rangers apprentice is good, i've read the series, but i refuse to pay and extra $10 for hard cover when i can just wait a year and get paperback

Yeah, I'm now up to book 3 of the Ranger's Apprentice series. The books are okay, but seem to stagger around a bit. But at least they go somewhere. I listened to Larry McMurty's Telegraph Days on a whim and was horrendously disappointed in it.

was a pretty kickass follow-up to Leviathan, but I hope the ending of the trilogy doesn't end too "happy", given that they haven't gotten out of the first few months of World War I yet. Of course, the finale "Goliath" will be out in a few months.

As will "Mark of the Golden Dragon" the latest in the series that I've gotten addicted to. Me and Morgan are really digging the series on audiobook, but Kris hasn't been too impressed (he picked up a copy of book three, Under the Jolly Roger and read it during one of the really bad conventions he had last month.

Still loving Vampire Earth, and 's up to Valentine's Exile now. I picked up a deal pack on 's Lightbringer Trilogy book one: The Black Prism from them.

And there's a sixth book coming out in Bernard Cornwell's .

It's not that I wasn't impressed by the Bloody Jack book; it's that I was DEPRESSED by the book. It seems like looking at Jacky Faber's life is like watching a train that just never stops wrecking.

I liked that book better than anything of Bernard Cornwell, though; Cornwell writes in worlds where all humans are irredeemable evil bastards, and to me that gets tiring VERY fast.

Which is annoying, because I think that's half the audiobooks I have right now... I've picked up some of the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn, and don't even get me started on Deathlands...
