Can't be arsed.

Talking to yourself is not fun after a while. Don't get me wrong, I never wanted to be read and still don't. This was just a rather elaborate way to keep track of the books I'm reading. I know, a spreadsheet/database would be easy to set up. I know I have one running on Google docs. This is the graphical front end.

So, since "The Moat Around Murcheson's Eye".
"Contagious" by Scott Sigler. 10/10, superb even better than the shock filled first book.
Then.
"The Looking Glass Wars" & "Seeing Redd" by Frank Beddor. Both re-reads. Fucking brilliant the two, read in anticipation of imminent delivery of the third book of the trilogy. "Archenemy" Which too is excellent. My only problem is the author, quote from wikipedia and elsewhere "Frank Beddor is a former world champion freestyle skier, a film producer, actor, stuntman, and author.[1] He produced There's Something About Mary and Wicked." Plus a bestselling author. overachieving bastard.
Then.
Eater by Greg Benford, another re-read from ages ago. Didn't work so well as most of his previous stuff.
Then onto.
"The Rising" by Brian Keene. Which I did enjoy but he has played too much with his zombies for me to get book 2. Running, talking, driving, planning and gun firing zombies are just fucking wrong.
And then.
"The Osiris Ritual" by George Mann. Excellent steampunk adventure. Will be buying all other books by this author. 1 book could have been a flash in the pan 2 this good, he's worth following.

Knackered now.
