I'm a bad man just got around to picking up Snow Crash.  For some reason I was thinking this was a much newer novel then it was.  Sooo dated and abit cheesy.  I had to put it down about halfway thru and got back to the altered carbon series, finishing up third book now.

Going through a dry spell again, but trying to go over SR4A and Unwired.  Then maybe give War! another shot, this time not in a hospital ER waiting lounge.

The Count of Monte Cristo (free on my kindle!)  and the Eclipse Phase core book.  Then I guess I should get back into Unwired

Try Fallen Angels or Epic, if you can get your grubby paws on them.
They are an interesting read, especially epic, especially in this crowd.

Read Fallen Angels already.

Will have to try Epic.  Author?

Also, I have to get my hands on an English copy of Metro 2033.

*Sighs*  Let me go get War! out again and give it another shot while traveling on far too many bus rides...  And bars.  Lots of bars.

Fool Moon done, back to Count of Monte Cristo and Eclipse Phase core book.

My wife got me the Kindle version of Dresden book 2, so I had to take a couple of days to knock it out :)

Speaking of which, I was about to go to my local chain store and pick up Ghost Story, the latest book of the Dresden Files...but was verboten by my significant other....now I know what I'm gonna get for my B-day.

Now, guess I'll go and read Game of Thrones again.

How is Game of Thrones?  I have looked at the book but wonder how it reads? Slow, Fast, or intermediate?

It moves along fairly well, but it's complex with a lot of plots and subplots. Intermediate to fast if i had to rate it,
