recommended

Someone on reddit recently asked what is an amazing book from a genre I typically don't read. Here's my recommendation. Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb. It's a whodunit set at a science fiction convention.

I remember reading this when I was in middle school.
I found this copy at Gardeners a while ago and decided to reread it.

Summer Reading 3

I've been reading kind of slow lately, that's why I only chose three books this summer. It's still a lot of reading, over 2000 pages altogether . It might take me till Halloween to finish reading them.

collector's item

Rowlf/Underground 3
by
Richard Corben
I finally got this back. It was missing from my collection for a while. Then it was on my Amazon wish list for a long time, but it cost fifty or sixty bucks. Then one day someone offered it for 30. Now it's mine once again.

option read

It's time once again for two football teams to battle it out over which book I'm going to read next.
The Denver Broncos represent Love and Peace With Melody Paradise by Martin Millar.
The Seattle Seahawks represent Dinner at Deviant's Palace by Tim Powers.
I don't know who's going to win, They both look like pretty good books.
