What I am also reading in October

[Jon]

Of my original reading list for October, I'm nearly there!

I'm half finished with both Frankenstein and The Well of Ascension: Book Two of Mistborn and about three-fourths finished with the adult fairy tale anthology Snow White, Blood Red.

The Hero of Ages has been signed by Brandon Sanderson and is in the mail (or should be). Interesting side note - This book is #21 this week on the New York Times Bestseller List.

I'm not squared away enough to have a reading list, but I did get the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books to read. I'll start it at lunch.

Recently finished Lord of Light by Roger Zelanzy. I must confess, I had trouble wading my way thru it, but appreciate the over concept portrayed.

Currently reading Scalzi's The Ghost Brigades. Awesome, as expected. Scalzi is now on my list of "Will buy no matter what" authors.

Also reading Meyer's The Host: A Novel on the recommendation of a friend. It is turning out better than I thought it would but I am discovering Stephenie Meyer is not my "kind" of author. I finally finished her Twilight series and was heartily sick of it in the end. I think I am going to jump OFF the S Meyer band wagon after this last book.

Scalzi is definitely on my must-read list. However, he's strictly in the paperback category. I read his books too fast to buy in hardback.

I am also reading Holes by Louis Sachar.

I finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. The HBO series 'True Blood' is based on it. It was surprisingly good.

My mother turned me on to Duty: A Father, His Son, and the Man Who Won the War by Bob Greene. It's about the author, his father, a WWII veteran & Paul Tibbets, the man who ran the operation & piloted the Enola Gay to drop the bomb on Hiroshima. How he twines the stories together, learns more about his father through Tibbets & Tibbets himself is well done. Not my normal read, but well worth the time.

i read Storm Front, last month's group read, largely because i couldn't resist it in a toronto used bookstore after seeing it discussed here. i felt it was very light fare, but not unenjoyable.

i also finished dozois' 25th Years Best Science Fiction, which never disappoints.

Second book in the Dresden series is Fool Moon.
