More adventure on the moon!

This story is starting to drag a bit. Lots and lots of talking but not much doing.

Somewhat darker than the first book of the series, but I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm really enjoying the action and the characters.

The presence of magic in what I was expecting to be a scifi book was surprising but I'm still enjoying it so far.

First read this not long after the movie came out, so I don't really remember much of it. Looking forward to reading it again!

Off to an interesting start.

Enjoying this book so far.

Half way through the book and I'm still not really into it.

An interesting concept, tying the stories together with a common battlemech, rather than a character or location.

A quarter of the way into this book and I'm still undecided if I like it or not.

Continuing to enjoy this anthology.

This anthogy is reminding me of Arthur C. Clarke's book Tales from the White Hart.

I though it was interesting that this book takes place on another world of islands like the author's Earthsea series.

The book has a rather odd prolog which is mostly unrelated to the main storyline until the very end. The first chapter dived right back into the story where the last book ended, though, and is just as good so far.

I'm rereading the original Dracula to refresh my memory before I tackle the English translation of the Icelandic translation of the book. For those not familiar with this situation , it seems the story was extensively rewritten when it was originally translated into Icelandic. I'm looking forward to seeing the differences!

I remember Pickman's Model from an old anthology TV series (Night Gallery?).

A story of preservation through refrigeration!

Finished, "The Vault" about a lazy mortician who cuts one corner too many.
