    A Game of Thrones is one of the best books you'll ever read Lawless and the same goes for the sequels, so look out for them!

    Primary Inversion - Catherine Asaro

    Pretty good hard scifi. Unlike most hard SF, it actually has minor details such as decent character development.

    I just started reading - The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
    So far, it's very good and exceedingly well written.

    The book is well written. The stuff he claims is true is a bit shonky. Refer to my review in the Booktalk forum.

    Over the week-end I put aside Mad Ship and I read Blue Moon Rising and I have started on Beyond the Blue Moon by Simon Green. Like the rest of the Hawk and Fisher series they are not great but they are good, quick and fun to read.

    read a lot while i was on my internet withdrawal :D

    Autumn Bridge by Takashi Matsuoka. Great book about Samurai.

    Rhum Punch by Elmore Leonard. Wasn't too bad, pretty funny, but it was no "Get Shorty".

    By the Rivers of Babylon by Nelson Demille. Much better than the General's Daughter imo.

    a couple more books but I forget them at the moment :D

    Also, I may have a chance to meet Neil Gaiman next week, woohoo! He's in town for a book signing and since He's a brit he's got a lunch with the local British society and my mom may be able to get me an invite.
