What are you reading?

I loved Friday, up until the end where she marries you-know-who. Still love the character, but not so much how the book ends. But again, Heinlein was a nutty guy, and you have to love him for it, even when you hate him. ;)

Yes! It's like the way Leela left Doctor Who, back in the day! :evil:

Friday goes from kick@ss warrior woman to baby machine in the blink of an eye; I have no problems with strong female characters having babies, more power to them, but in her case it was like a switch flipped and boom! no more action, lots of babies.

One of the many reasons I loved The Incredibles was the fact that Elastigirl was allowed to do both. :clap:

I loved Soon I will be Invincible, I've read it twice. I'm currently in the middle of "Drinking Midnight Wine." It's very good adult fantasy(that's adult as in over 18, not adult as in Ron Jeremy.) It's funny without taking away from the story, and has some interesting takes on old ideas.

Lately I've been reading the "Booster Gold" Showcase. It's awesome! (And it gives me ideas for the Freedomverse...)

I've recently finished Soon I will be invincible R.A Salvatore's Road of the patriarch and Minister fausts The notesbooks of Dr. Brain All of them are incredibly good

I recently re-read The Zombie Survival Guide, then read World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. Fun, fun stuff. ;)

One of the gifts I got for my birthday was Alien Emergencies, which contains the 4th, 5th, and 6th books of the Sector General series (Ambulance Ship, Sector General, and Star Healer).

So far, it's been Very Nifty.

(And, yes, they have a TV Tropes page )

I'm reading Ron Paul's The Revolution, and Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes and The Dark Half.

One of my planned beach vacation reads is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Also the 2nd and 3rd Star Doc novels, which are kinda like the Sector General series I mentioned a few posts up, but not as good. (True, there's not the "women can only be nurses b/c the female brain can't possibly learn all that's needed to know to be a doctor" 50s sexism holdover as seen in SG, but that is that series only flaw; the medicine and science in that series is up front and solid, and the aliens aren't of the Star Trek "mostly humanoid, and can interbreed with anything regardless of background" type, they are weird and wondrous in variety. By contrast, the first SD book had about as much medical science as an ep of Grey's Anatomy, and there is repeated mention of cross-breeding.)

I am still currently plowing through GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire series. Currently reading Clash of Kings. The hospital stay was great for my reading. I must have read like 500 pages of the book while I was there. (Sadly that's only about half of the book).

[angrydurf]

I will off the advice I give everyone reading the Song of Ice and Fire series stop at the end of clash of Kings you will be happier. It has a pretty rapid decline in quality after that book, though not as bad as the later Wheel of Time books.

You can never stop! I know people that loved them all. And I am a fantasy junkie, so I am pretty much suckered in by now :/
