Just bought the first two Gap novels from Stephen R Donaldson. I haven't read anything by him before, but have heard lots of praise.
Well, we've got a bit of catching up to do.
In the past few months:
The Emperor's Finest (Ciaphas Cain #7) - Sandy Mitchell
Eggheads - Emily Devenport
Doctor Who New Series Adventures - 11th Doctor vols #1-3 & #7-9 - Various
Caliban's War (The Expanse #2) - James S.A. Corey
Fire Season (Stephanie Harrington #2) - David Weber & Jane Lindskold
Chris Wooding - Retribution Falls
Chris Wooding - Black Lung Captain
Found these at a local used bookstore today. Does anyone know if the third book, The Iron Jackel will be published in the U.S.?
I believe this is the US edition.Quote:

Oh, Cool, I didn't know about this thread.
Books that I recently bought are:
Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey (which i am reading now)
Neormancer by William Gibson
Conisder Phlebas by Iain M Banks
Mindstar Rising by Peter F Hamilton
Revelation Space by Allistar Reynolds
My only problem is which to read next after Leviathan Wakes, although I am enjoying it so much that I am thinking about reading the sequel before moving on to a new series. what do you guys think?
Well since you asked, I have opinions. :-DQuote:

Good advice. Right now I am thinking space them out a bit. I can get book 2 in march, then get book 3 in june, and I can read a few other books in between. I guess I could also read the 2 novellas in between as well since they are so short. I think that is the plan for now, although that plan can change 10 times before june haha.
I bought The Apocalypse Ocean by Tobias Buckell for my kindle, only $4.99. This is the fourth in his Xenowealth saga.
Little behind on this list.
