    Just started last night. Almost half way through already.

    I liked it. The perfect summer read. And I love the cover.

    I loved both of Rothfuss' books -- big time! Cool that you met him and he was good to talk to.

    Let us know your thoughts on elantris. I really enjoyed Sanderson's Mistborn. I want to read the way of the kings next by him, but sooner or later i'll probably read all of his stuff.

    Now I'm going to read this, to help psych myself up for the Wrigley show:

    I finished this on the way back from the Wrigley show. Not bad, but not quite what I expected either. It definitely gets you excited to see PJ on tour.

    I also finished the second Time book, A Wind Through the Door. This means I've read 25 books of my 60-book goal for the year. Woo! :mrgreen:

    I've decided to keep rolling with these kids books (cause they're fun, quick reads, and I need to get back on schedule). I'm now reading this:

    Her previous books have touched on religious aspects before, but this one is much more overt. Nonetheless, it's still a fairly interesting read. I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and hope to finish it in the next couple days so I can start the fourth book in the series.

    Elantris was pretty cool. A different sort of story and in this genre that is always refreshing. I really wanted it to keep going on although it is also different to read a 'one and done' in the genre.
    Way of the Kings was awesome, I thought it was one of the best I have read in the last year.
    I tried starting Mistborn a few times but didnt get past the first chapters. Those 3 will be read sometime soon.

    Just started this last night; damn series take up so much time!

    I almost bought "Something Wicked..." this weekend too, but decided to just get "The Cuckoo's Calling" by JK Rowling since my birthday gift card would only cover one book.

    How is "Something Wicked..."?

    Awesome take on the Batman origin.

    a follow-up to:

    I have the first book, but it got packed up before I had a chance to read it...

    Fast read, I'm almost done and started Sunday night, something is wrong with the book or something...keeps making my eyes water and stuff.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Very cool. Is that a newer graphic novel or an older one?

    Not bad. Not exactly what I expected, but it wasn't bad. I prefer the first two books in the series. Now I'm reading the last of the original Time Quartet:

    a-swiftly-tilting-planet1.jpg

    Once I finish this, I'll read one more in this series to round off the Time Quintet, and then call it a day for the young adult books. I think I'm going to dive into the Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars books next ...

    Just finished Joyland last night. Another good quick read by SK.
    I really liked this quote from the book:
    When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to be twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're fucking lost



    Up next:

    His first book and the only one of his I havent read yet.
    Sounds pretty interesting.
    The book explores the theme of government surveillance of electronically stored information on the private lives of citizens, and the possible civil liberties and ethical implications using such technology.
