A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction
A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction

Review:This book...is going to utterly torment me about not having started Discworld yet, isn't it? I've read little bit! "Circle of Magic," a few short stories, some descriptions. But I'm only vaguely aware of the real plot of the series. And...this book is going to change that, because the glimpse I got was so tantalizing, I do believe tomorrow I'm hitting the used bookstore.

This isn't just a Discworld book. About half of the stories are unconnected short fiction, including some of Pratchett'... Read more

The Tsar of Love and Techno: Stories
The Tsar of Love and Techno: Stories

Review:Excellent and authentic writing about several different eras in Russia/Soviet Union. Written by a very gifted young author. The title story seems a little too worked over. The cynicism of some of the characters' is wearisome at times. Read more

Palo Alto: Stories
Palo Alto: Stories

Review:James Franco the actor somewhat transferred to James Franco the author in this book.
Fun, unexpected and sexy as he explores Palo Alto youth and their "extra curricular" activities out of home and school.

Bottom line is, I enjoyed it. Buy it, laugh and pass it al... Read more

Shadowed Souls
Shadowed Souls

Review:Only a couple of stories worth reading, the rest was trash that I skipped through due to unnecessary foul language or poor writing. It's quite a bit of money to pay for a mostly unreadable book. Very disappointed. Read more

Fire in the Hole: Stories

Review:Great series of stories. The short story is still alive and its a pleasure to get a collection from one of your favorite authors. This has only one drawback....once you finish you are bummed that its over. Great reading for any damn time at all! Read more

Darkness Rises (Immortal Guardians series Book 4)
Darkness Rises (Immortal Guardians series Book 4)

Review:I love this author, love the series, love the characters and love the intriguing story line that combines vampires, immortals and aliens. The more we learn the more we want to learn and the author is quite clever in dolling out little bits of things to come without losing the focus on the current endearing duo. There is a freshness in Krysta and Etienne and the way they fall in love that appeals, and add to this a mix of sexy and you can't miss.

Is there anything bad? Yes, the wait for t... Read more

Review:Great book for a hike or for a metaphysical hike. I can't get over how cool it is to read about how others experience the outdoors and the fact that these guys use the simplicity of haiku fits so well. Read more
