Well, I just finished reading The Long War By Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. It was an interesting read, but felt very much like a 'middle novel' in that a lot of it just seemed to set up the next novel(s). Still a cool series, and I am looking forward to reading the rest when it comes out.
This is the book I just finished, or put down before finishing, rare for me to do so. Sorry, but I did not think it was very good. Discworld Pratchett is much, much, much better.
Right now, I am re-reading William Gibson's "Neuromancer", along with a book of essays he wrote. Anyone interested in cyberspace, or virtual reality, and how we interact with it, and who has not read him, will be blown away by anything he's written. Short and easy to read, and uber-entertaining....like manga but without pictures!
