    Superhero Novels

    Not sure if you read it yet, but it was among my favorites of 2013. In terms of superhero books I also readThe Violent Centuryby Lavie Tidhar which was also pretty good. The writing is very strange (and fairly annoying) but the content of the story was great.

    Scott Lynch (Gentlemen Bastards)

    Ooops. Well, either way the point is approximately the same. Cliff hangers with long waits would annoy me a bit more, because by the time the next book has come out I've forgotten how the previous one ended.

    Scott Lynch (Gentlemen Bastards)

    What I don't understand is how the anticipation of what happens next could be so painful to you for two years and then you can just turn it off, and decide you are no longer interested. I haven't read any of these books since the first one (which I didn't like but that isn't the point) but it...

    What did you just read?

    I just finished The Fractal Prince by Hannu Rajaniemi, the sequel to the The Quantum Thief which has been recommended here a few times. Overall, I loved both books. They are intensely post-human, with the line between technology and biology blurred to the point of non-existence. This...

    April Book of the Month Poll

    The print version of Blood Song doesn't come out until July (at least according to Amazon) any way we could sideline it until then? I doubt I am the only one without an ereader.

    How many books can you read at a time and the ereader/tablet curse

    I can only keep up with one book at a time, unless it is Short Story September, then I like to have collections by a couple different authors going. Also, I never got into ebooks. I have enough regular books to read for the next couple years, and I'm never so excited about a book that I need...
