* denotes reading an electronic copy (on phone/PSP/etc)
January
1. Bruce Sterling — Heavy Weather (my first Sterling book. I’m fairly confused by it — not sure I like his writing style. I have a copy of Islands in the Net, I’ll probably give that a try before I give up on him.)
2. Gordon Van Gelder (Editor) — The Very Best of Fantasy & Science Fiction: Sixtieth Anniversary Anthology (almost certainly the best collection of science fiction short stories I have ever read)
February
3. Goeffrey Hindley — Medieval Sieges and Siegecraft (pretty descriptive title. good information)
* 4. H. P. Lovecraft — At the Mountains of Madness (I’ve read quite a bit of Lovecraft now — I’m liking it all quite a bit)
March
* 5. Cory Doctorow — Little Brother (I stayed up till 3 am to finish this — I haven’t done that for any book in years. I think this book should be required reading in the USA.)
6. Bernard Beckett — Genesis (this was short and excellent. not really sure what else to say about it)
* 7. Cory Doctorow — Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (this was also good; more standard scifi-fare, about Disney World in a post-scarcity Earth)
8. David Currie — Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic (the “conversion” story of an Evangelical preacher turned Catholic apologist. he explains many differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs and the justification for those beliefs. excellent read.)
