Usually stories written about adults crossing from our world into another are time travel stories, but this wasn&#39;t.<br /><br />But that was this month, come to think of it. Read a lot of great books last year (Hunger Games, White Cat, An Abundance of Katherines, etc) but top of my list has to be The Ghost Brigades. It tore me up. Old Man&#39;s War was good, but Ghost Brigades had me crying all day at work, and I immediately went back and read it again, hoping it didn&#39;t end the way I thought it had. Which doesn&#39;t sound like much of a selling point, but there you have it. John Scalzi&#39;s brilliant.<br /><br />And now I&#39;m going to read Mark Haddon&#39;s book on your recommendation...Iliadfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275409183452982688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-70109996994773751122011-01-20T07:47:16.683+07:002011-01-20T07:47:16.683+07:00@Emmet: I know we disagree on the Mistborn thing. ...@Emmet: I know we disagree on the Mistborn thing. I thought the way it ended was the only way it could have. To me, it was perfect.<br /><br />@Susan: Leviathan is definitely a contender for my 2011 list. We&#39;ll see.<br /><br />@Dibarkar &amp; @Matthew: It makes me happy that folks like these posts. I sometimes wonder if I should do them, seeing as how they&#39;re only my opinion. Then again, we are book people.

I always love to discover books that others liked.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Ship Breaker, by Paolo Bacigalupi, and No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy.Matthew Rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-23808653149356949832011-01-19T20:28:49.814+07:002011-01-19T20:28:49.814+07:00I am enriched coming to this blog once again...I am enriched coming to this blog once again...Dibakar Sarkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461627971193736382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-63359964588941957962011-01-19T20:27:23.721+07:002011-01-19T20:27:23.721+07:00How did Mistborn escape my TBR pile?

Well, that&#39;s fixed now.<br /><br />Hunger Games and Leviathan/Behemoth top my list, but I also really enjoyed The Hunchback Assignments, a story about a young shape-shifting quasimodo character in a steampunk era...as a spy. It was a great example of a compelling character driving an entire book.<br /><br />One of my resolutions is to read more this year. No really, I mean it this time.Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-86174258312095874042011-01-19T19:28:31.372+07:002011-01-19T19:28:31.372+07:00I&#39;d say &#39;Far From the Madding Crowd&#39; b...I&#39;d say &#39;Far From the Madding Crowd&#39; by Thomas Hardy was the one I read and was wondering why I never read it before and ended up recommending the most. There were a handful of theology books that were pretty good (won&#39;t bother you with the titles). The Myst Born trilogy were fun and the most creative, but for some reason they were never able to maintain the awesome trajectory that was set by the first book.<br /><br />I turned a lot of pages this year, and enjoyed most of them, but there wasn&#39;t a lot that went straight to the top of my favorites list. I am reading &#39;Never Let Me Go&#39; and &quot;Le Miserables&#39; right now, I can imagine either or both of them placing high on the list next year.Emmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758728975176586446noreply@blogger.com
