I just finished NOS4A2 and I really enjoyed it. Noticed a couple things that have probably been posted here but I've been avoiding reading anything about the book so as to avoid ruining it for me.

Spoiler!

The number of Wraiths changed, total and in the US. Also, the morgue security guards girlfriend, who was said to be a fan of serial killers didn't know John Wayne Stacy last name is actually Gacy. Could have been an intentional error, but I think this character, although very minor as far as the story goes, should know the actual name. Not really big things but I feel they should have been caught by the multiple editors.

Now onto Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson.

EDIT: and as others have said, make sure to read the comments on the typeface at the end of the book.

I need to read this at some point. I read his second book Amped and it is the worst book I have read in recent memory. I have heard this is much better.

Really? I recall enjoying Amped.

Yep, want an extra copy?

I still need to get a hold Robopocalypse. Have to buy it first, of course, lol. Never read anything from the author yet

Just started The Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C Clarke. 1991 Del Rey ed paperback. Interesting blurb in the front by the author in a sense knocking, indirectly mind you, the Star Trek / Star Wars type series as more fantasy than true science fiction. I would agree.

This is going to be a good one I can tell.

Finished Dunwich Romance by Edward Lee. Is there a more dysfunctional couple to write a romance about? He pulls it off rather well I thought, you really feel for them to some degree, of course he mixes it in with his usual shocking sexual content.

Now reading The Ushers by Lee. Some good stuff including his second Grub Girl story.

Star Wars really is space fantasy. Star Trek has a bit more science to its fiction, but definitely not the hard science that Clarke would have preferred.

3/4 through The Queen of Bedlam. Book 2 in the Matthew Corbett series. McCammon is so brilliant. This is just as good as Speaks the Nightbird.

I love the M.C. books so far, but after 3, I have decided to wait until all ten are done and start over. I'm getting too old to remember so many books with the time between publication!! LOL!

Well, I was able to buy Laymon's "Bite" and Rudy Rucker's "The Hacker and The Ants" from my library yesterday, but I probably won't read them until I get through the Mario Acevedo series; just started the first last night and I'm hooked.

I love this series. Looking forward to River of Souls coming out this year.

Same here. I discovered McCammon way back, in the early eighties and liked him then. My favorite has always been Boy's Life, but his current Matthew Corbett series is amazing.
Can't wait for River of Souls - and am very glad this will be a ten-book series.
I do hope McCammon will return to a recent character, Trevor Lawson - I Travel By Night. This could turn out to be another winner, if turned into a series.

Have spent the last month working through the Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer, on Book 3. Love this story for the most part.
