2008 Bookpost #1
[info]the_sheryl is next to me typing up a booklist and Malice Domestic review, which reminds me I haven't done a bookpost yet this year. So here are my reads from the first third of the year. It's a shorter list than one would expect given all my travel. OTOH, I've spent large portions of various flights on workstuff, and time at home catching up on newspapers after business trips, which eats reading time.

The list so far:
1. The Forest of Time and Other Stories, Michael Flynn
2. The Heart of Valor, Tanya Huff
3. Empire from the Ashes, David Weber (omnibus of Mutineers’ Moon, The Armageddon Inheritance, and Heirs to Empire)
4. Burning Bridges, Laura Anne Gilman
5. Night Train To Rigel, Timothy Zahn
6. High Steel, Jim Rasenberger
7. Remaking the World, Henry Petroski
8. Cradle, Arthur C. Clarke & Gentry Lee
9. The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, Michael Chabon
10. A Thousand Words for Stranger, Julie Czerneda

I've been meaning to pick up the sequel to Night Train to Rigel at the library. I really like Zahn's non-Star Wars stuff.

I haven't actually read much Zahn, Star Wars or otherwise. But, for obvious reasons, the concept of the Quadrail caught my eye.

We overlap on A Thousand Words for Stranger, which I just finished and really enjoyed.

Unfortunately I have read little else in terms of novels - several issues of Fantasy and Science Fiction and lots of business reading. I need to make more time to read!

It's been on my to-be-read bookcase for a few months; I think I picked it up at OVFF or Darkover. I grabbed it for my recent trip figuring if I'm traveling to Canada, I should bring some Canadian content to read, right? 8-)
