F1ach: Abarat by Clive Barker. Good read.
Do you know how many there are? I got two of them from a library sale for a dollar, but I don't think I have the first one.

DieRuhe: Oh, let's see... a bit of nostalgia lately:

"On A Pale Horse" - Piers Anthony
I cannot believe I forgot to mention this guy along with the 6 other authors I mentioned before. I have read his whole "Incarnations of Immortality" series which has 7 Books.

On a Pale Horse
Bearing an Hourglass
A Tangled Skein
Wielding a Red Sword
Being a Green Mother
For Love of Evil
And Eternity

I also enjoyed his Phaze series as well. "The Game" is just so cool ;)

I read the first four years ago when they came out, which got lost along the way. During Christmas I decided to get the whole series. Apparently there's an eighth book, "Under A Velvet Cloak", but I haven't seen it yet and it's "temporarily out of stock" at Amazon.

For some reason his Under a Velvet Cloak was only released very sparsely, There were 150 Limited Edition Hard Covers. Otherwise it's only available in Trade Paperback or Digital Format.

Here is a link to the publishers site where you can get it if you want. I sadly won't spend 14 bucks plus shipping to get the damn thing. I also hate electronic books.

I see. Thank you!
Just finished Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs and enjoyed it so much that I just went on to the next adventure in the John Carter Series, Gods of Mars. Read 5 Chapters last night already, so I could be on to the next one by the end of the week.
"Tesla : Man Out of Time" by Margaret Cheney.

Well finished up the Gods of Mars, and just like the Princess of Mars, I really enjoyed it. Moving on to the next book in the John Carter Series, Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Lectures to My Students - C. H. Spurgeon
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Been meaning to read it for a while now
I'm doing a chronological read-through of Heinlein's works, at least up to Starship Troopers. Currently reading Metusaleh's Children.

The horror...the horror.
Halfway throught the book I realized there was something very familiar about it...
