So I finished A Dance With Dragons, meaning I'm all caught up with ASoIaF. I'm half convinced that George R R Martin is some mind of demon that feeds on the tears of his readers and fresh babies. Mostly readers' tears. The man is evil... and I can't wait for his next book.

edit: tears, not rears.

Good choice.

Of course, there's not much else out there...

I finished The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero the other day. I very highly recommend this book, it gives a rare insight into the otherwise unfathomable workings of the mind of Tommy Wiseau.

Also today I stayed up much later than I should have and finished The Cuckoo's Calling by JRobertK GalbRowlingaith. It was amazing! This should have been JK's first non-Potter book instead of The Casual Vacancy. Not to say TCV wasn't good, but I think maybe it was a bit too different from what readers are used to from Rowling.

Jay's talked me into reading Salvatore.  Gods help me, I'm actually liking it.

And The Meek Shall Inherit The Galaxy, a Mass Effect AU where humanity's first contact was a peaceful, mutually beneficial event with the down-and-out Migrant Fleet instead of the Relay 314 Incident.

Forgot to mention, I was reading The Maltese Falcon and other Sam Spade stories, which is a large part of why I'm in such a detective story mood right now. Well, between that and The Cuckoo's Calling.

Of course, there's not much else out there...

Peter H. Wilson, of Thirty Years' War fame, has an earlier book that heavily involves Prussia*. It's very good, probably better than Iron Kingdom, though I do like that one as well. It's a little more dry and a lot longer.

Just read Dan Abnett's latest in the Ravenor series. Very confusing, but very good!
