Right now I'm reading Thunderer by Felix Gilman. I haven't decided what to make of it yet, though. It's weird.

Favorite author...that's tough. There are many authors whom I like. As of right now however, I can only think of three authors whose books I buy on release in hardcover. I have to like an author a hell of a lot to do that. Steven Erikson, Kristen Britain, and Naomi Novik.

Chez, if you like surrealism you'll probably like Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon. It actually feels like reading a Hayao Miyazaki movie. IMO, anyways. It's a fantasy with a very eastern flavor.

Robin Hobb does have very good books but I find I can only read one of them every year or so. (Says the Malazan fan lol.) They're just so damned depressing all the time. The Farseer trilogy, anyways. I'm about to start the Tawny Man trilogy as soon as I finish Thunderer and possibly Elantris.

Oh, I thought of another author I really like: Scott Lynch. Still waiting for Republic of Thieves to be released. Excellent books but not for everyone; the wonky chronology can really screw with you if you've never read anything in that style before. The reward is well worth it, though.

This thread reminds me of how much reading I haven't been doing, and now I feel guilty. I've probably already blown my goal of reading 100 books this year, but it's not too late to try for 50. Anyone with me?
