It's Fundamental

I'm Sparky and I read too much. Books, articles, magazines, editorials, you name it and I'm generally sticking my nose in it.

If you want good summer reading...

I've been meaning for too long to do a review of two of my favorite authors. The problem has been that every time I start I start going through each and every book they've written, the post gets too long, and I have to go make dinner. I am working on them and will post them sometime in the coming weeks. In the meantime, go pick up anything by Guy Gavriel Kay (except the Fionavar Tapestry books, I just never got into those) and absolutely anything by Neal Stephenson. Kay moves faster, Stephenson is deeper, and either will put you into one of those "oh-my-goodness-I've-been-reading-for-four-hours-and-didn't-even-notice" type trances. I went on a cruise down Carribbean way and spent the whole time (minus half a day for visiting Mayan ruins) reading two Stephenson books, and counted it time very well spent.
