I just finished the 6 book series The Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan a fun, light epic fantasy and just what I need for this stressful summer.

And, I started last night Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. I only read about 20 pages last nite. This is going to be more than just fun! I loved the part where Alan Turing suggesting doing some penis thing with the protag ;-)

Please let us know how it is. I've noticed a lot of 1-star reviews and wonder if readers are upset about the quality of writing, or the age difference between the main characters.

I'm reading The Ghosts of Belfast (Jack Lennon Investigations #1) by Stuart Neville


message 24: by Jon (new)

Jon (jon_michaelsen) | 84 comments If you like a tight, deftly plotted gay mystery set in New Orleans, author Greg Herren's Murder In The Garden District fits the bill. I just finished this novel yesterday.

Murder In The Garden District (Chanse MacLeod, #5) by Greg Herren

I just finished Cryptonomicon (wow!) and started Daemon another CyberFi I am really enjoying. It's hard SF about the net and doesn't patronize the reader, but assumes one know how networking protocols work. I love it!

Jon (jon_michaelsen) | 84 comments I'm currently reading the third book in the former New Orleans homicide cop, turned private eye - Michel Doucette; Second Chance series.

Second Chance by David Lennon - is so far, as good as the first two, The Quarter Boys by David Lennon and Echoes (The Quarter Boys) by David Lennon

If you love a New Orleans setting with gay-themed murder-mysteries, this series is great!

I absolutely loved it. I see where some people want to stay away from the taboo student/teacher relationship. But as for the writing, in my opinion, there were minimal complaints. It's alternating perspective, for one, but I thought it gelled well. It does skip forward at odd increments (a day later, a month later, etc.) but it didn't bother me. I saw a few complaints about vocabulary, but I was so focused on the story that I didn't even notice.

Diane Mareci (amyzngraz) Today I just finished reading "Afterwards" by Rosamund Lupton and I give it 5 stars, and I started "The Boy in the Suit Case" and the first few pages are not bad

Kevin Klehr (goodreadscomkevink) | 150 comments I'm reading 'The Book Thief' - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

Beautifully written but it doesn't grab me as much as it has others who've read it.

I'm currently reading The Prince and the Program on an iPad and only the 2nd eBook I've read. It's a Cyberfi with m/m characters, though I have not gotten to that part yet. It's much better than I expected.

Rob Kaufman (rob_kaufman) | 24 comments I am reading: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
It's not gay, but it IS eye opening.
So far, so good.
