Not yet. I'm going to start when I'm finished with Wolfkind.

The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran

One-Actmanship (My Narrator/The Death of Me) by Norm Foster. His work is always good for a nice, light bit of fun.

Also about to dig into some Morris Panych, likely 7 Stories and The Ends of the Earth (again).

bwaaaaahahahahahaha - We listened to the first two books on CD... The reader was pretty ridiculous, so when vociferating Koontz's turgid prose, it was pretty amusing.

I'm not a huge Koontz fan, but the story was fun... Cheesy, cheesy fun. Terrible writing. Awful voice acting. Didn't get much farther than Book II... We just couldn't take it anymore.

...

Currently reading The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood... It's the sequel to her Oryx and Crake... I can't recommend Oryx and Crake enough if you like a good post-apocalyptic tale. Also, if you've read Handmaid's Tale (which is fantastic), you'll love these books.

HIGHLY recommended.

Hopefully reading it will be better than listening to it. I've already bought all the books.
