About meThat's my baby in the picture. I'm thinking he's probably the reason the number of books I read every year decreases. But he's well worth it. Or it could be my band, my job, D&D, WoW, or even sites like this (should just call it nerd-crack-com).

Been reading mostly fantasy and sci-fi (and some horror) for about 30 years now. Have done some regular fiction and non-fiction and just got into graphic novels about 8 years ago (although I read comics on and off all my life).

I tend to like dark/gritty fantasy and sci-fi (Mieville, Moorcock, Martin etc...). I really like monsters and magic a lot but not necessarily to the extent you find them in D&D Novels. I don't like really hard sci-fi and have been getting into historical fiction a lot more (mostly Cornwell) recently.

About my libraryI do a lot of books on audio and I also get graphic novels from the library and don't own the actual book so I'm not sure how that will affect my recommendations. Maybe I'll add them in but tag them as "not owned" or something similar.
I think I have between 1500 and 2000 books laying around here but have read less than 25% of them.

At the moment my reviews are just a short sentence or two that I kept in my original database. As I finish books in the future I hope to add something more like a real review.

Noticed you liked Fight Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed bunch of kids and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit.

Thanks,

Yes, I am on Goodreads as well, but you reminded me that I haven't updated anything in over a year. Might as well do a LT-2-GR mass export.
I sent you a friend request, hope you don't mind. Be my friend? I've got gum, jacks.

I've got a young son too and can relate to your reduced reading time, but yes certainly worth it.
Ok, thanks. That is what I was thinking, something like that. Yeah, it has been a lot of work and research to put the list together, but I have learnt a fair bit doing it.
Hi, I noticed the Harkfast book, is that more a historical riff, or fantasy?

Thanks,

Hi there, no I could only get Nikki 5. And no I didn't write it. And I can't say it's as good because Kesey's book was a classic. But its a good read and I would say challenging and educational.
Have you read One Flew Under the Cuckoo's Nest?
No, I'm not on page 516; I just passed 600. Very cool book so far. I like it better than A Fire Upon the Sky.
Happy reading,
Nic
