I looked at last year's list, and it seems I stop reading before Dragoncon. I'm going to try it again. I may even do some really very short reviews. Lets go!

Starting with December 2008
1. The Black Company by Glen Cook. This is my one of my new series to read.
2. Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander. I took the test at the end and found out I was one-third white. Sweet!
3. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max. I don't think this would make it in above mentioned book. It is very funny.
4. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. I know my grandmother will disown me, but Savannah is better than Charleston. There I said it.
5. Sorcery Rising by Jude Fisher. I'm up in the air about this one. There's a look of "stirring in the pants" and "flashing of naked flesh". Eh
6.Camber of Culdi by Katherine Kurtz. Have you noticed certain scenes on the cover of books are not what envision them to be.
7. The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin. What does the Sci-Fi channel suck. They have great material and they fuck it up. Or replace a great show with killer crocodiles. Thank God BSG is coming back own.
8. Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. Does anyone else wish maps in fantasy books were a centerfold that you can tear out. I literally broke the book, turning back and forth while reading.
9. The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett. I wish Raleigh had reliable public transportation.

10. The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander. I just put the movie on Netflix. Childhood here I come
11. Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper. The Seeker: The Dark is Rising = boo. Christopher Eccleston must redeem himself in the G.I Joe Movie.
12. Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling. As I read this on the floor of Barnes and Nobles, I imagined Rowling diving in a pool of money in her vault. Just like Uncle Scrooge in Duck Tales.

13.The Prince of Shadows by Curt Benjamin Good book. Got lost sometimes. I need to start reading Chinese mythology. Boo Touchstone.
14. Bimbos from the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb. Must read for DragonCon. Best part is that the author isn't sci-fi/fantasy writer.

15. The People of the Mist by H. Rider Haggard. I wonder if I am my friends' noble savage. African adventures would make a good steampunk costume.
