As good as I remember it. The only problem with the e-book version is that someone formatted it with an inch of margin on every side (even when I set margins to minimum), which doesn't leave much room for content, so frequent page turns are required.
Don't publishers ever actually try looking at the end result?
A Clash of Kings (HBO Tie-in Edition) (A Song of Ice and Fire #2)
Working my way through the "Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R. R. Martin. Nearly done with "Clash of Kings." Loving it! Between each, as a little break, I'm reading one of the books in the "Wool" series by Hugh Howey. Also loving it. Like to balance out my reading. Follow up a book that takes two weeks or so to get through with one that takes a day or less...

Found a Sheri S. Tepper book that somehow slipped under my radar! The Visitor, used hardcover, $3...win!
Loved it!!!
The Visitor by Sheri S. Tepper
Sheri S. Tepper’s newest novel, The The Visitor, takes place on Earth centuries after an asteroid has turned the planet into a wasteland. Sure it sounds familiar, it’s been done countless times before (Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle’s Lucifer’s Hammer and Michael Flynn’s Firestar to name a few) but this is so much more than an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it novel. As usual with all Tepper stories, this is packed with deep, consciousness-raising material. After reading The Visitor, you will never look at religion, spirituality or prayer the same way again. Before the mysterious asteroid hits Earth, a group of scientists hide themselves in impregnable shelters deep underground and go into suspended animation. Centuries later, they awaken and try to offer guidance to their descendants in the form of the mythical Guardian Council. Tepper continues to amaze me with her work. Her writing is so vivid and fluid it’s almost poetic, yet at the same time philosophical and thought provoking. And if you enjoy this novel – which I’m sure you will – I highly recommend her earlier works Raising the Stones, Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, and The Family Tree. – Paul Goat Allen
I am reading Predicament Pit by Mike Quigley.
This is Mike's third book. The first two are non-fiction memoirs about his childhood and growing up. Predicament Pit however starts as non-fiction, then travels into a very different direction. Here is the synopsis:
American Gods (The Tenth Anniversary Edition)
It was on sale for $1.99 back in January so I took a flyer on it. Haven't read him before but definitely will in the future.
