Haven't done one of these in a while... still have been reading, but sometimes was rereading and sometimes just too lazy to write them up. Maybe will do some eventually.

Keep up with Dark Tower series if you can. It gets better as it goes along. I think I almost missed a class because I couldn't put down the last book in the series. I had a crying fest when the series ended, and if you know me at all, you'd know that it's *very* rare for a writer to have that much power over my emotions.
As for Greg Bear, interesting concepts but the stories need something to be desired. Good character-creation fodder though.
Good reads :)

Yeah, that's my general impression of Bear as well - I'm mostly reading it because it won a Nebula and I'm on my quest to read every Hugo or Nebula winning novel. It's entertaining so far but mostly in terms of the ideas and science geekery, although it's better than some of the previous Bear books I've read.
