By registering on Tor’s website, you can receive emails containing free digital science fiction and fantasy books. The first book is going to be Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire (a rather good book), and it will be followed by Old Man’s War by John Scalzi. After that, they will send more books but the site does not say what they are.

I closed the poll a day early since I’m done with Neverwhere so it’s time to start reading the next book, which will be William Gibson’s Neuromancer. I’m curious about this one since it’s become a cyberpunk classic, but from what I’ve heard, I get the impression that it’s more of an “important” book than a “good” book.

I finished Mistborn: The Final Empire this afternoon, so I should have a review of it up in the next couple of days. Because of this, I closed the poll and put up a few one. The winner of the previous one was Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, so that will be up next. If The Healthy Dead were to win, I would also reread and review the first Malazan novella by Steven Erikson, Blood Follows.

Feel free to leave suggestions not on that list as comments here and if enough people want me to read something else, I may be convinced to do so (as long as it’s something I actually have – I don’t think I should buy any more books right now since I got a bunch around Christmas and made two […]
