					<description><![CDATA[I did indeed read &lt;em&gt;Evil Guest&lt;/em&gt;, and...well, I was unimpressed.  At the end of that book I let myself off the hook for reading any new Gene Wolfe books.  He squandered all his good author capital with me, and that&#039;s with my thinking the man is a genius, and loving some of his work deeply.  I am done.

&lt;em&gt;The Sparrow&lt;/em&gt; was really interesting.  I liked it.  Jesuits in spaaaaaaaaace!  

The Charlaine Harris binge occurred during my training.  I&#039;d spent nine to five in class, typing notes like crazy and using my brain to its fullest and when I got home at night I just needed popcorn.  It&#039;s delicious popcorn, with good hooks and lots of fun, but that&#039;s all it is.  I also have a weakness for vampires.  It&#039;s a character flaw and it hasn&#039;t yet led me to &lt;em&gt;Twilight&lt;/em&gt; so I&#039;m not too worried.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, man! You&#039;ve read Evil Guest? I have that one on my TBR pile, very close to the top :) And people keep telling me I need to read the Sparrow.

Also making a note to discuss Charlainne Harris&#039;s books in the future. I haven&#039;t read any yet, but have mostly been surprised by how much I like True Blood (netflix, season 1)!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I would not be opposed to picking up the next volume of the series, particularly for a reading vacation.  I liked how tightly plotted the book was, and I liked the magic system too, except for the rpg overtones it had, which were a little distracting.  Characters engaging too, and I liked that their actions had cost and repercussions.]]></description>
