Here comes Embassytown by China Mieville!
Awards are not important though. Not really. People reading great work is what’s important. Therefore, people should read Embassytown and here is a list of reviews and video interviews to do the convincing for me!

I broke down and bought Grand Theft Auto IV a few months ago when I was in the mood for some open-world mayhem, only to be sorely disappointed. Why was I driving some guy’s girlfriend around? And why do I have an angry, a-hole boss? Why am I some low level schmo, and why can’t I customize my character, beyond just a couple of wardrobe changes? Where was the fun? Well, I figured out a few weeks ago. All of the fun that I was expecting can be found in Saints Row the Third.
Like most online booksellers, Amazon gives their customers the ability to write reviews. This is a good thing. People often like getting feedback from people who are not biased (the biased being publishers, authors, agents, etc.) and its that feedback that helps someone decide whether or not to buy the book.

One of the new additions I’ve installed on the Terry Brooks website is the ability to follow his reviews on Goodreads. He gets asked what he’s reading all of the time and we thought it would be a great thing to start posting what he’s reading along with his reviews.
As the twelfth and thirteenth books Terry has reviewed on Goodreads, this month he wants to feature Incarceron and Sapphique by Catherine Fisher! Here’s what he had to say about them!

The mighty Thor has stormed the box office.
The new movie from Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios, which drew in $66M last weekend, deserves it. Put simply, it went beyond my expectations. It is far from perfect but is a great origin and introduction to the God of Thunder—and more importantly what is to come in 2012.

Today is a milestone in comic book history.
Because Action Comics #900 hits stands at fine comic book stores around the world. It is the first comic book to reach #900 issues. It didn’t happen by chance. Action Comics has been continuously published since 1938, following the exploits of Superman right from the beginning.
DC Comics sent me a copy to review. Here are my thoughts!

Whenever you’ve got a protagonist named “Babydoll” you should probably already know you’re in for a bumpy ride, but throw in a gaggle of girls from what might be a Comic Con themed cathouse, a leaden script full of groan-out-loud cliches and a kitschy soundtrack apparently lifted from unseen American Idol outtakes – don’t get me started on what they did with The Pixie’s “Where is My Mind” – and you’ve got a full-on train wreck.
A few weeks ago, I received an advanced reading copy of the final book in Malazan, The Crippled God. I didn’t have time to read it, mostly because it would require me to read the preceding novels, something I plan on tackling over the summer.
As an avid fan of the series, I knew my friend Eric would love the chance to review the book. Here is that review!
