Another web site review

The site I am looking at today is Another Book. This site has a decent list of authors. Books are listed by book, author, series, realms and creatures. Reviews are written by readers and you can leave comments. Unfortunately there are a number of books that have no reviews. There were also some notable authors missing from the list. While the idea of creating a web page about books by using a book like background sounds nice it doesn't really work well on this site. All of the lists are on one side only with what is basically a blank page on the left. This makes for a rather bland page. All in all I think there are much better pages out there that provide more information in a more interesting way.

Past summer reading

I spent this summer reading all six of L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Corean Chronicles series. I had previously read the majority of his Saga of Recluse novels and found I enjoyed his mixing of Fantasy with Science Fiction. He doesn't disappoint with the Corean series. As with the Recluse novels he starts with the basic fantasy novel and then slowly adds science fiction elements almost as teasers. As with the the Recluse novels the novels are not in chronological order. The first three novels deal with the "present" and the last three deal with the events alluded to in the first three books as the ancient past. Many times writers try to use a surprise ending for the shock value but the ending to this series gives a surprise that really works. I would definitely recommend this series whether your into Fantasy or Sci-fi you won't be disappointed.
