Reading List (year two)

Well, I haven't posted a hell of a lot lately on this blog, but I have been gaming steadily, and I have been reading continuously. Perhaps blogging inspiration will return this year... perhaps not. Anyway, here are the books I read this year with useful game ideas.

• The Book of the New Sun, Gene Wolfe (A+)
• Kraken, China Mieville (C-)
• Reamde, Neal Stephenson (A-)
• The Emperor of Dreams, Clark Ashton Smith (B)
• Slow Apocalypse, John Varley (B+)
• The Fuller Memorandum, Charles Stross (C)
• Light, M John Harrison (B+)
• Postsingular, Rudy Rucker (C)
• Hylozoic, Rudy Rucker (D)
• The Gunslinger, Stephen King (C+)
• Drawing of the Three, Stephen King (C-)
• The Waste Lands, Stephen King (C)

I'll try to add actual commentary to these as I go along, beyond just a dorky rating system that simply attempts to quantify how much I liked the book.
