I just wanted to let you know that from the makers of Humble Indie Bundle (a great way to get some sweet PC games) currently the Humble eBook Bundle 2 is being offered here. You can name your own price for the four books offered, but if you pay a little higher than the average price you get two bonus books making six the magic number.
There is Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, this one I've heard outstanding reviews for but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. It's full of hackers and cyber terrorism and teens kicking ass so you can expect an article in the next several weeks. Boneshaker by Cherie Priest is one that I've read a little bit of and I enjoyed but unfortunately it had to be returned to the library before I finished it. It's a great steampunk/zombie/apocalypse/AU story that shows a lot of creativity. I know nothing about Spin by Robert Charles Wilson other than that it's a Sci-Fi story where the stars disappear. Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold is another one I'm not familiar with. It's a Sci-Fi love story so I have my doubts about it but I will definitely give it a chance. The two bonus novels are Just a Geek by Wil Wheton (one of my favorite people so I'm excited to see what he has to say) and the classic The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle. I have read The Last Unicorn before and I can tell you, it's infinity times better than the awful 80's cartoon, give it a chance.
Buy this bundle is great for multiple reasons. You get to name your price so if you've already gone over your literary budget for the month maybe you can squeeze in a few extra dollars that will go a long way. Also, a portion of the proceeds (I believe you get to determine how much) will go to charity. For this particular bundle it is Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child's Play, and Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America. However, it's only available for another 12 days and 6 hours according to the count down clock right now. So make your decision soon and get busy reading. I'll be reading all of these in the next couple of months so look out for my reviews and let's see how well they correspond to yours.
