Got mine, and read it this afternoon. All of it. I wasn’t planning to even start it today, but I saw one page while I was checking that it had downloaded properly, and it hooked me..

I just got the link to John Scalzi’s book. Three formats this time: PDF, HTML & Mobi.

The sign-up has been a bit erratic. It’s been overloaded on occasion to the point where it wasn’t working at all; and when I signed up last week, I think it took three days before I got the email acknowledgement. But I did get my link to a DRM-free pdf of Mistborn shortly after that. I’ve spent too much time staring at my monitor for other purposes this week to try reading it, though.

The first free book is Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn, a fantasy with romantic elements. It was quite good.

I think the next free book is Scalzi’s Old Man’s War, which is a fun, fast-paced space opera. IIRC it’s written in first person, a quite unreliable POV (i.e. don’t think Scalzi’s politics are represented in this book). He’s a reliably entertaining author.

I also read Scalzi’s blog every day. Today’s rant on Andrew Burt, who wants to be SFWA’s next president, is priceless. And yeah, his writeup of his visit to the Creation Museum and the contest for funniest captions for his pics was loads of fun.

Hey Robin, at least they got one thing right: It’s always the mans fault. ;D

LOL! I guess I should be grateful they didn’t blame it all on Eve — like everyone else does. Although I know there’s an insult to Eve built in there, too (i.e. she was Adam’s little head), so . . .
