New Review: Steven Brust's Teckla

ADDED a review of Steven Brust's Teckla. Three books in three days—whew! Of course, none of them were too long, but that's still a lot more reading than I'd expected to do. If you read my review of Teckla, you'll notice that I'm no longer so excited by the whole Vlad Taltos series. So I probably won't be reading the next book in the series, Taltos, for a while now. Instead, I will begin reading another short and infamous fantasy series: David Eddings's The Belgariad, starting with Pawn of Prophecy. This is supposed to be terrible stereotypical fantasy—but still lots of fun. Oh well; I feel no compulsion to actually read all five books in the series, but if it comes to that I will.

In other reading news, I just realized that tomorrow will be my fiftieth day reading A Prayer for Owen Meany. My God, this book was not worth that effort. I hope to have a review of it up some time before Christmas, if I can slog through the rest without hurling it out the window. I only have 113 pages (out of 543) left to go!
