ADDED a review of RA Macavoy's Tea with the Black Dragon. This book was awful.

Since I will be going on vacation soon, I wanted to bring along some thick books that need a lot of time to read. So I've decided on at least three massive tomes: William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Don DeLillo's Underworld, and Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon (assuming I can find a place to check that out). I will also probably try to read Neil Gaiman's American Gods and even Lois McMaster Bujold's Curse of Chalion as a way of rounding out my knowledge of this year's Hugo nominees for best novel.

Before that, though, I plan to begin reading CS Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy, a series that has been on my Books I Plan to Read list for a while. It's supposed to be excellent dark fantasy, along the lines of George RR Martin. But I'll know within a day or so if it's worth reading.
