Books

Superman: Last Son - Geoff Johns, Richard Donner & Adam Kubert
Good story and great art from Kubert. Donner's involvement provides a look at "what-if" he had gotten to continue his vision of Superman

All Star Superman, Vol. 1 - Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely
Morrison is an excellent writer and I love Quitely's artwork. I'm a believer.

A Wizard Abroad
The Wizards Dilemma - Diane Duane
A Wizard Alone
Wizard's Holiday
These are books 4-7 of the Young Wizards series by Duane. I had gotten the first three way back when I was the member of a book club. They provide a different view of wizardry from the Harry Potter perspective, which is very enjoyable.

The Brave and the Bold (Star Trek) Book 1&2 - Keith R. A. DeCandido
Not exactly a bold new vision of the ST universe in my opinion. The characters were not as compelling as when used in other ST novels.

On Writing - Stephen King
For new and even older writers this is an excellent read, providing information, inspiration and an old kick in the seat of the pants. King is one of my favorite writers and this book doesn't disappoint. Non-writers will enjoy his insight into the process of writing.

The Grace of God - Andy Stanley
Stanley explores the concept and quality of grace from the Old Testament through the New Testament. Grace is a hard one to wrap my mind around recently, and so I'm sure I will be re-reading this one again.

The Lost Hero - Rick Riordan
Book One of The Heroes of Olympus series. We get introduced Jason, Piper and Leo, who are new members of Camp Half-blood. Old characters from Percy Jackson are there and we're off on a new adventure. Action intensive, just like the Percy Jackson books, giving a new look at old "gods" from both Greece and Rome. A good read.
