On a different note, Masters has been on my mind lately mainly because the last time it was awarded was in December. I've sort of been expecting to see it granted this month. Did I perhaps miss anything along the way?

At the risk of being that guy who is always last to stop using a meme, but here is the next best light and fun book (after princess bride). I highly recommend The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold. Its SF, but it has the best character development I have ever read. Miles Vorkosigan is an awesome character with flaws, brilliance, insecurities, bravado, confidence, and ostracizing impairment, a powerful family. etc. All of the various character traits are well developed and all together make a reckless Hero you can't help but love

Here is the first 5 chapters. http://www.baen.com/Chapters/067172066X/067172066X.htm
Seconded. They are light, and fun, but I've stayed up till 3am with books in that series before.

I'll go in for any genre as long as it's well written. I'm a sci-fi nerd anyway.

I'm actually giving my first CSATS fail (other than a couple that had to cut cloth) Can't believe this person is inside another human being with robot claws and sharp things....
I fail those butchers all the time. I imagine how I am going to feel when i wake up if that had been my body they were pin cushioning.

Nope, still waiting. :(

I'm sure I've probably mentioned this before, but if you like Buffy and the Supernatural TV shows, you really might enjoy the Sandman Slim novels, please check them out.

I wouldn't even focus on when it happens. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

I expect my wifes account with 11k hits done to get it before mine.
