presents!

i'm so happy right now. i just read the synopsis of book 1 of the otherland series - it's at least 4 books, according to the inside cover of book 2 :) - included with book 2. the first book was so great. i really feel like a kid at christmas. that's how good it is. i only picked it up because i was so damn bored and needed a new book to read and book 2 was a bargain book in hardcover, so i got that and book 1. such a great find. i haven't felt this good about a series in a long time. to give you an idea of how engaging it is, i got them on thursday around 10pm, and i'm starting book 2 now. and they're LONG! my problem with good books is that i wish they lasted longer. book 1 was over 700 pages. oh frabjous joy, or some such.

i could go on and on, but who wants that? let me just say, if you like fantasy, get it. if you like the cyberpunk genre, get it. if you like both, then you probably don't have much of a social life, so why aren't you getting it yet? it's also got other cool stuff, like online gaming and egyptian gods and vastly different worlds.

so good. i'm really happy. i'm going to savor this feeling for a while before i really start book 2.
