I am officially back stateside, and in the last 24 hours I have successfully fixed the water softener, shoveled a fine collection of oak logs, leaves, live plants, and raccoon shit off the roof, made bank tutoring o-chem, and taught the Verizon employee how to connect to their own 4G network. I was unaware the name of their APN was such a secret. Also, that 4 tiers of escalation would be so damn useless. I ended up guessing the name like some sort of movie cracking and then went back and made the guy write it down because I can't be the only person ever to have that problem and it was seriously a 10 second fix. See also: was feeling smug.
I also got a lot of reading done in the past month, apparently. Finished The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Name of the Wind, Matched, Graceling, Sapphique, Assassin's Apprentice, the first Circle of Magic book, and started a bunch of others.
If we're running out of discussion ideas, another book recommendation/rant/rambling thoughts thread might be fun.
Friends still have my MS and are being slow readers and I can't bug them about it because they have real work to do. Argh. I'm planning to cover my office in sticky notes and reorder some scenes that way while I wait on them.

Robin Hobb - The Farseer Trilogy
I just finished the Farseer Trilogy, which starts with Assassin's Apprentice. I enjoyed it, and thought there were a lot of similarities there. Starts with the protagonist as a parent-less child who has some untapped magical abilities, told from the perspective of the main character looking back and telling his story as he grows up.
In no particular order:
If you like sci-fi at all, I recommend John Scalzi's series that starts with "Old Man's War."
I haven't read them, but I've heard good things about Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy and Tad Williams' Otherland series.
Trudi Canavan's Black Magician Trilogy fits this criteria, and Robin Hobb's The Farseer series.
Assassin's Apprentice If you like fantasy books this one is great. There is a lot of magic and intrigue.
The Farseer Trilogy Book 1, Book 2, Book 3 Total Cost $17.97
And the Mountains Echoed $10.99
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy $10.00 & The Hobbit $6.98
All of the above books are from ebooks over $10
The Threshold Child book 2 $2.99 on $5-$10 ebooks list
Just to belabor the point, I've noticed a huge difference in the words I use in everyday speech when I'm reading fantasy novels or other fiction. Don't worry about books they make you read in English classes, any modern non-YA fiction will do.
If you like fantasy, I recommend Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice and the other books in the series.

On special. Couple of bucks atm
This would be a good choice. Her Farseer Trilogy, starting with Assassin's Apprentice is about a royal bastard training to be an assassin. It's a slow start, but it picks up.
