Why? I might be all that stands between the publishing industry and their downfall! You know what kind of pressure that puts on a soul?

Someone needs to schedule an intervention for Mr Kiesche.

EXISTENCE by David Brin – I’ve never before read Brin and I’ve been leaning towards SF rather than Fantasy lately

FURTHER: BEYOND THE THRESHOLD looks to be a fun space-opera from the always entertaining Chris Roberson

The Summer of Abrham will soon begin – CALIBAN’S WARY and THE KING’S BLOOD, plus still unread is THE LONG PRICE QUARTET

My ARC of Mark Lawrence’s KING OF THORNS, follow up to the debut that blew me away last year

I also really want to dive into one of the three PATHFINDER tie-ins on the Mountain

Then there’s all the goodies on my kindle, but that’s a different kettle of fish altogether

Kafkaesque is solid, but it should have included Bruno Schulz, Michael Cisco, and a host of others.

I liked Kafkaesque a lot, and I’m surprised you haven’t already read it, John. But again, TBR piles…

Ah, it looks like my photo of the top of my TBR pile did not make it into the Mind Meld, so I am posting it over on my blog: http://jhstevens.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/for-love-of-books-to-be-read/

I need to get a copy of KAFKAESQUE. And MR. FOX is on my large TBR pile. THREE MESSAGES sounds VERY intriguing.

I have so many piles it’s getting a bit out of control! But my *immediate* TBR pile has on it:
* “Kafkaesque” ed. James Patrick Kelly & John Kessel
* “Mr. Fox” by Helen Oyeyemi
* Three Messages and A Warning (Contemporary Mexican SciFi Stories)
* “How to Recognize A Demon has Become Your Friend” by Linda Addison
* “Eternity and Other Stories” by Lucius Shepard

Do I need to make a larger TBR pile? (looks mournfully at the shortness of his entry in the mind meld)

So much great stuff in my TBR pile, but I’m going to go with YEAR ZERO by Rob Reid. It’s a science fiction story set in the music industry. Right up my alley.
