it’s just a fun list of sci-fi/fantasy authors to check out.

*Authors I've Read
BOTTOM LINE: I loved the book. It
was filled with geeky goodness, fun characters and a plot that really
doesn’t let you go. I listened to the audio version and as everyone has
already stated Wil Wheaton is so fantastic as the narrator.
Here are a few great reviews that have already expressed my thoughts…

This was one of my absolute favorite audios last year. It was totally speaking to me...the 80's were my decade, I played all those video games, watched all those movies, and listened to Rush. So glad you loved it!
Thanks for putting those up, totally forgot about them!
RPO was the book I read while walking down the street because I couldn't put it down. So glad you liked it.
Sandy - It was so excellent!
Nikki - I want to read all of the authors on this list now!
LOVED this one. And thanks for the list -- I remember thinking about how I wish I was taking notes as I was listening to it!
I so enjoyed this book, and I love the unique way you approached your review!
LOL! Love it! Scott is listening to this one now and when we were on a cartrip last weekend I heard the part where he was listing off all the authors. I had to smile as I was reading King at the moment.
Neal Stephenson is key--saw a lot of SnowCrash in this book! Also Terry Pratchett is so much fun!
Cori - This book was so much fun! I do want to check all these authors out now.
Jenners - Thanks! I'm a sucker for a good list.
Trish - Pratchett is great! I want to check out more of his Discworld series. I haven't read Stephenson yet.
