    An impressive list, that’s more than 3 books a week!!

    Accelerando is one of my favorite SF books of the past decade. A lot of the other books I’ve either read or are on my “to read soon” list. I’ve resisted reading the Walking Dead books so I’ll be surprised by the twists and turns in the TV series.
