Soup du jour: Link Soup
Posted August 6, 2011
on:Eh, I finished one book this morning and am about a third of the way through another one. No reviews even close to be being ready to post, let alone even started. And I got a busy crazy blog-on-fire week coming up (more on that later, I promise).
Here’s some delicious link soup for you. Tastes like Epic.

Awesome article on Jeff Vandermeer’s Ambergris series, focusing on City of Saints and Madmen.
Neat article/video on blood & guts CGI in HBO’s Game of Thrones (no fake blood was harmed in the making of this show).
Love fest for Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series. Tastes like blood and guts. . .
My buddy Jim got me hooked on Mercury Men, a noirish SF alien invasion 7 minutes per episode webshow on Hulu. Go check it out.

I really enjoyed reading Rothfuss’ posts the other day about SDCC. His blog is always entertaining and I need to make it a habit to check it out on a consistent basis rather than just hitting it haphazardly.
And of course you saw that I did my part voting on the NPR site and airing my feelings about the poll in general. Really looking forward to seeing what makes the Top 10 when the dust settles on the voting.
Really wish I was able to actually read all of the LOTR books with you all, but I do look forward to participating in the discussions all the same and will get to some of the books with you for certain.
