My sister seems to be adamant about getting me back to my older reading habits - first she got me interested in fantasy again by getting me started on the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. Now, she's kick starting my old interest in sci-fi with the Well of Souls series. I haven't read a decent sci-fi yarn in years; I've been on an alternate history kick (and recently, a WWI history kick). The Chalker books remind me of the old (pre-bloat) Heinlein books - fast paced, light, but interesting. The first one is a quick read, and I've just gotten some of the follow ons for Christmas, so it looks like my reading schedule is pretty full. That's not even counting the Stephenson books from last Christmas that I haven't dug into yet, or all the new history books people got me this year. All that and a gamecube...
