Excited about books

Do you get excited when a new book appears from an author you like? As a writer, I certainly hope so. As a reader, I still do.

Today's mail brought me an order from the UK: Richard Morgan's newest, Black Man. If you don't already read him, pick up Altered Carbon and give it a go. It's dark, noirish SF/mystery, and I quite enjoy it.

Tomorrow's mail will, I hope, provide my copy of Barry Eisler's latest, Requiem for an Assassin. I'm a sucker for good assassin books, and Eisler's John Rain novels may be the best of the genre currently appearing.

I'm looking forward to reading both of these new books and recommend these writers.
