Per Leo LaPorte:
Earth Abides
George R. Stewart
Considered one of the all-time great science fiction books. A disease of unparalleled destructive force has sprung up almost simultaneously in every corner of the globe, all but destroying the human race. One survivor, strangely immune to the effects of the epidemic, ventures forward to experience a world without man. Beautiful, powerful, and inspiring.

Neil Gaiman Audie Award Nominations
Neil Gaiman has the distinction of having three nominations for three different audiobooks (InterWorld, M Is for Magic and Neverwhere, all published by HarperCollins).
Neverwhere was wonderful. Neil has a perfect voice for reading aloud. SO easy to listen to. I'll have to get the other two as soon as I am able.
Finished Inkheart - very good. Next one is Inkspell, I think.
Read Mr. B. Gone - not so good. Could have been shorter, and whoopty firiggin doo on the big secret of Jakabotch Bok. Not a very satisfying read. Not like Imajica and Cold Heart Canyon.
Finally got a copy of The Scar and am busy rereading it now. Also reading Logos and also in the second of three parts of the American Gods audiobook (which I am thoroughly enjoying!).
