Edgar Rice Burroughs - Master Mind of Mars

I love the pulpiness of the Barsoom series.  What I don't quite get is the moving away from an established character, like John Carter, and throw in these other less interesting characters.  Granted Carter shows up and he normally does but why go to the trouble.  When discussing pulp just go with what works.  Take your hero, John Carter, and let him drive the stories.

Anyway this is Book 6.  Half way through the series.  What will I do when I am finished?  God I hope the movie doesn't stink...

Underworld - Awakening

Don't remember the first three, well sort of vaguely but I know the 3rd wasn't as good because there was no Kate.  So with Kate back in the picture well you just couldn't pass up Kate running around as a gun toting, latex wearing vampire.

Was it a good movie...doesn't really matter, it was just a fun no brainer.  Ain't that what a movie is suppose to be?

Greg Rucka - The Last Run

Good to read Rucka again.  Tara is a great character.  Glad to have a new mission to read.  Good surprise and interesting end game.  Thought overall the structure of the story was a bit disjointed especially the ending.  It seemed like a good buildup and then hurry I am reaching my page limit and I need to finish this and oh yeah here's the ending.

Not for sure if we will get any new Tara.  I imagine we might get some pre-stories and not for sure where Tara might go from here.  I hope there is a future for more stories...
