I agree with most of what you say, but I just haven't felt like
starting any discussions on this list recently. The two main things
that I have previously been interested in discussing here are SF and
politics. From my point of view, the current political situation in
the US is a disaster and just too depressing to even think about.

As for science fiction, it seems to me that there has been little good
science fiction coming out lately. If only David Brin would write a
book about Tom Orley and the skiff, that would be fun to discuss here.

I normally do not read much fantasy, but with the dearth of science
fiction coming out I have been reading some fantasy novels. I recently
finished "The Desert Spear" by Peter V. Brett. That is the sequel to
"The Warded Man" (aka "The Painted Man"), which is the first book in
the series. I'm really enjoying the series so far. Peter really knows
how to build a fantasy world and tell a story. And the characters are
great, Unfortunately, the next book is not due out until 2012.
