The audio episode of Hot Sauce where I interview Dave Hill is here.

“The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green - read my review
A really good, emotional, and most of all important book. Not perfect, but better than most crap they feed to young adults.

“How to Die in Paris” by Naturi Thomas - read my review
Extremely well written, funny, and heart-breaking. I really felt like I was there.

“Music of Razors” by Cameron Rogers - read my review
Brilliant prologue, pretty good first chapter, a bit of a let down after that. I haven’t even read the second half of the book yet. Don’t know that I will.

“The Long Earth” by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
This is not a Discworld book. It’s the beginning of a new book series. I saw a panel last summer where Pratchett and Baxter talked about the book. It’s something to do with parallel dimensions. It sounds quite good. And really, as much as I love a discworld novel, Pratchett’s non-Discworld Nation was one of the best books I’ve ever read. Oh, and did I mention—part of The Long Earth takes place in Madison, WI.

“Snuff” by Terry Pratchett
Okay, this one is a Discworld novel, but it’s also a Sam Vimes novel, so bound to be a favorite. I’ll probably get it on audio, especially if Stephen Briggs reads it because Brigg’s Vimes is the Vimes I hear in my head when I read the character.

“American Gods” by Neil Gaiman
I just found out that Supernatural was inspired by just three things: Constantine, Sandman, and American Gods. (Now I find that hilarious because two of those are by Neil Gaiman and yet neither are Good Omens which I find to be ridiculously the same exact story as Supernatural.) My friend also mentioned that she plans to read it soon. I’ve got the book on my shelf right now. It would really take no effort to pull it down and start reading it. Got to finish some other books first, though.

“Tasteful Nudes” by Dave Hill
Cannot put it down. It’s so funny, I found myself laughing to tears on a train surrounded by other people like an idiot. It’s seriously that funny.

“Them” by Jon Ronson
Only set it down because I started reading “Tasteful Nudes” but I fully intend to keep reading. It’s not quite as good as the two books he wrote after this one, but it’s still really good and I’m learning a lot.

“Hell” by Robert Olen Butler
Again, I will pick it up again, but it’s not a light read by any stretch of the imagination, despite the fact that it is quite humorous.

Now, I admit, I always wondered why the only actor in Hackers who didn’t become famous was the star of the movie, but does the world really need this new show? Watch Sherlock or watch House. Bases are covered.

Er, I ran out of space on Libsyn to post today’s episode of Hot Sauce. But no worries, I’ll post it on Wednesday. In the meantime, the whole episode is up on YouTube.
