I really like your way of rounding up books for the year!
"If Mary Sue and Gary Sue wanted a pet, it would be Buck (the main character/dog from this book). Near the end of the book I skimmed four pages straight describing just how perfect of an animal Buck was."
I love "Call of the Wild" a lot, but this made me LOL. (Possibly because of Buck's perfection, Spitz was actually my favorite.)
Wow, those are some polar opinions on Scalzi's books! I've read his blog a little bit but haven't actually tried any fiction by him. My best friend read and disliked Zoe's Tale, but maybe that's not the best thing of his... I feel like I should maybe read something by him to see for myself...
Same best friend also very highly recommended Wool and gave it to me as a gift, and I really need to read it one of these days, especially with your additional endorsement.
Have you read the Graceling sequels? I didn't like Graceline as much as other people seem to have, but I really really liked Fire.
