A fantasy classic but not for me.  Decent but could never completely lose myself in this one.

Decent three part short story sci-fi detective-ish series.  The three stories totalled about a full novel so I'm recording them here as one entry.

Book 7 and the final entry in the Mountain Man series.  A solid, feel good ending and I'm glad I worked my way through this.  But I really preferred books 1 & 2, where Gus is a drunk asshole fumbling his way through the apocalypse.  The remaining 5 books were much more video game progressions (defeat minor boss, move onto main boss, then go to next location and repeat).

Enjoyed this series quite a bit overall, but those first two books were just so much drunken fun.  Good stull.

I also read the short story "The Hospital" which was ok but not amazing.  Way too short to bother recording as a separate blog entry.

Book Six of the Mountain Man series.  Didn't like this one as much as the others (bit of a video game progression feeling to it), but still a pretty damn fun continuation of this series. I also thought it was the last but when Googling this book I found there is a 7th.  I'll read it.

Mountain Man book 4, this one I was able to get from the public library which was nice.  Enjoyed this one a lot.  Gus as central point of the story, but new characters, and a sweet reunion at the end.  Good stuff.

Book three of the Mountain Man series and the final in the omnibus I purchased from Audible.  Pretty good, though I did miss the guys focus, it was nice to have resolution on a few other storylines.
