Brock Lesnar has officially retired from MMA after suffering a TKO loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141. In just a short span of four years Lesnar conquered the world of MMA competing at the highest level and winning a world championship. Lesnar’s run in the world of MMA is nothing short of remarkable.

While my console gaming tastes lean toward action titles and first-person shooters (I’m currently obsessed with Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3 alternating with brief but always bizarre episodes of Saints Row 3), I prefer casual titles when it comes to my iPhone gaming time.

After a busy Christmas Eve with late carols and an even busier Christmas with the whole package from the morning presents under the tree (of course most for my son and then for my wife), the Orthodox Church Service and the Christmas party until midnight, I had a chance of finally opening the two very exciting books I got as sort-of Christmas presents in the mail,
Percepliquis by
Michael Sullivan and
Angelmaker by
Nick Harkaway.
As expected Percepliquis starts very strong and I am really looking forward to read this highly touted series finale.
While I have greatly
enjoyed The Gone Away World in 2008, today I mostly remember it for the long and convoluted paragraphs that somehow read funny and not clumsy.
Angelmaker
starts in a somewhat similar manner but if anything it is even funnier and wittier and I found myself rolling with laughter at the misadventures of the main hero,
Joe Spork, who wants to live a quiet life repairing the odd mechanical artifact, but an intruder cat which wants the house to itself, an assortment of mobsters related to his deceased father’s missing inheritance and an old lady with a dog that manages to reassert the supremacy of the four legs against the two legs after Joe temporarily defeats the cat, are determined not to let that happen.
It is early of course but I really expect to have a grand time reading Angelmaker and the book announces itself as a huge 2012 release. And there seems to be a doomsday device and other sff assortments too…

As I presented my favorite books of 2011 HERE, I decided to talk a little of the three most disappointing books of 2011 too. These are not the worst books I read in 2011 by any means, nor the few books which when I finished I wanted to either rip into pieces (this one) or slap myself for wasting time with them (this or this), but the books I had very high expectations – like a possible top five novel – and for various reasons came short, though as all three are series installments, I have some hopes their sequels will be much better.
There were a few other novels I did not like, but where I have quite enjoyed earlier installments and/or work by the author, like The Legacy of Kings by CS Friedman, The Sacred Band by David A. Durham, Extremis by Steve White and Charles Gannon and The White Luck Warrior by Scott Bakker but in all these cases I simply have been moving away from the respective genres (traditional fantasy with ancient evil, kings, emperors, crusades or sf with superior aliens versus the plucky humans and their allies) due to having reached a saturation point, so I cannot say they were really disappointments, but more of a “these books came too late for me” and I would have enjoyed them a few years back.
***************************************************************************
Number 1 on the list is The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. A college fantasy book in which almost nothing happened until more than half in and which essentially got really going with some 100 pages out of 900+ left. I simply cannot see how the author can finish the series and honor the implicit promises made in The Name of the Wind about what we will see in it, in only one more book especially at the glacial pace this one went.
***************************************************************************
Number 2 is Count to a Trillion by John C. Wright. I stated my motives HERE and I cannot stress how high were my expectations for this book especially after the superb recent short fiction from the author.
***************************************************************************
Number 3 is The Fallen Blade by Jon Courtenay Grimwood. As he is one of the few authors I’ve read all his novels to date, said novels number 10 or more and I enjoyed to greatly enjoyed all before this one, I was really shocked that I had major reservation about The Fallen Blade not because of vampires but because of the fragmented writing style. Read my joint review with Robert to see more detail.

Okay, geeks and geeklettes: How did we do this year? What did Santa bring?
I racked up a couple of really nice gifts: a copy of Batman: Arkham City for my XBOX 360 (My wife will be a Bat-Widow for a few weeks, it looks like.) and a licensed museum-quality replica of Herugrim, the Sword of [...]
