At any given time, I am probably reading one book in paper form, another as an audio book, and another on an e-reader. I also keep an anthology or collection in my car, for those long waits. My average rating is between 3 and 4, because I try to seek out good books and authors. One goal is to read all the SF award winners and SF Masterworks. See my profile at Worlds Without End.
Finally, the "social media" info - I am a long-time reader, proud to have completed several summer reading programs as a kid. I recall reading more than 50 books one summer. When I'm not reading, you might find me gaming (board and role play) or working, either as a baseball umpire or with software.

Read this in July 2008, shortly after it came out, before the whole Twilight mania took off. Decent premise about an alien invasion of parasites and a few who resist the effects. Bizarre love triangle between human, parasite, and the human still fighting the parasite - the latter two in the same body. Unlike other parasite invasions, these parasites live to follow the rules, which was strange. Liked it, didn't love it, wasn't compelled to read Twilight.
