Back to reading two books at the moment, Put Me Back on the Bike and River of Blue Fire (Tad Williams)
The second one is typical Tad Williams, i.e. he makes Tom Clancy's writing style look concise. It took me til 3/4 of the way through the first book(City of Golden Shadows) to decide if I was going to continue, and by then I had expended too much time to just give up! A quick synopsis: Set in a undefined time in the future, where people do all their communication and get all their entertainment on the internet. The lead character's younger brother falls into a coma after visiting a night club in the virtual world. She, and others go to find out what happened and who is behind it. Typically Tad Williams, there are multiple diverging threads which, I suspect, will all come together in the last 10 pages of the 4th book leaving the reader with a load of unanswered questions.
