I understand the feeling but all indications suggest that The Hose is actually a fairly good book.

Except that it was written by Stephenie Meyer.
I have been more and more engrossed in Rothfuss. The writing is definitely excellent and his character and plot development very realistic, almost reminiscent of Abercrombie's First Law series. Usually very subtle or small amounts of humor, which I appreciate, and left me completely unprepared for the Elodin chapter. I can usually smell anticlimax from a mile away, but that caught me completely off-guard and was hilarious. Elodin instantly became my favorite.
I also noted the similarity between "Elodin" and "Elohim" (ancient Hebrew word for god, something like "divine powers").
I have to give credit where credit is due: the host is actually a fairly well written book. I can hardly believe stephanie meyer wrote it.
I hear the Black Company books are rather good, and have been meaning to read one. They're a science fiction and fantasy mix from what I gather, and all the books are both part of a series and standalone stories.
Not sure what the first book was called or who wrote them though. :P
Glen Cook and they are decent.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Though extremely smurfed, this is actually a really, really funny book.
Poppy Z. Brite is wicked awesome if homosexuality doesn't bother you.
The Church of Dead Girls by Stephen Dobyns was a really good one, too.
It seems like whenever I go to list things that I like, my brain goes dead. That's all I got for you at the moment.

I got my Nook case in, and it looks really great. I'll be quite comfortable lugging my Nook around everywhere with it.
I finished Rothfuss, and I think my next step will be Scott Lynch. But I also have an urge to reread Anathem for the first time. Oh well, one of those two.
