The sequel, This Book is Full of Spiders just came out a few months ago.

I can't say if it as good as JDatE, but it's definitely a bit more cohesive--removing the episodic style from the first one which felt a bit disjointed at times.

My semester just ended. I can read what I want for the first time in months. *giddy*

I'm going to read ASOIAF to detox, then move on to some of the texts for my mythology class next semester, to get ahead of the game. (I realize the irony, thanks.)
