August 2010 Reads

Here are the books completed in August.  A lot of these are part of the Gollancz SF or Fantasy Masterworks series, so there are a bunch of reviews here and elsewhere already posted or will be written in the very near future.  Some are re-reads, but most are not.  I believe four languages (English, Spanish, Serbian, Portuguese) were read this month, with at least one book for each language.  And this is the infamous month of reviewing Goodkind, Stanek, and yaoi.  Now for the reads:
