I finished reading The Thousand Orcs in one day.
It was pretty good, but not his best work. For the most part, I thought the characters just whined about how they're starting to reach middle-age. Of course, the battle at the end was cool.
It gave me a couple ideas for mini-quests (not imitating the book, just some insights into the behaviour of certain monsters). The campaign I'm DM'ing right now is heading into frost giant territory. :O
