The Game of Kings
Vallista
Hawk
Tiassa
The Black Company in Middle Earth
Penric's Mission
Nine Princes in Amber
One Night in the Lonesome October
Carpetbaggers
My Own Kind of Freedom
Penric's Fox
Rust by Example
Midnight Never Come
8 of those are re-reads.
It seems like a lot for 16 days, but none of them are that long; Dunnett is probably the longest, 530 pages in my trade paperback. The two Penrics are novellas, and the Brusts are on the short end, both the Vlad novels and the Firefly fanfic.
Yes, I count sufficiently long fanfics as books. Also the amalgam of web pages that Rust by Example is.
It's a bit misleading: I *finished* Game of Kings on the 14th, I did the bulk of the reading before then. OTOH I'm most of the way through Queen's Play, so it balances out.

Like you, every or almost every book after Issola hasn't grabbed me as strongly, but I think I at least really liked them. Currently I merely like Vallista.
The limited interaction with others definitely is not helping.
If Brust is sticking with his plan to finish up the series soon (Taltos, one for each house, and a closing book?), I wonder if that is a bit of a strait-jacket on his creativity.
