I just started reading the latest Sookie Stackhouse book, Dead in the Family.
Seriously. I'm not kidding. Or gay. |

Best Snuff review from goodreads.com:
"Please stop writing, Mr. Palahniuk." I hated Snuff. At the moment, I'm reading Darkness at Noon. Good stuff. Last edited by Delano; 05-06-2010 at 12:09 PM.. |

I read a few of those, and I liked them pretty well. Since I know you like the Jim Butcher Dresden series, I actually think there are some pretty good comparisons between the two. Of course, one is set in a big city urban environment, and the other is in the rural south.

I just finished "Point of Impact" the book that the movie the Shooter is based off of. There are a few parts where the movie was better than the bok, but overall the book was better than the movie.
I have also read a few more books by Steven Hunter where Bob lee Swagger is the Protagonist. They would have all been better as movies, and would have been better movies than Shooter. |

I've become addicted to this guy's alternative history. Very plausible. |

I'm on the second book of J. Gregory Keyes' Age of Unreason series. It's pretty cool revisionist history fantasy featuring a young Ben Franklin as the main hero.

Recently, I finished The Maze Runner a book in the vein of Hunger Games. It's no Hunger Games but it was a solid first entry, we'll see where it goes. Currently, I'm reading Stephen King's Dark Tower Book 1. Only a chapter into it and it's, umm, weird so far.

Actually, I should re-read it come to think of it, it's been five or six years since the seventh book, and I don't think I've read it since then. He's apparently writing an 8th novel called The Wind Through the Keyhole, set between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla (books 4 and 5), so maybe I'll wait for that. |

Not as knowledge embracing as most of you guys, but I am reading Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz.
