Another I had forgotten, seems like a new book is overue, is EE Knight's Vampire Earth series.

Just looked it up, new one in April, 10th book in the series: http://www.amazon.com/Appalachian-Ov.../dp/0451414446

It's a post-apocalyptic series, set in the not-too-distant future after an alien race called the Kurians has taken over in the aftermath of a series of events (plagues, earthquakes, nuclear war - all orchestrated by them). They basically live on the life energy of other creatures, hence the Vampire part.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Fantasy about a young group of thieves. Lots of humor, very adult despite involving kids. Like it a lot so far.

Yeah. I'm surprised too as I loved Anansi Boys. I'm just having a hard time getting into this one.

Just finished "Grendal" By John Gardner.
Awesome book. Suprised I never heard of it before.

Grendel is a 1971 parallel novel by American author John Gardner. It is a retelling of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf from the perspective of the antagonist, Grendel. The novel deals with finding meaning in the world, the power of literature and myth, and the nature of good and evil.
