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.

Thanks for all of the recommendations, gents.

Currently re-reading my Hunter S Thompson collection.

Really? I thought it was the best ending for a King novel in forever.



Is this a good series? I actually have a bunch of the books but haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

I like it so far.

Just finished Cold Days. Really good, one of the best Dresden books so far I think.

Hitting up B&N today.

Going to pick up Patient Zero.

just finished Gone Girl.. by Gillian Flynn

Starting Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson

This book is hilareous. Quotes like "I am not anti-social, I'm just not user-friendly."

I am about 1/3 of the way through "American Gods" but got bored so switched over to re-read "The Hobbit" after seeing the movie.

Reading Aztec by Gary Jennings. Pretty danged enjoyable.

I liked that one. Big zombie fan myself..

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.

You are getting bored with "American Gods"?

Loved that book.

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.
