I just started reading the latest Sookie Stackhouse book, Dead in the Family.

Seriously.

I'm not kidding.

I hated Snuff.

At the moment, I'm reading Darkness at Noon. Good stuff.

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.

Ironically, they're both books that I started to read because I watched them on TV and then discovered (much to my surprise...) that both series of novels are really quite good.

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'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.

I'll be interested to see your thoughts.



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.

I really liked that series, although it tends to wander towards the end. As King is wont to do...

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.

Which struck me as odd, because Mistborn is told primarily from the perspective of a heroine, so it's not like a woman's perspective is something he hasn't done before.

But, all that said, it wasn't bad. It's pushing the series forward, and there's a clear sense for the first time in the Wheel of Time that the end is coming.
Towers of Midnight release date was made official today, October 26th of this year. It's drawing to a close.
