* Kuranes makes note of "dice" book *

Currently finishing up "The Know It All" ( non-fiction ) about a guy who reads the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. It's had its moments.

Starting Stephen Woodworth's series that begins with "Through Violet Eyes" about a world much like ours that has one type of human beings that can communicate with the dead. They are used in court cases as murder witnesses etc.

Starting Kenneth Fearing's "Clark Gifford's Body"

Starting "Lush Life" by Richard Price - a master of dialogue and inner city realism

Finished a great "new" ( to me ) science fiction author's book "Escapement" by Jay Lake. I then went out and got a book of his short stories.
