Almost finished The Fall, got to say I dont get the title, I dont get the start of the book and some of the content doesnt make much sense but its a rollicking good read, character development was great, the individuals where more like how I would imagine real people in those situations, including one of them being a complete bastard the whole time to everyone despite being called on his shit repeatedly. Its kind of an action time travel horror, best book of its kind since I read the Time Machine, after watching the original movie adaptation. Love that film and Wells fiction.

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. Shamelessly hysterical.

The Child Thief - Brom

This is an awesome, gritty, adult retelling of the original Peter Pan story as compared to the crap Disney keeps shoving down our throats. I much prefer the original legends and stories, and Brom doesn't dissapoint. He takes a lot of the original mythology and ties Peter Pan into it seamlessly. It has many twists and is "adult" enough to hold some of our more darker minded characters attentions without it becoming too contrite.

A good book, awesome plot, and lots of cursing. It also gives a bit of history for Peter, though it is straight from Brom's imagination.

I'm reading Karen Blixen's Seven Gothic Tales and Revolutionary Road. And of course, a huge non-fiction book called The Creatores (something like art history) - very useful and very well written if you want something like a non-fiction book about art and mythology and history of ideas, written clearly and entertainingly.

I'm on a Mercedes Lackey summer reading marathon. Over the top fantasy -- my drug of choice.

The Wolves of Calla - Stephen King

That is the book in which The Dark Tower jumped the shark, in my opinion. Not as bad as the last two, but definitely worse than the first four.

Right now I'm reading The Lord of the Rings for the "god knows how many"-th time. I'm worried though, my copy of the book is starting to fall apart. Again. I swear I go through a trilogy every three years. Maybe it's because it's a single-volume edition and those tend to have binding issues because they're so thick.

Just finished Peter and the Starcatchers... it was okay, but not great. I don't know what I'm reading next; I will have to assess the "To Be Read" pile tonight.
