Just started Riptide by Preston & Child. Not exactly high literature, but I do enjoy a bit of light reading now and then. Plus it's (kind of) about pirates!

I just finished 'Idoru' by William Gibson and 'Tea From an Empty Cup' by Pat Cadigan. They were both all right, nothing life-changing, though.

Robert B Parker – Valediction

Rex Stout – Red Threads update, this is an extremely boring book. While hoping for something in the vein of Lawrence Sanders Deadly Sin series:shock:, this book is just BORING. Can’t win em all.

"20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill.

He has been pegged as a horror writer but his stuff is not just gratuitous, blunt gore. His first book, "Heart Shaped Box", is one of the only books I've ever read that creeped me out in such a brilliant way that it really did just stay in my head. I think he's just wonderful.

I tend to read several books at a time.

Right now, among other things, I'm reading "Sartre For Beginners" and "The Disappointment Artist: Essays by Jonathan Lethem"

Lethem is a subtle genius! :)

"The Romanov Prophecy" by Steve Berry and a book on espionage. The Steve Berry book is a recommendation from a friend so I don't know how that'll turn out. The espionage book, on the other hand, will probably make me paranoid.

I've also finished the books from the "Iron Fey" series by Julie Kagawa and the last Artemis Fowl novel.

I thought The Romanov Prophecy was terrible, thealchemist. YMMV, of course, but there was a distinct lack of actual historical mystery-solving.

I just started Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. A colleague who has studied philosophy has given me a copy of it. It is interesting so far.

Keep coming back to a book called Swiftly by Adam Roberts, bought it impulsively and cheaply but its really well written, set in the Gullivers Travels universe.
