So what'cha readin'???

[Shmear]

The English-language publication has it as Memories of My Melancholy Whores. Nice, short read IMO.

As for me, Faulkner's Absalom! Absalom!

Thank you for that.

Just finished rereading Sandman again and I'm reading

The Invisibles and Transmetropolitan are be reread



And for a real book I am reading Neal Stephensons Quicksilver I've tried it before but it is a very dense book that you really have to focus on.

Just finished rereading Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. Started Tim Butcher's Blood River this morning. Promises to be a good read.

Tis a pity, similar to Robert Ludlum novels which continue to come into print bearing his name regardless of the fact he is no longer with us. Tom Clancy is another notable example of a great author having fallen prey to promoting books in this fashion.

I'm working on Knives at Dawn: America's Quest for Culinary Gold at the Legendary Bocuse d'Or Competition by Andrew Friedman. Very cool so far. It's all about the US history in this competition, and the selection and training of the 2009 USA Team.

At least Ludlum's stuff is being written by Eric Van Lustbader, who was a pretty damn good novelist in his own right. I recently read his latest, First Daughter. This is a REALLY good book!

Tried a couple of Cussler's...just didn't quite get him. Too ... normal ... but then again I am a huge Dean Koontz/Terry Goodkind/Ted Decker fan. Decker's Circle trilogy might be one of the better one's I've read in a while.
