For those that are unaware, the series of novels take place before season 1 of 24. They are early cases/assignments of Jack Bauer's. Therefore Chappelle, Walsh, Tony, & Nina are all present. Each chapter is 1 hour of the day.

I'm also looking forward to Koontz's most recent Odd Thomas novel. The guy has changed his style over the last couple of years and in my modest opinion, it's for the better. Seems like he let's his light side show and it works.

I'm reading this too right now (Forever Odd). I should be finished with it by tonight (it's a quick read, but good). Then I might start 1776 or Skeleton Crew by Stephen King.

I'm in the middle of A Tale of Two Cities. While I've had some very bad experiences with books from the 1800s and early 1900s (Lost Horizon and The Awakening come to mind), A Tale of Two Cities isn't half bad. It's fast paced and the writing style is fairly interesting.

Did you like the book, travlr?
Between my TV and movie viewing, I haven't had the time to read a novel in over 6 months. Visiting the new (and huge) Barnes & Noble at Ala Moana Shopping Center last week, I really felt a pang of how much I miss reading. . .

It's a one week checkout from the library, so I had to put this on hold:
I started with the book-on-cd but I had to return it because someone else had it reserved, so I checked out the print version.
I've got a bunch of Patricia Briggs checked out, they all look like 'high fantasy' or something, I need to find the order to read them in.

Recently finished Jodi Picoult's The Tenth Circle, which was quite good. Very reminiscent of In the Bedroom, althoug the last quarter of the book goes a little long. The graphic novel segments are a pretty nice addition, as is the hidden message waiting to be found in the panels.
Now reading:
This is a pretty intense and eye-opening book so far (only one hundred pages or so in) and certainly an important part of US history that isn't delved into like this very often.
