I love medical fiction and he's my favorite author. My favorite was the fertility clinic one and the one that starts with the eye in the refrigerator. The food poisoning one was my most hated because it was a non-ending... the narrative just stopped, but the story didn't. Man, was I pissed I've read quite a few of his books. I read Marker and actually liked it quite a bit The food poisoning one was the only one I haven't really liked. I haven't read 18, I'd say more like 10. The cloning one was chilly
I have a problem: I start 10X the amount of books I finish... sigh

Mutation was the one I referred to about the "cloning one" ... I guess not really cloning but manipulating. That one was indeed excellent and chilling.
My third favorite author is Tess Gerritsen I've only read about three of hers, though. I really need to buckle down and start reading It takes a lot of hold down my interest. I used to think that I just have trouble concentrating but if it's a good book, I finish it. I read every single Harry Potter book but couldn't get through The Hobbit. So I start I think it's even about 20 books for every one I actually read.

I start so many books and never finish them....
so I'm sticking with Amazon/Kindle for book purchases, and will make myself read every book I purchase.
Starting with:
I'll probably get Tess Gerritsen's new book next.
I like Amazon saving the book for eternity without me having to worry about it. And I plan to stick with the Kindle and Kindle successors as my reader of choice.
I'm not that far in (location 200 of 9000) but I found a sentence I really liked (and it doesn't happen often that I go "that was a really cool sentence.")

Just finished this weekend. It was the first book in a long time that I read in one day. Heartbreakingly good from start to finish. I love stories that are about the human aspect of war. Even better than The Kite Runner, IMO.
Now I'm reading..
So far it's nothing short of brilliant.

Reading:
After Bush, by Timothy Lynch and Robert Singh
Dangerous Nation, by Robert Kagan
occasionally The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
(I've been on a foreign policy kick for a while.)
On tap:
Discourses on Livy, by Niccolo Machiavelli
The Prince, by the same
The Bible, by who the fuck knows?
(The two testaments of the last are strikingly similar to the first two.)

It's essentially Vincent presenting evidence as to how Bush could and should be charged and prosecuted for first degree murder once he leaves office. It He also argues against the possible defenses Bush would use if he were to stand trial.
I think it's a pretty damn important book and I hope someone takes Mr. Bugliosi suggestion.
