What are you reading? (July 2009)

Finished Night rather quickly (very short book but very powerful, IMO) so next up is probably:

Excited that I'm on the final book :)

This is my first time reading through the series and I am loving it. Hopefully this book will be a fitting finale.

If a movie ever gets made of it, I'm sure everyone will start reading this. . .

I've been looking for this. Stephen King had it on his suggested summer reading list.

Finished it this morning, it's the perfect summer reading book. Reads very quick, like a classic Le Carre novel but modern for the post Bourne-era, with a very likeable lead character. I can't recommend it enough.

Now I just started . . .

Nobody else picked it as probably the most enjoyable on the Top fiction list in Book Sheep. :(

Re: What are you reading? (July 2009)

From what I read on the list, I preferred The Scarecrow over The Strain.

Still picking away at the Bruce Campbell book, but just finished:

haha awesome book! have u read his second book yet?

Re: What are you reading? (July 2009)

Space Merchants is awesome. I really didn't like Wolfbane, another Pohl/Kornbluth collaboration, but Space Merchants and the Merchants War are both great. Pohl is one of my favorites, and Kornbluth's career )and life) were way too short.

Currently:

Death Masks, 4th in Harry dresden series
Treason, Orson Scott Card
