I should be finished by tomorrow afternoon.

First of all, Alex Cross's Trial was a horrible book, so skip it. I honestly think that James Patterson sold the rights to the name "Alex Cross" for use in the title, and had nothing else to do with the book. Alex Cross is in the book for two pages (which is the prologue I believe), and has nothing else to do with it. With another Alex Cross book coming out in a couple of months, this was no doubt just a cash grab.
I saw this at Costco and picked it up on a whim. I've read the first book in the series, but none of the others, so while I might miss some things, for the most part I don't think that it will matter.

Having read all of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, I'm now working my way through the similar
Nightside
novels of Simon R. Green. I like them for the most part, especially the variety of unique magickal characters (unique as in there's only one of them in the Nightside universe). Only thing I don't like is that it seems like
Still, they're fun enough and fast enough, and there's enough other interesting stuff in the universe (the Lamentation, for example) that I can usually deal with that.

I checked out My Word Is My Bond: A Memoir by Roger Moore from the library, so that's next up for me. After that, I just found Sideways by Rex Pickett at Half Price Books, and I'm excited to finally get to read it.
