Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane.

It is a direct sequel to Gone Baby, Gone which is my favorite of the Patrick and Angie novels written.
 
Darkness under the Sun ~ Dean Koontz
 
Just finished Mary Shelley's Frankenstein a second time for schoolwork (did this in school back in my O'Levels, not surprised to do it again now). I have to say, it's really not as juvenile as most teachers try to place it. I have a new-found respect for anxiety now :)

Started reading John Grisham's The Innocent Man tonight. His objective prose style says a lot of his Hemingway influences. It's a very fast and engrossing read by the way, with all the seriousness of a documentary (hey I do like it! Otherwise I wouldn't be reading it!)
 
My Name is Memory - Ann Brashares

i literally don't think i could put this down. i was reading it well late into last night when i should've been in bed, i read it every free moment i had at work today, and ive been reading it since i've been home while watching the superbowl.
 
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut

Walks the line between funny and sad in the best kind of way. I actually enjoyed it more than Slaughterhouse-Five.
 
Wild Cards Volume 3: Joker’s Wild edited by George R. R. Martin
Stranger and Friend by Hortense Powdermaker
War, Women, and Druids by Philip Freeman
 
Unpeople: Britain's Secret Human Rights Abuses - Mark Curtis
 
Just finished Pronto by Elmore Leonard. Started on Riding the Rap last night. Getting my Raylan Givens fix.
 
The Book Thief by Markus Suzak, quite an interesting read.
 
The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla, by Tim Swartz. Intriguing stuff for sure.
 
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut

Walks the line between funny and sad in the best kind of way. I actually enjoyed it more than Slaughterhouse-Five.

I have been wanting to read that one for a long time. Slaughterhouse Five is easily one of the best novels I have ever read. My hopes are high for Mother Night!
 
I recently finished Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton. I was kinda drawn to "I don't date vampires, I kill them" on the back cover but I didn't really get into it. It was Ok, I didn't want to stop reading it, but it wasn't the best thing I've read. I've started the second one, The Laughing Corpse, simply because I had it and I wanted to give Hamilton another chance to impress. In the first chapter she repeated a lot of information that was in the first book, and it was almost verbatim.

Before Hamilton's books, the last book that I really enjoyed was Frostbitten by Kelley Armstong.
 
Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist (author of Let the Right One In)
 
Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon

Excellent expansion on the 'verse, in my opinion.

The Anita Blake books get better as they go along, lol. :p

I just finished Mania by Craig Larson. :up: Got it as a free eBook and it was riveting.
