From the library I read Jasper Fforde's The Big Over Easy and it was great. Fforde has to be one of the brightest and most ingenious authors alive. This book like all his others is unique and fresh. How does he think these things up? A book of nursery characters written for mystery-loving adults. Who else could pull that off? Well written with developed characters (?!). A comical alternate England. Don't read it too fast or you'll miss some of its subtlety. Basically, I thought this was a hoot. Rated B+ [4 stars].
Next, a recent purchase, Harrison Squared by Darryl Gregory.
