Before this I had read Consider Phlebas and The Player of Games and thought they were magnificent.

Tell us how you go with this one.

I'll have to get back to you on this one... a made a dreaded trip to the library to pick up The Monstrumologist for my daughter based on someone's post here and I ended up picking up a few paper books there.

I found 'Distant Thunders by Taylor Anderson. The 4th book in The Destroyermen series. It's good if you like the 'something military from Earth goes somewhere/somewhen else' type of stories. A WWII destroyer in this case.

Also found the 2nd book by Ari Marmell on the New section. It looked good so I went back and found the first book... The Conqueror's Shadow. Supposed to be darkish fantasy. We'll see.

I've really enjoyed the Destroyermen series. Glad to see someone else does too.

I'm not a hardcore fantasy person either. I get confused easily too.

Just started The Canon by Natalie Angier

Excellent so far (on a chapter or so in).

Bought a used p-book and then added the ebook.

I finished Flaming Dove - great story but the writing wasn't so great. I've just started Dust by Arthur Slade.

They've created a kind of parallel book within the book by sharing the email exchanges between the two of them, as they fling japes, zingers, and even the occasional compliment back and forth as they write "Heads You Lose." And you thought murder was tough.
So, now I have to check out her Spellman Files.

Yes — Partners in Crime by Agatha Christie, her eleventh book.
A nice collection of short mysteries with a thin overall plot. Lots of references to other fictional detectives. Starring Tommy and Tuppence.

Next: What Distant Deeps by David Drake

The latest in his Lt. Leary series.

Oooh - hope you like Consider Phlebas. I thought it was a great read.

It was very, very good. I really love how King is able to spin threads and bring them together. The first story might've been the best of the lot, in my opinion.

Thanks Jack. I have finished now, and wholeheartedly agree. More like 4 novellas than short-stories, and each one excellent. King's writing improves with every book.

Just started Field Gray by Philip Kerr. It's historical crime noir -- former Berlin detective Bernie Gunther has to come clean about his role in WWII, and the story switches between the 1940s and 1950s. I like it so far. Luckily it's better than his last one.
