Still struggling with Emissaries From the Dead. About half way through and losing interest fast.
It's basically a Tarzan whodunit with baggage. |

![]() ![]() What she said. Vicky is my favorite heroine of the series that EP writes. But Borrower was a bit slow. You have to keep going though, there's some really great surprises that you'll miss if you don't! And yes, that's all the hint I'm giving you. |

Just finished "Airframe" by Micheal Chricton. Somewhat dated but still a very riveting technology thriller about plane manufacturing of all things. Takes a dim view of air safety and how news media are only in it for sensationalism instead of reporting the truth.

Treason is proving to be a little gem this far. It's a long read and I'm coming towards the final 20% ....

Next: One from the October 2010 webcription I recently bought. Fangs for the Mammaries edited by Esther Friesner. A collection of short stories on te theme of vampires, with a bit of humour thrown in. I really liked her series of books that started with Chicks in Chainmail (& I hope the first one of those makes it to webscriptions eventually). I think that this will be just the sort of light relief I could do with after the rather portentous Red Rabbit. BTW, if you're not signed up at webscription.net, you might be able to get the October 2011 webscription for free by joining my gift webscription chain over in the Freebies forum.

I bought Cormack McCarthy's Blood Meridian some time ago and even started to read it, but somehow got sidetracked repeatedly. Now I'm ready for it and decided to re-start from the beginning. Wonderful book so far. Feels a bit like coming up for air after diving in a see of everyday OK writing.

I've started All the Pretty Horses but have tabled it for a bit...
He's a great writer. |

As long as you don't ride it hard and put it away wet... you should be golden.

As far as the HHGTTG series goes, I suggest reading the books and listening to the radio dramas by the BBC. The BBC radio dramas are very good. Way better then an audiobook read.

I don't listen to audiobooks in the car. The problem is that I'm not about to devote the concentration needed to fully get the book. So to me, that's a bad idea. I'd rather pay attention to my driving. Just do me a favor, if you are listening to audiobooks in the car, please do not drive anyplace near me or anyone else I know.
