Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser (really good so far, very absorbing)
Storm Front by Jim Butcher (first book in The Dresden Files, enjoying it) |

I read Neil Gaiman's wonderful Coraline. Terrific book! Imaginative. Happy. Funny. Scary Here's what Gaiman himself said about it:
"It's the strangest book I've written, it took the lingest time to write, and it's the book I'm proudest of.'" I see why he feels that way. Last edited by fantasyfan; 11-08-2012 at 09:42 AM. |

I also just bought 11/22/63 by King... seeing how it dropped below $10 in the Kindle store. But, still on book two of A Game of Thrones. BOb |

Which was an above-average issue. Now I am reading the Analog. |

I just finished Master and Margarita the other day. I admit I didn't catch half of the subtleties. It needs many rereadings, I suppose.

Right now I'm at the first pages of Memories of Hadrian (Marguerite Yourcenar). And I want to read Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, I've never read John Le Carré before. Those who did, how is the book? |

It's not an easy read, but it repays the effort it takes. I've read almost all Le Carre's books; excellent author.

And the Elizabeth Peters books. My wife has read them all, but I've somehow never gotten in to them. Time to give them another try. While we're at it, may I suggest the R. D. Wingfield Inspector Frost books? They're available in the UK on Kindle, but NOT in the US, unfortunately, or I'd buy some. I remember reading them 20 years ago and being quite pleased with them.

I'm reading The House at Tyneford by Natasha Solomons. It's kind of like Downton Abbey but with a refugee from Nazi Europe.

Going strictly by title (as I know nothing about the books nor the authors) I would suggest Monster Hunter Legion. |
