Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

I'm about two thirds of the way through Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane. And I finished The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore today.

I don't think Lehane ever really misses. His plots aren't usually all that dense but the characters are deep and compelling. And the writing is way better than it seems like it should be. Every once in a while you I read a line and think, "Where did that come from, and how did it get here?" He's a really talented writer.

Moore is not that. But he's fun and entertaining. This book was not his best effort. But it was fine. If you like Moore, you'll like this one we'll enough.

Moore is on my to-read list, will get some of his work one of these days.

Didn't know about Lehane, just looked him up, he has written some good books. Well, at least the movies based on his books were pretty good ๐Ÿ˜€ Will check out his work.

BTW this is probably one of the only two (or maybe three) non fantasy/sci-fi book mentioned in this post. It's interesting to see that majority of people here are speculative fiction fan.
