Clive Cussler - Black Wind.
Re-reading as I think it's one of the best out of the AMAZING Oregon Files. Better than Dirk Pitt.

Never read it, but Heart-Shaped Box is excellent. I could tell it was Stephen King's son without being told.
I'm reading Lullaby by Palahniuk for the second time. Not his best but still good.
Just finished reading:
Dying to Cross (Jorge Ramos). Intense reading, a true story about what happened when sixty (or possibly more) migrants were placed into a refrigerated truck with the A/C turned off and they were driven several hundred miles across Texas.

Married Lovers (Jackie Collins)

Just got finished reading The Lonely Polygamist It was actually alot better then I thought it would be.
Currently finishing up Dune by Frank Herbert which, to be honest, is not quite as epic as I thought it might be. The whole messiah can do no wrong complex is really getting to me.
Also reading Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane and I quite like it. The heroine is fun and I like that she's not a typical heroine in that she curses and has a drug addiction. Who says you have to be heroic to be a heroine? Plus she seems to have good appreciation for manflesh. Yum

I finished Dune a few minnutes ago and now will get started on Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan.
Just finished reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk which was a bit of a slog. Surprising as I usually race through his books. Now reading The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry as a bit of swotting up before I start my creative writing course in October. I haven't done very well at poetry in the past to trying to improve
I've heard that's not all that good but I enjoyed 20th Centuary Ghosts and Horns so would be interested to know what you make of it.
The shorts are good but the narrative thread that links them had me chewing concrete.
Just finished What The Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell. Love him.
Starting Sustainable Energy- without the hot air by David JC MacKay.

I was reading The Number of The Beast by Robert A. Heinlein, but it bored me quickly and I wasn't fond of his writing, so I dropped it. Now, I'm reading Firestorm by Iris Johansen. I'm still at the beginning but I'm liking it so far.

Janissary Tree coming up next.

Finished Geektastic last night and loved it. Just (finally) started Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Neil Gaiman
Put down and walked away:
Married Lovers by Jackie Collins. The main character was too vain even for my taste, and I'll read just about anything.
About to start reading:
Visas For Life by Yukiko Sugihara, a true story about a Chinese couple who saved the lives of many Jews during WWII.
Chasing Justice: My Story of Freeing Myself After Two Decades on Death Row, by Kerry Max Cook.
A Colored Man's Journey Through 20th Century Segregated America, by Earl Hutchison, Sr.

I've been on a non-fiction kick lately.
Almost finished with Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond. Super interesting.
Just started A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I just started it.
I read a few Regency romances where the prose outpurpled my own. LOVED them.
I just bought I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and The Count Of Monte Cristo for my son. He's reading classic Lit lately and I am beyond happy.

I just finished City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I enjoyed it much more than the first Mortal Instruments novel.
Richard Morgan's MARKET FORCES. Morgan is an angry man, railing at injustice, shouting at apathetic people (like me) to wake them up. Every time I finish a novel of his I feel slightly bruised.

One Second After by William Forstchen is next (that would be a re-read)
