    Just started reading The Holdout, the new book by Graham Moore. After the The Sherlockian (2010), a modern thriller inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle and the The Last Days Of Night about the current-war, this new book is a legal thriller.

    I’m about 5 Chapters in & I really like it. A lot of subtle humor and fable like story telling. It flows along quickly and holds your attention. It’s a series of tales relating to the actual stories passed down over generations.

    I read it several months ago and really, really enjoyed it - but I've always been a bit of a fan of those stories. Gaiman tells them well and truly and with an utterly appropriate dash of humor.

    Thanks guys. Sounds like one to pick up.

    Now reading: Samuel R. Delany, Shoat Rumblin: His Ideas And Sensations. Kind of a gay picaresque, with a lot of sex that is not my cup of tea (not being gay) but incredibly well-written, as with all Delany's work.

    When She Was Good, the new Michael Robotham. Since his first novel, The Suspect from 2003, Robotham is one of my favorite writers of thrillers.

    Just finished Steve Hackett's book. I enjoyed it a lot. Now reading Colin Powel's autobiography.

    I finished that Marlon James book....it was....interesting. I'm not put off by graphic violence, depictions of gay sex, vulgarity in general, though those issues are on full display. But I struggled somewhat with his dialect, the way he wrote various patois....and I found the plot line a bit hard to grasp more than once. I'd say it's a good book, but....not a masterpiece by my reckoning.

    Now reading David Mitchell's newest novel, as well as Carolyn Forche's latest volume of poems, which is staggeringly great.

    ^^^ I don't think you're supposed to completely get the plot line. It's apparently the first of a trilogy, in which each book are going to tell "the same" story from different points of view. So no one character has the full picture. Kind of like Rashomon.

    Just finished A Man of Honor: The Autobiography of Joseph Bonanno. Wow, if ever there was a book with an ironic title. Honor among thieves, I guess.

    Up next is All the Gallant Men by Donald Stratton. It's the memoir of a survivor of the USS Arizona.

    I've been reading a lot of non-fiction lately (including advertising booklets, pamphlets, and flyers on Medicare - damn, my head hurts). Will get back to horror and crime fiction soon.

    It has been a while, but I read "Man Of Honor". Very interesting book. Of course law enforcement have a different perspective from Mr. Bonanno, but I really enjoyed the book.

    The Rise of Magicks, the conclusion to Nora Roberts's epic post-apocalyptic fantasy trilogy. The first two book were pretty good. So far, this one is meh, but I'll finish it and see if it gets any better.

    That sounds like something I would like. I will have to look it up.
