Bought Gone Girl yesterday for my plane ride today. Started it last night, figured I'd read a few pages...
...and kept at it until 3:00 am to finish it. Didn't want to stop reading!

A few things on the go:
This is just great, check the reviews and blurbs: http://www.amazon.com/Filaria-Brent-.../dp/0980941016
And this too. Random buy from the Dark Regions summer sale. Two stories in and his style is very unsettling.
Also Odd Hours by Koontz and Half a King by Abercrombie.
I read a kick-ass novella by Jonathan Janz. It came out yesterday. Here's the link. It's a homage to Exorcist but it's also so much more. He made me reach for the dictionary, not once but twice. Bonus points for that. 100 pages and I dare you to not finish it in one sitting.
Well, Silverberg started off great but by the end it was a chore. First out of thirty or so of his books that made me feel that way.
Filaria was great. Odd Hours was all right but a little redundant. I didn't really learn anything new about Odd but the story was OK.
Reading now: Dean Koontz - House of Thunder and Gene O'Neill - Ghosts, Spirits, Computers and World Machines
the only Koontz i've read is his take on Frankenstein's Monster
Hunter Killer by Chris Ryan
When he's on, he's really on and you feel happy and thankful for such a talent. When he's bad you want to pull your hair out and rip the book to shreds.
Just finished John Scalzi's LOCK IN. A good read, but a bit slight.

I loved that book. Especially all the 80's easter eggs.
I've recently been reading the Demon Cycle series by Peter V. Brett
Finished O'Neill and Koontz, started Fecund's Melancholy Daughter by Brent Hayward and A Matter of Time by Glen Cook.
Slowly reading Piercing the Darkness, a story a day.
Just finished reading the first Wayward Pines book by Blake Crouch. Loved it. Can't wait to read the next two. Has anyone else been reading these?

That's book 2, right? Hoping to get to that within the next few days!
Cannot wait for that hardcover omnibus to delve into the Vandermeer trilogy. Hate reading paperbacks!
I've fallen in love with the works of Cormac Mccarthy over the last few years. Reading Blood Meridian (again). Man I wish I could write like that.
Hunter-Killer by Chris Ryan
Joyland.
Not Christie by far, but still enjoyable.
