    Just read Famous by Blake Crouch. I had read a lot of reviews about how this one was very different from his other books, and I wondered how true that could really be, but boy it was very different from all his other books I read. I really reminded me a lot of Chuck Palahniuk, even down to the writing style a bit, although just not nearly as unique as his. I don't think I would recommend it, it was ok I guess, b.ut nothing I'll ever read again.

    Think I'm finally going to start Mr. Mercedes, that way I can read Finders Keepers right after

    Neil Gaiman - Trigger Warning. Great collection. I wonder if anyone has looked up Gene Wolfe because of Gaiman's praise.

    Michael Marshall Smith - Everything You Need. Another great collection.

    Nice. I guess it's time to check in on the reading front.

    Almost through Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and something I don't do often, but also concurrently reading Ready Player One, Ernest Cline.

    It's one of Simmons' best. I think I only like Carrion Comfort better.
    Enjoy the rest of your ride!

    i've been reading 'Patrica Cornwell's (1992) novel All That Remains it's the 3rd book in her Scarpetta Series. has anyone ever read her on here? and if so what did you think of her? i've got to say i just started reading her this year and i'm really enjoying her books. the 1st Book Post Mortem which i read a few months back was a really slow book to get started on. it was too much science with the DNA and shit like that and less story it felt like. less Character Development and it took like 90 pages for anything to really happen. in short it took me forever to really enjoy it. i gave the 2nd book a try last week and read that in 8 days! and the 1st novel is 25 years old hard to believe it. anyways, she's put a book out nearly every year since she started the series in (1990) anyways, the 2nd novel Body of Evidence was a vastly improved Novel and it corrected all the problems i had with the 1st book.

    and so now i'm on the 3rd novel and i'm not sure on that one yet as i'm only like 50 pages into it so far. in short i'm not that far into it pretty much

    Started Mr. Mercedes, about 80 pages in but so far it's not really grabbing me. Normally I would have tossed it aside by now, but it is King so I'll try to persevere. I hope it gets better. I haven't heard too much about it so was curious what the general consensus of it was.

    I liked Mr. Mercedes. I enjoyed my time with it but it's definitely not something I'll read through again. I guess I'm too used to supernatural King.. wasn't used to something this straight forward.

    I really liked Mr. Mercedes a lot. It was a bit of a departure for King, but I really enjoyed it. Perfect summer read.

    Just finished up the first two Odd Thomas books (Dean Koontz). Reads like horror books with training wheels. Maybe aimed at young adults. I'm going to move on to something else and maybe come back to pick up the series at a later time.

    I love my local library. I just received notifications that three of my holds have arrived: Ready Player One e-audio, The Scarlet Gospels, and The Acolyte which is Nick Cutters latest book.

    Haruki Murakami's The Strange Library. I bought the UK edition, which is hardcover with thick pages, while the US edition is paperback for some reason, and the UK edition is illustrated much better, too, judging by the preview of the US edition on Amazon.

    Just finished December Park by Ronald Malfi and loved it. It's the first I've read from him.
