Recent reading
Sep. 30th, 2007 11:28 pmThis is mostly just titles - I might come back and fill in more details later, and then again, maybe I won't get around to it. I'll save the details for more exciting books.
No Nest for the Wicket - latest in Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow series (murder mysteries, humorous, featuring eccentric relatives, academia, and birds.)
Obsession - latest in Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series (murder mysteries w/ a child psychologist assisting police detectives, set in LA)
Several SF and murder mystery anthologies not special enough to provide details.
The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog by Bruce Perry - tales of child psychiatry in a sort of Oliver Sacks vein.
Stolen - one of the books in Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series that I had missed. Mad scientists/evil billionaire kidnapping werewolves.
Many Bloody Returns - anthology of vampire birthday stories, with entries from most of the big series - Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse is in there, Tanya Huff's Henry Fitzroy, etc. If you're following any vampire series, you'll want to read this anthology to get some of the fill-in-the-cracks bits of story.
A couple of books in Susan Rogers Cooper's Milt Kovack series that I had either forgotten or missed.
Jack Kerouac's On The Road - didn't like it. Much prefered the Jack London stuff I read earlier. I kept thinking, buncha repressed guys trying really hard to act heterosexual and screwing it up badly. I guess it was more interesting when it was new.
I'll get more reading done once our home is our own again - Cindy moves into her own apt. the 13th, and I will be relieved. Other people are a pain to live with, you know?
