I just finished reading the first 4 books of Stephen King’s Gunslinger series. Now, I’m hooked on Soduko puzzles.

I’m reading the new Andrew Vachss novel, Two Trains Running. The prose, characterizations, and plotting are up to Vachss’s usual high standards, but this is the first time Vachss has attempted, so far as I know, a sprawling, multi-POV, omniscient narration; his wielding of this new tool is a little clumsy. Vachss has been working in first person mode for a long time. He seems a little uncomfortable with the omniscient narration and consequently overuses the tool of dialog-as-exposition. But that more of a writer’s complaint than a reader’s. If you like a good noir crime story, this is a good one.

I forgot to make a recommendation: I hightly recommend the new Bantam Spectra edition of Jeff VanderMeer’s Veniss Underground. You will tear through it, and it will stay with a long time. Here is an amazon link for it:
