John Ajvide Lindqvist, Tjärven

The author of Let The Right One In kicks back and relaxes with a quick and dirty (and very gory) zombie novel with a soundtrack by Modern Talking. Good fun.

I'm probably going to read The City and the City, but like you , I
don't want to rush into it. Mieville is obviously brilliant, but would
be more successful, if he was reader friendly.

John Dies at the End by David Wong
I laughed and shivered. What a great read. If you like dark comedy and horror, this book is for you.

Just finished: Night over water by Ken Follett, written in 1991.
Great mystery in war declared England in 1939, aboard Pan Am's
famous Clipper plane/boat. The only thing missing was Humphrey
Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet not on the passenger
list!

Don't know if I'm in the right place for this post but I just finished The Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor and it was great - lots of action and Nick Harvath is every bit as exciting as Jack Reacher in Lee Child's books. Am looking forward to reading more of Brad's books. Have just started (for the second time) Ken Follett's Jackdaws. Have read it before but don't remember all the plot. momac

good to hear. I read they are supposed to make a movie out of Lions of Lucerne so I will have to read it before the movie comes out.

I finished Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly and have to say that it's better than the Reversal but not as good as Brass Verdict. 3.5 out of 5

Hello Tai Mai Shue: Glad you enjoyed The Lions - I'd like to see the movie although we would probably wait until the DVD comes out. My hubby can't stand the racket from the Dolby sound in theatres. momac

The Sixth Man by David Baldacci - It was alright. A lot of things happening and he tries to throw you off and like many Baldacci book, he always has a twist in there somewhere. 3/5 or

Just finished: Honolulu by Alan Brennert- Nice light read in between
reading heavier subjects. Book is about " picture brides " coming from
Korea to Honolulu in early 1900's. Book is full of data about Hawaii and
