    Horror Story recommendations?

    OK I see it now. It's the price of 2007 paperback edition. I wonder what's so special about this edition that cost $190 more than 2009 hardback edition?

    Harlan Coban

    Read "the deal breaker", one of the Myron Bolitar series, and didn't like it. I may try one of his stand alone books.

    Which Novel Series Do You Currently Own?

    Ha! Now I remembered after reading it I made a mental note to reader second one soon. Amazon did a poor job displaying these kind of information.

    Dennis Lehane-anyone read his books?

    I listened to Shutter Island audio last year and really liked it. I plan to read/listen the mystic river in the near future. I have already seen the movie the mystic river a few years back, so I don't know who this would affect my reading experience. I prefer reading the book first. I...

    Which Novel Series Do You Currently Own?

    I read The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly a while ago and loved it, but it's probably a stand alone book. I plan to read another of his books soon. When reading a series, do you guys read in order?

    John Kennedy Toole: A Confederacy Of Dunces

    This is one of my all time favorites. I listened to the audio version a couple yeas ago, narrated by Barrett Whitener who did a fantastic job. There aren't that many books I wish to reread, but this is surely one of them.

    Forgot this one. Dexter in the Dark (the third in the series) 3/5. Not as good as the previous 2 in the series, especially the second one.

    Are You A Slacker?

    I may slack off for a few days with printed books, but not with audio books. It has became a habit of mine to listen to audio books when I am "on the go.", averaging more than 3 hours a day.

    Monogamous? or not?

    I always have 4 or more books going at the same time: 2 audio books and 2 or more printed books.

    Personal Reading Record

    I topped 200 last year, most of them being audio books. If you want to read more and don't have time, give audio books a try. Just load them to a MP3 player and listen whenever possible. You'd be surprised how much "free" time you could squeeze out of your day.

    "skim" is a better word, but since I was listening to the audio book perhaps that wasn't really correct either. It's much harder to "skim through" an audio book than an printed book, one of the disadvantages of listening to audio book.
