Just finished To The Power of Three by Laura Lippman. Pretty good murder mystery...
 Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

I just finished Jack Ketchum's Off Season. And I will NEVER visit any non-city location in Maine. EVER. That said, I was going to start Ketchum's The Girl Next Door or James Carroll's Constantine's Sword or Sergei Lukyanenko's Nightwatch (the book that the movie's based on...a friend got me an advanced reading copy). But my Dad's been asking me about the book he got me for XMas, so I've started Rising Tide by John M. Barry. Good book so far.

Why? Never read this, so I dunno...then again, heading back to Bumblefuck, Maine next weekend, so is this info something that will scare the crap outta me?

Why you'd ask that of a native New Englander is beyond me, but I think I can sum it up with four words:
Inbred, incestuous, cannibal Mainefolk.
I know, not too far from the reality of that state but, yes, it made me say, "Ewwwwwwwwww" quite a few times. Definitely a one-eighty from the Maine that King writes about.

Heh. Funny you should say that, because I started humming the theme song to Deliverance when we were driving to the cabins in Maine, and the first thing I said when we finally got to the cabins was, "this place is where they film horror movies."  Seriously, there is nothing around but woods, deer and the homes are miles apart - it was kinda creepy at night adn all I kept thinking of was Friday the 13th and the like - never mind some of the locals we met...

Was it worth a read?
Just finshed Every Secret Thing, again by Laura Lippman. Not as good as the last book I read - problem is, with certain authors, they follow that same type of format over and over and so it wasn't too hard to figure out who the real culprit was in this one...

It was worth the read, as long as you know what you're getting into. Ketchum has a decent - not great, but good - style. He's not afraid to describe something in all its gory detail to the point where you find yourself squirming a little in your seat. Your description of where you're staying would lead me to advise that you read it AFTER you come home.
I'm reading Ketchum's The Girl Next Door at home...

Goldfinger by Ian Fleming
Working my way through the Bond books. Jesus Bond was a misogynist! And Fleming was pretty sexist. This comes accross pretty clear from how thin the female characters are. But by and large I am enjoying the books.

I find it unnerving that this is what I first thought of when reading the name "Jesus Bond".
Get out of my head!!!

I'm currently reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and will (hopefully) be following it up with On the Road by Jack Kerouac and The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway.

Just finished Flood and Dead and Gone both by Andrew Vachss. Both are gritty, excellent books - I'm now hooked on his Burke series of novels. Also just ordered Shella on Amazon as I can't find it in B&N nor any of the smaller book shops in the city.
He was one of the authors recommended in rex's "rec me an author" thread and I am so glad to have picked up his books...

Shella was the first book of his that I read. After that, I scooped up everything he wrote. Flood and Strega are my favorite Burke novels, but I love all his stuff. He has two short story collections (I forget their titles) that have stories featuring a character named Cross. Also great, and Dark Horse released at least one limited series based on the character. If you can find it at your local comics dealer, check out Another Chance To Get It Right - a book he did to raise money for various child protection charities.

yeah, I've checked out his website http://www.vachss.com/ and looked around. He (and his wife, Alice, a former ADA in the Queens' DA's sex crimes unit) are outspoken advocates for abused children. His books focus on those themes - really sad, and his words have the ring of truth to them. I wonder if he was a victim himself as a child? His books cut just a little too close to the bone to just be something that he speaks of from mere observations made during his career.

It's a lot like reading an Anne Rice novel...enough historical fact and detail to make it seem almost beleivable. It falls short in the narration though. Fucking 'experimental' bulshit was penned by over 50 people. I hate 'high art'!

Damn Joe (inna good way!) for recommending him - I'm hooked now...this is my 4th Vachss book in 10 days...
This is the best compliment I could hope for. Aside from, "That was the best sex I've ever had!"

I read Caleb Carr's Killing Time yesterday instead of doing anything else. This was a very intriguing novel. I like how Carr writes because it gives me room to argue with the characters while I'm reading it. I don't have to take everything they say as 100% right; the reader is allowed their own ideas and interpretations.
The basic plot is in the near future (2023) with a faster, sleeker internet and a world of people who crave information and refuse the dicipline of knowledge. A group of renegade intellectuals try to prank the world into waking up to their apathy. Danger ensues.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!

Just picked up A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. I've heard good things about this book.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Diary of a Lost Girl - Kola Boof this woman is a total fucking loop.
And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Ok, I ended up starting Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen, instead of Scanner - that'll be next on the list instead. I frickin' love Hiaasen - his murder/mysteries are hysterical and he manages to create these characters that are so completely out there, and yet, still believable. Funny as hell.
As for Vachss' Pain Management - it was the first of his books that I didn't like. Maybe because the main character, Burke, was in hiding and wasn't in his usual NYC element - that coupled with the fact that both the female leads in this book really annoyed the living fuck out of me, and the whole reason for the "pain management" title wasn't what I've come to expect from Vachss and the usual themes he deals with - all of it just ended up boring me.

Is it worth picking up, though?

I know I said I wasn't going to do it in the other thread, but I started re-reading The Stand yesterday.

It's really hard to get through on a second read. Without the mounting suspense...you realize just how dry the novel actually is.

so far its not a bad read. if not for some warped insight into bin laden but for the humour that he supposedly had her dance naked to rock lobster.

I haven't read it in 12 years and hardly remember what happened in most of the book.
