Just started reading 'The Drop', a murder mystery by Michael Connelly.
Not got far in yet, but I'm enjoying this so far. Seems very competent and well thought through as is usual with Connelly.

Limited Edition of One
Book by Steven Wilson
Very interesting if you have an interest in Steven's work or Porcupine Tree - a fascinating insight and not like a normal run of the mill autobiography.

I recently finished reading 'Unwholly' by Neal Shusterman, one book of a bunch picked up in a charity shop without great expectations and was surprised by this one. Despite being, I suppose, aimed at juvenile readers, it gets a thumbs up from me! Check the reviews.
Currently halfway through 'Cat's Cradle' by Kurt Vonnegut. Yes, yet another Vonnegut book, I like 'em! This one is great fun in his typically quirky way.

Another charity shop purchase, 'The Genesis Code', by John Case. Nicely paced murder mystery/thriller, I'm halfway though and enjoying it. There's a hint of a Dan Brown flavour and complexity to it and it predates the Da Vinci Code I think.

Now reading 'Her Every Fear' by Peter Swanson. Seems a quite twisty murder mystery and a few red herrings being strewn I suspect. He's not a bad writer.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm re-reading all of the books in Alexander McCall's "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency". (There are 23 books in the series, so far.)

Just finished reading 'The Wrong Side of Goodbye' by Michael Connolly.
A slightly twisty tale about the reluctant heir to a huge fortune, enjoyed it. Connelly thinks his ideas through well.
Now starting 'Chasing Darkness' by Robert Crais. Another decent writer, with a style not entirely dissimilar to Connelly.

Yes it is, with another Connolly character popping in. Haller, from 'The Lincoln Lawyer' story, who is Bosch's stepbrother apparently.Originally Posted by struth
