I'm reading The Loch by Steve Alten, and I'm really enjoying it. It's really good. I just wanted to share.

Finished reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Stieg Larsson, Septembers book of the month, great book. Then read "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris, a disturbing read. Then read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, a VERY disturbing read. Am now reading "Bear Island" by Alistair Maclean just for a break. 8)

I couldn't put The Loch down, so now I'm finished it and on to The Subtle Knife. I can't remember what's next on my list, but I think it's A Prayer for Owen Meany.

The Master Butcher's Singing Club by Louise Erdrich is on my bedside table and I'm listening to a scifi novel in the car. I can't remember the name of it.

Now I'm reading A Prayer for Owen Meany, but I'm just not sure about it yet. But I am also reading two series---His Dark Materials and The Keys to the Kingdom---and I'm itching to move on to the next books in those series. I'm trying not to read more than one book at a time.

It's just that my current book is about 200 pages longer than the other books I've been reading. Seems a little overwhelming!

Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore - I have about 100 pages to go and it's ok. Nothing spectacular. I'll read the follow up book, You Suck at some point though.

Endymion by Dan Simmons - I have only read a few chapters and can't wait to finish Bloodsucking Fiends so I can concentrate on it. I love the Hyperion Cantos. It's so good!

I've started The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien. I haven't broken through the ice yet, but I sense I'm going to deeply enjoy this story once I warm up to it a bit.

I loved "The Little Stranger". Some parts in it are so creepy. Did you know that it was short listed for the booker prize this year?

Hi Fran. To be honest, it's been a bit slow going for me. I have about forty pages left.

I've never heard of The Little Stranger, but I will look into it.
