I've got two books going. One is my mommy time, bath tub smut novel Surrender by Heather Graham. Graham (Rebel; Captive) sets her latest McKenzie family saga in Civil War-era Florida, a refreshing, unique backdrop for that bloody struggle. Most of the action takes place at sea, where swashbuckling rebel captain Jerome McKenzie, skipper of the Lady Varina (after Jefferson Davis's wife), is big, bold, and has Seminole blood running in his veins. Beautiful, bold Risa Magee, a Union general's daughter who nurses the wounded, is his nemesis. Mutual hatred turns into turbulent love?but not before multiple misunderstandings threaten to tear the fragile relationship apart. It's a classic formula historical romance, but Graham does it better than anyone. Assured narratives, deft characterizations and fast-moving plots are givens. But this is also a classic bodice-ripper with chemises, bodices, pantalets and other delicate flimsies strewn throughout. It's not to everyone's taste, but Graham does it well. And then we also have Dylan's bedtime story The Missing Piece

Missing Piece is excellent as well. That's not Heather Graham, actress is it? No.. some smut novel writer. She's really quite good, I've read several of her books. Sometimes she's got an extra last name on her books.. Heather Graham Pozzesar or something. I give her books 5 enthusiastic thumbs up

Broken Summers by Henry Rollins
Man, he really hates Los Angeles. And apparently he's only happy when he's on the road, on stage or beating the crap out of people.

The Handmaid's tale by Margaret Atwood: Had to read it for school. It's actually quite a scary and not as unrealistic as you'd think. Sort of like what life in America would be like for women if it became an Islamic regime.
The thought gang by Tobias Fischer. Funny.

Broken Summers by Henry Rollins Man, he really hates Los Angeles. And apparently he's only happy when he's on the road, on stage or beating the crap out of people. If you've read "Get in the Van", you'll know that Rollins hates everything.

If you've read "Get in the Van", you'll know that Rollins hates everything. I have the audiobook version and yes, he does hate everything. Including himself.

I'm not a big fan of Dan Brown's prose, his storytelling is ok, but his style seems a lil 'clunky' to me at times. Angels & Demons is pre-Davinci storyline wise right?

Yeah it is
I'm flexible about my opinion on the guy. He's alright for me but I can see why others don't like him
It was cheap lol (So where the other 2 I read after Da Vinci Code....Which I did enjoy)

I don't dislike him, as I said I liked the way Da Vinci's story unfolded, his prose just doesn't please the "ears" to me, which is a minor quibble.

I'm currently going through various works by H.P. Lovecraft; fantastic fantasy-horror.
I'm also gonna start on The Cost of Rights: Why Liberty Depends on Taxes. The little bit I've read so far has been pretty fascinating.
But if I get World War Z for Christmas, then don't expect to hear from me for a few days.
