Carl Hiaasen's Stormy Weather, which is filled with his usual cast of Florida eccentrics.

I really need to play catch-up in this thread!
I just finished AMBERVILLE by Tim Davys. A cool little book about a town inhabited by stuffed animals. The story follows 4 of them on a quest to find "the death list" for the residents there. Not a kids book. Loved the pill popping, s&m loving stuffed gazelle!

Well, my new (used) car has a CD player so I've been listening to books that I otherwise probably wouldn't have the patience to read. Driving three hours a night allows for a lot more listening time than reading time. One recently finished BOCD was the fantastic Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul. Examining the life of Williams allows a plunge into a historical view of the separation of church and state in Colonial America. It reveals a huge, early chunk of the backstory of an American debate that continues today.

Reading-wise I recently started Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago. "Heat waves in the United States kill more people during a typical year than all other natural disasters combined." In July, 1995, Chicago experienced a week long heat wave that resulted in the deaths of over 700 residents. The author, Eric Klinenberg, looked into the whys of such a high death toll and found that the social breakdowns typical in most large American cities played a major role.

Re-reading one of my all-time faves, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray - but this time the uncensored version, published for the first time last year. New and improved, now with added homosexual deviancy.

"In Cold Blood" & "The Virgin Suicides" - bit took a break yesterday to read "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" a young adult supernatural fiction series. Pretty entertaining for a YA novel. I didn't want to put it down.

The Twelve, Book Two in the Passages Trilogy.
Basically a bit of the apocalypse and horror related to military experiments gone awry, in one handy dandy book.

Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell books. Finished Wolf Hall, almost through Bring Up the Bodies. Recommend.

Ooh, I tried to pick up Wolf Hall at the library a few weeks back but it's been unexpectedly popular for a book that's a few years old. I'll just have to keep trying.
What I am reading right now is Jim Butcher's Cold Days. Anyone else do Dresden Files?

Jim, why are you comfortable posting the word "faggots" on your personal Twitter account and them coming here posting on a board with so many gay men?

We, The Drowned by Carsten Jensen -
A Danish seafaring epic that spans over a hundred years. I am loving it so far, I can't wait to get home to read it. Best book I've read in ages.

Reading Kafka's THE CASTLE, and finding that life really does imitate art. Amazing novel.
