Spent today reading the old Doctor Who novel "Vampire Science" (I say old, it was like 99 or so). If you like Doctor Who and vampires...it's an interesting cross over, but it does feel like it rambles a bit. <br /><br />The Garth Ennis "Preacher" series of graphic novels makes for some fun comic-book reading. Moody and Texas and all "end of the world" with religious symbolism and violence.<br /><br />Hmm, what else. Reading through Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Nothing like a mounting sense of dread to help you through a novel. And a book called The Fly, which I think is about the decay of the human spirit, or something. <br /><br />Besides those, Brian Keene's very-quick-read novella The Cage, and some other Discworld novels (always a treat, to me), I did a quick pass through a few backlist books (Death of Grass, Jaws, The Lowland Rider) and found them somewhat intriguing, but not necessarily knock outs. The Lowland Rider is probably the most compelling of the three, even if the ending is deep in the dark fantasy half of horror.Doug Boldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09335171371087745263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128644009910841672.post-52977127560105236502010-09-08T22:46:00.395-05:002010-09-08T22:46:00.395-05:00Please feel free to leave your own recent readsPlease feel free to leave your own recent readsthehodgenatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101929380693313188noreply@blogger.com
