Read his Womens Murder Mystery Club series the ones that start with numbers... You will love it, lots of local reference.
That series is next... assuming there isn't another Alex Cross book released by the time I finish the last one!

And yes, all eBooks.

Back to topic. Finished Once a Spy last week. A story about a superspy that gets Alzheimers and everyone wants him because they either want to off him because they are afraid of the secrets he will share or they want him to get the secrets he might share. His son, who doesn't know he is a spy is reunited with him.

Great original take on a traditional spy story. I reviewed it on my blog. Once a Spy by Keith Thomson | Mr Shields: I'm a reader not a fighter

I just finished up Hitchhickers's Guide to the Galaxy. Amazon has the ommibus edition (all five books) for $9.16 last I looked. It wasn't as funny as I remember it from 20 years ago. But well worth the time.

Kraken by China Mieville

I haven't read that one yet, but he is one of my favorite authors.

I am usually reading a couple of books at the same time. Right now I am reading "Carrion Comfort" by Dan Simmons and "The Reversal" by Michael Connelly.

I have not even started my new book yet. But I carry it with me ~ just in case.:D

If you had bought it as eBook (kindle) you wouldn't have to carry it around since you always have the iPad and Blackberry apps to read from...

I've read the "Endymion" and "Hyperion " sagas from Simmons. Great stories!

I really enjoyed the "Hyperion" books quite a bit. I haven't tried the "Endymion" series yet but they look quite interesting as well. Vernor Vinge is another great SF author I have been reading recently.

Vinge had promotions on his ebooks last year. He's very imaginative, I like him too.
