Reading "Juliet, Naked" this week. Nick Hornby is getting back on a killer track.

I liked but was more lukewarm regarding "Slam!"...but to be fair, I had just read "King Dork" and "Slam!" may be better than I recollect! Funny how that can work.

"How To Be Good" and "A Long way Down" are OK, but didn't get my sympathies up for the characters.

"Juliet, Naked" has lots of music-fan related insight that can be almost too astute!

So far, two thumbs up.

Recently finished a 'trilogy' (The Traveller, the Dark River, and Golden City) by John Twelve Hawks that reminded me of people here. It's dystopic current time sci fi - if the new video cameras and facial ID by computers stuff strikes you as a little ominous, and you like Phillip K Dick, then this set may be for you. Caution: The third book is a phone in, however.

What are y'all reading lately?
