Taking a break from IT to read another Slade thriller that arrived on interlibrary loan earlier than expected. So far, Cutthroat is a good read. A series of brutal murders in Vancouver and San Francisco, which are somehow connected to Custer's last stand, Charles Darwin, an Asian gang, the Wendigo legend, the Zodiac Killer and a Chinese pharmaceutical company. I'm not even a third of the way through. Slade can really pull together some wild stories.

A little over halfway through Weaveworld by Clive Barker at the moment.  Hoping to start Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde afterward.

I just finished NERO'S KILLING MACHINE: THE TRUE STORY OF ROME'S FOURTEENTH LEGION.  It was an excellent read.

Franz Wisner's "How the World Makes Love" subtitled ". . .And What It Taught a Jilted Groom"

After the writer's bride-to-be leaves him at the altar, he and his younger brother travel around the world and try to make some sense of what happened to him.

Besides "The World's Worst Pickup Lines," there is some good news (No. That's not the good news) he finds his future wife. An TV actress in southern California with a four-year-old son, with whom he bonds.

He may be one of the few writers to marry someone more famous than he, as his bride turns out to be Tracy Middendorf. Trakers may remember her as Ziyla on "Star Trek: DS9."

While this is a work of non-fiction, if you read a book, even if it's fiction, you'll become personally acquainted with the author. Maybe more personally acquainted than you want. For a good author always puts something of themselves into a book, even if subconsciously. His hopes. His fears. Her likes. Her dislikes. Etc.

Recently started Necroscope by Brian Lumley.  I have a short story collection of his and I really enjoyed it so I thought I'd give this a go.
