I'm currently reading Steig Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, thanks to glowing remarks from Ali. At 500 plus pages, it may take a while.<br />
<br />
I've decided to read the 5 nominees for Edgar Best Novel. All except one of those books was already in the TBR stack so now they just need to be shuffled a little. I also have Susan Hill's The Risk of Darkness (Book three in her Simon Serrailler series), The Crazy House by Cornelia Read, Barbara Serenella's final book Deadman's Switch, and by then…

Never a lack of books, only the lack of time to read them.<br />

There are some books on my TBR pile that have been there at least 7 years. I do plan to read them someday. Really.

Daniel, you'll have to tell me what you thought of The Road. I just finished it recently, so am interested what others think. I just went through my basement stash of about 200 books and pulled these out to read next: The Secret Hangman by Peter Lovesey, Borkmann's Point by Hakan Nesser, December Heat by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, A Taste for Death by P.D. James and A Death in Vienna by Frank Tallis. I'm trying to read through my basement books before buying any more, but I did have to buy The…

Oh, yes. My stack has 38 books haphazardly placed in my office. Authors include Jonathan Kellerman, Harlen Coben, Wilbur Smith, Larry McMurtry, two anthologies, Peter Temple, Ken Bruen, James Patterson, Lee Child, Libby Hellmann. And then I always have to find time to write.

As is usually the case, I'm behind the times. I just recently stumbled across a list of the "most over looked" novels at The Rap Sheet's blog. So I'm going to work through a few of those.

I just finished Peter Temple's THE BROKEN SHORE - loved its dark gloominess and the quality of the writing. I've looked forward to Zadie Smith's WHITE TEETH for ages and really enjoyed her wonderful writing, characterisation and ability to write speech so well, you can hear the characters speaking. I'm not finding her second book THE AUTOGRAPH MAN quite so appealing. Next up are Ian Rankin's EXIT MUSIC - really looking forward to that - and the Booker winner, Anne Enright's THE GATHERING. I…

Currently: Ammmaniti - "I'm not afraid", Akunin - "Azazel"<br />
TBR: Coben's "The Woods".... and I don't know. I guess that one's next. My to be read list is evergrowing and only God knows what will I read next :)<br />
<br />
Btw, Daniel - I liked "The Raw Shark Texts". It was great for me.

Oh yes, I will be watching that. I'm not into the crime syndicates so much, but the cast and the books means it's going to be a top rater!<br />

Hey, did you two see the ads about the UNDERBELLY TV series? Looks great. I can't wait to watch it.
