Pandora's Star from Peter Hamilton After reading his Viod Triology (well the two out so far), i HAD to read more, for someone whos never been into Sci-fi, he drew me into worlds i never could have imagined id fall in love with.
The Shadow over Innsmouth - by H.P. Lovecraft. An old favourte. I loved this book. Players - Don Delillo. I'm really getting into Don Delillo. One can see Thomas Pynchon in his stylistic phrasings.
Regarding Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island I am not an easy man to get to. Misery didn't faze me so much, neither did movies like Memento or The Prestige, or even In the Mouth of Madness, as hard as it tried. I've always been searching for some pinnacle of horror, of mind-shattering revelation, of some insane genius. This. This book, has broken me. It shouldn't have; I had already come to expect this sort of thing from The Machinist and The Wicker Man, but ****, this finally did it. Shutter Island has shattered my expectations and my iron-clad conviction against these sort of books. Dennis Lehane has achieved what nobody else could. I'm beat, folks, and I think you should all read this if you don't believe me.
The most recent book I finished was Dandelion Wine, but I'm currently reading The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language by Steven Pinker. It's very interesting and I highly recommend it.
I just started reading Theft by Peter Carey. For some reason I've always been attracted to fiction about art and art fraud - Daniel Silva, Peter Mayle, The Thomas Crown Affair. The interesting thing about Theft is that he switches between the two brothers both speaking in the first person.
