Oryx and Crake well written and interesting so far if a bit bleak feeling

In some ways I liked that more than The Day of the Triffids, though that's good reading, too.

I'm about 1/3 into the collection The Dinosaur Tourist by Caitlin Kiernan, and as usual I'm completely drawn in by her voice and story-telling choices. A couple of the stories are more s.f. than I'm accustomed to from her, and work quite well. A terrifically skilled writer.

Triffids was one of the first sci-fi/horror movies I saw as a kid and it left a lasting impression on me. I haven't read the book as yet though.

I've enjoyed reading a few stories by Kiernan scattered in a few anthologies but I must progress to reading her collections and novels at some point.

[Randy]

I have a couple of collections and about 5 novels I haven't gotten to yet. For what it's worth, The Very Best of Caitlín R. Kiernan according to Barnes & Noble hits the shelves on 2/19.

Picked up The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides from my little local bookstore since Blake Crouch raved about it in his newsletter email.. I'm only 23 pages in but since Im sick in bed and alone for a week ( bf is visiting family and skiing on the other side of the world) I get to read read and read some more! So the plan for today is to read this whole thing :) then jump on the next.. hopefully I won't get book drunk lol.



"Promising to be the debut novel of the season The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive…"

If you have to be sick in bed this is not a bad way to spend the time. Hope you feel better soon though. :)

I just started Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. It was heralded as a precursor to The Da Vinci Code. I don't know why, other than it involves history and artwork. I'm already struggling through this ridiculously dense story overloaded with math, science, obscure art references and way too much description and contemplation of every item in the room and thought to go through the narrator's head. If I manage to get through this one, it's gonna be a small chunk at a time. Ugh.

So, I put that one down and picked up Ferocity by Stephen Laws, and breezed through 2/3 of it already.

Thanks for the recommendation, Randy! I hadn't heard about that just-about-to-be-published anthology beforehand.

I had a bad week at work so I am rereading " Apt Pupil " by Stephen King. I think Different Seasons is one of his best , while " Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption " and " The Body " are great stories , Apt Pupil always stuck with me. Dark stuff.

I'm starting The Fisherman which I had to read after Chars review

Naomi's Room. I can't decide whether it's a 5 star or 3 star yet. Parts of it are amazing and others a bit 'meh'.

The Man in the High Castle

A bit of sci-fi for a change. I really enjoyed A Scanner Darkly so hopefully this is on par.

There's a tv show based on this book isn't there? Worth a watch?
