I can't seem to get enough of modern-noir/pulp style novels lately, especially Charlie Huston's stuff. Just started The Shotgun Rule by him last night and it's amazing.

I also need to pickup Christopher Moore's new book, Fool.

I'll have to show that to my friend. He's hardcore into D&D books.

Devil in the White City. Pretty cool to read about Chicago and know where the locations are at.

Nice...thanks for the recommendation.

I've read Drood and The Terror by Simmons but I didn't know that he had a P.I. series, as well. I'll check 'em out.

Okay I currently have "A Game of Thrones", "Snake Agent", "Forever Peace" and "The Road" in my Amazon cart for the 4-for-3 promo. Any books I should get instead?

Yea he did them as some sort of tribute to Ed Mcbain

Great satire and dark comedy. The movie while good is tame compared to the book.

Foundation- Isaac Asimov

I actually enjoyed the whole foundation series, it's a good read.

I'm slowly trying to get through The Runaway Jury, but I've already seen the movie, so I'm not really inspired to keep reading.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is ridiculously funny. It is definitely NOT PC though, so caveat emptor.

I am a huge sci-fi nut, but i didn't really care for the Foundation series when i read them.

I just finished Lord of Light by Zelazny. Next I'm starting up either Deus Irae by Dick/Zelazny or something by Dan Simmons.

Watchmen

Martian Time-Slip by Philip K. Dick
