There have been many books on my coffee table this summer - most of which I actually got around to reading. Thought I would share some titles with you. What have you been reading lately?
Fiction
Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril, all from Jim's Butcher's Dresden Files. Love, love, love, this series so far! It's the little details about this Wizard detective and his adventures that are so much fun.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I have the next two books in the series on hold at the library and I can't wait for them. It was a long book for me (500 pages) but I read it in no time. I also watched the European movie based on the book and it was a pretty good interpretation. Plus I love sub-titles - they make movies more fun for me.
Bitten by Kelly Armstrong. I haven't started this one yet, but I Googled "urban fantasy" and she was one of the people who came up. The series has 11 titles, so if her first book is good, I'll have tonnes more to read. Also she is a Canadian from Ontario, so I already like that about her.
Non-Fiction
On Writing by Stephen King. I've only finished the first third of this book, which is the autobiography part, and I have to say Stephen King is an awesome dude and a helluva writer. I have to pick up this book again to see his thoughts on writing - I am sure it will informative. I have also been catching King's articles in Entertainment Weekly - I am a sucker for Uncle Stevie's commentary.
Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. It's an autobiography and I only got through the first three chapters before I was too disturbed by the horrors of her childhood to continue reading. She's a good writer, though, so I will try to get back into it sometime soon.
