"The Complete History of Jack the Ripper," by Sugden. I just beat Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper (one sentence review: I am supposed to be a master detective tracking a serial killer, so why am I spending all my time doing the random busywork of everyone I come across?), and got curious. Very dry reading, which I suppose is better than the sensationalism the topic could invoke.

I'm about halfway through Inferno by Dan Brown. It's definitely better than the last one, but Brown tends to get a little tied up in the minutia of describing the history of certain landmarks and history. Overall, not the greatest book ever, but good enough for me to want to finish.

No Greater Ally - The Untold Story of Poland's Forces in World War II by Kenneth K. Koskodan. To a WWII nut like me, it's interesting indeed, and it reminds me of the way that Finnish historians regard our role in WWII.

I've read it a year ago. Although I really love Lovecraft, some of the stories I found quite slow/repetitious. He can be pretty predictable, as well. Nonetheless, Necronomicon's a masterpiece. ^^

Stephen Leather, I read a couple of his novels based on a guy in Thailand, but he has also written some occult novels based on a private eye called Nightingale.

Books in chronological order :

Nightfall
Midnight
Nightmare
Nightshade

I have nearly finished the first book and its a good read, kinda Dean Koontz kinda thing, Ex-Cop turned private eye, finds his father actually sold his soul to the devil.

I usually share my reading time between a serious book, that I read at home in the evening ( currently : The complete works of Flavius Josephus ) and a not so serious one I read when commuting to/from work ( I just finished The lost fleet , beyond the frontier : guardian )

Just finished reading The Black Prism by Brent Weeks.
Couldn't put it down, can not wait to read the next book in the Lightbringer Series.

Didn't know he started a new series. The Night Angel Trilogy was great...to the Kindle store. Now I have a backlog in books and games.

So yeah, I have still not progressed with a Tale of Two Cities, but I did finish reading Catcher in the Rye. Well, what can I really say? It is a unique book, but I don't think it particularly resonated with me. Perhaps if I had read it over 10 years ago...

Read it when I was 17 and I did not care for it at all.
