    Finished Michael Connolly's "The Closers" last night and started in on Paul Cleave's "Collecting Cooper".

    I wish Cleave had a US distribution for his previous releases. I recommend his "Blood Men", it's a good read, not a typical detective novel. Also I would recommend reading "Cemetery Lake" prior to "Collecting Cooper", they are a series so far.

    Finished Robopocalypse by Daniel Wilson, good multi-thread story-telling. At first I was put off by the time shift/lookback, but in the end, thoroughly enjoying read.

    Then shifted gears, Botchan by Natsume Sōseki (1906), a Japanese classic. A very good read! Literally read it cover-to-cover on the trip to Vancouver and back!

    Just started Blackout by Connie Willis. I like her in short story format, haven't clicked with many of her novels -- but saw this touted at Elliot Bay during Seattle EV shows. Whoa! Very engaging, with baseball over, nice to have something to look forward to for night-time wind down!

    It's So Easy and other lies-Duff McKagan

    just finished reading it. that guy almost died so many times, really good read. Say whatever you want about GN'R, but I loved them, and they were the first real band I was introduced to.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
