    Flame of Recca

    Oceanebelle... something similar. Notes of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski. I think you have read some parts already.

    I just finished a book based on the television series of Monk.

    It was titled -Mr Monk and the two assistants.

    Good choice
    The Conclave of Shadows series was excellent, good to see Pug back in the centre of the story where he belongs at last.

    I think the new series (continues on from Conclave) is out in September

    Finished reading "Cell" by Stephen King this weekend.
    Started reading "Rose Madder" (also Stephen King) last night. Got to page 104, then fell asleep. :zzz:

    Stephen King is one of the best authors out there, including James Paterson and Dean Koontz. Absolutely love their stuff.

    The book is so thin, but I can't believe how engrossing it is. The concepts explored are very interesting, especially mob behavior, which I love observing.

    You'll like books 1 to 3. After that, prepare yourself for 8 books of the same thing. Over and over again. Then prepare yourself to patiently wait for the final book.

    Is it just me or is everything just ****?

    It's a nice encyclopedia of all the stupid things we see around us. For example "Sold" signs in front of houses. SMS based radio shows. Oscar parties, luncheons, snacks.

    Also, Memories of Ice which is third in the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. Very detailed and intense storyline. No faltering storylines like that travesty of a series, Wheel of Time.
