I'm currently reading Dune, but I haven't finished it. So far it's pretty great.

Dexter is Delicious
Amusing as always, but fluff, really.

Spiral Hunt
It was a pretty good urban fantasy, but not stunning.

One of the many reasons I am so taken with Souless: "Highland werewolves had a reputation for doing atrocious and highly unwarranted things, like wearing smoking jackets to the dinner table."
It happens to also have a well designed alternative Victorian London, a complex way of dealing with period prejudices, and a strong minded intelligent female lead who chaffs against societal expectations of womanhood much the way my own Great Grand mother and Great great grandmother did, though they expressed it in different ways from the heroine of this piece and each other. The narrative voice it absolutely charming, though the writing in the second half is not quite as tight as in the first half generally. It's a very strong first novel.

I read I am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne. It was a very interesting read. Learned lots of stuff about the music industry in general.

I'm enjoying Dead to Me. I have given Conner Detective Lennie Briscoe, from Law and Order's voice. I have given the main character, a younger, slightly softer Joe Pantoliano type voice. This lies somewhere between Ghostbusters, MIB, and a hard boiled police detective novel from the middle of the last century, while still feeling very modern. It is the rare novel in it's genre with a male lead, like Dresden Files or Felix Castor, and is particularly rare in that the main characters are over worked members of a government bureaucracy rather than freelance. I'm enjoying it thouroughly so far. I'll let you know how I feel when it's finished.
