I’m reading cutesie, quaint British books for some reason: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society; Aunt Dimity and the Duke. Both good. Also reading the latest by Richard Dawkins — The Greatest Show on Earth. Loving it.

@Aaron; hey my girlfriend is doing a lot of gardening lately, so I’ll take it.

@Woeful; I’ve always liked Palahniuk’s stuff, so I’ll have to look for Pygmy.

I’ve just finished Tigerheart by Peter David, which is a fun re-imagining of Peter Pan. It’s probably more suited for younger readers, but hell, I enjoyed it.

And I’m reading Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill (also known as Stephen King’s son) and it’s…alright. The story gets told well enough so far, but there’s a coldness to the writing. The characters don’t seem very human, so far. Not bad, but they kind of fall into the Uncanny Valley.

Things are quiet all over these days… Anyway, I just finished reading Chuck Palahniuk’s new novel “Pygmy.” I think it’s his best work since “Survivor” and “Fight Club.” The writing style takes some getting used to, but once you do, the broken English used by the terrorist character adds a lot of texture to story.

Wow, things sure have gotten quiet around here. This thing on? Hello! Helloooo…

I haven’t read a lot of fiction recently, but if you’re looking for some nonfiction, here’s what I’ve been perusing. Not the most exciting stuff, unless you’re into gardening, but you did ask…
