Reading Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone to my kids. Reading Artemis Fowl for me.

Almost done with this. Almost (but just a shade not quite) as good as Moskowitz's SCIENCE FICTION BY GASLIGHT. That one had some pretty whacked out stuff in it. These don't hold much back, though, at least as far as unbridled imagination is concerned. All stories are from the period between 1890 and 1910. Need to decide on a Halloween novel when this is finished.

Finished GHOSTLY BY GASLIGHT and have now started this brief Halloween romp:

Barring the occasional racial slur these Savage adventures can be fun, but, like Doc Smith, best taken in small doses.

Hah- I'm a Doc Savage fan from way back. Never read that particular volume though.

Yay! Got my copy of Dexter's Final Cut at last. Looking forward to spending the weekend with that and the cat ... undecided whether to read the series again from the beginning first, as I think this is probably the final novel.



Oh Showtime, what did you do??? *Shakes head sadly*

Just starting Carnies by Martin Livings.
Good so far.

Have to say I love Jonathan Maberry and Joe Hill.
Two of my favourite writers at the moment.
