I was just going to post a thread about reading. I was going to ask how many books you read at once ...
I got to go to the Book Expo America, so have a lot of books at my disposal.

Many of them are "prerelease," so don't be surprised if you haven't yet seen them in stores.

I am currently reading ...
Faithless by Karen Slaughter. It is very good so far (about halfway through), she's a good suspense writer, and the book continues many of the main characters from her previous books I've read, which is cool. Her characters are well done, and feel like real people, not just cartoonish stereotypes, so it is always a good read. Plenty of good detail, not too much

Splintered Icon by Bill Napier. (about halfway through) One of the many books that are seeming to be marked as the next Davinci Code, but I haven't read that, so cannot compare. So far this is a good mix of historical fiction mixed with historical fact, and a good modern setting and characters. Doesn;t (so far) get bogged down in a lot of unnecessary detail, just fleshes stuff out enough to be quite interesting and keep one guessing ...


The King in the Window by Adam Gopnik. An 11-year-old American living in Paris with his kind of eccentric parents is the main character. Aimed at teens and tweens, probably the Harry Potter crowd, I'm only a third of the way in. It jumps right in and hooks you right away, you empathise the character's struggles with the odd, otherworldy situation he is dealing with, as well as his normal, lonely average 11-year-old existence. Set in Paris in the winter, plenty of "local color" without it becoming overwhelming. Really good so far ....
