Finished 'Iron House' by John Hart. Pretty good. Never heard of this guy before, but his bio says his previous two books both won Edgars. Will probably check them out at some point.

'We The Animals' by Justin Torres. Really liked it - unique voice, characterization - until it took the usual Iowa Writer's Workshop 'twist' at the end. Let's hope he drops that nonsense for his sophomore effort.

Just finished Vince Flynn's series on the Mitch Rapp character.

...just started Micheal Crichton's ''Pirate Lattitudes"

I liked the Mitch Rapp novels, lately I have been reading James Lee Burke`s Dave Robicheaux novels.

You might like Lee Childs character Jack Reacher. His work is similar to the Mitch Rapp stuff, not bad.

Love the Jack Reacher stuff. A bit silly, what with an ID-less, money-less protagonist wandering around kicking ass, but an awful lot of fun. Haven't read it, but the reviews said the last book is the best Reacher, by far. I'll keep an eye open for it.

Just finished Teju Cole's 'Open City.' Book got a lot of praise last year, and I can see why: flashes of brilliance, and reminiscent of Camus and Sebald-loner-type protagonists. However, there were big stretches where he was all over the place, and kind of messy. One to watch.

Are you now offering book self-criticism!? That's either farked up, or brilliant.
