just finished Lunar Park by Brett Eason Ellis (American Psycho, Less than Zero )

it was really weird, had many elements of horror, and then ended in a strange way . . . i'm still not sure how i feel about it.

I just finished reading Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan, and with this my Wheel of Time reading is complete. I feel a little sad now. Anyway, this one was a fantastic volume. Things are really ramping up toward the conclusion, and I can barely wait. Two more years... grrrrr.

Just finished the same book myself, absolutely loved it. You could tell all the pieces were being put in place during Crossroads of Twilght and he's really done well bringing things along to set things up for the last book. Its just shit waiting so long for the next one.

Just out of curiosity, what was your favorite part of KoD? Myself, I loved the chapters with Mat and Tuon. The Toy/Precious stuff just really cracked me up. I'd have to say that those two are a perfect match.

Thats a really difficult one. There were so many parts of the book that had me smiling because some ongoing part of the story had concluded or some purpose had been made clear. Probably the Mat/Tuon storyline was the most enjoyable as we've been waiting for this since book 4 but i liked the final elimination of the Shaido, especially as all the archers from the Two Rivers showed up. Really looking forward to the Lan/Malkier story, cant wait to see how that turns out. Its enough to make you re-read the entire series in the hope by the time you've finished book 12 will be out!

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

First novel I have read by Palahniuk. Certainly bizarre enough and funny in a very twisted way.

Every Dead Thing by John Connolly

His debut novel; one of two of his I haven't yet read....I absolutely love this author by the way. I was wondering if anyone else here was a fan, but I haven't seen him mentioned.
