Just finished Odd Hours by Dean Koontz, which I thought was the weakest of the Odd series.
I am just starting American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

A Canticle for Leibowitz
I recently received a gift from a friend, three books in one by Dean Koontz. I've already read Whispers, which I thought was a pretty good book, but I have yet to read the other two. I started on Shattered this week and I am rather enjoying it. I can't wait to get to Watchers as well, as this one has been on my "to read" list for ages now.
Just started reading The Book of Fate by Brad Meltzer. Stunning opening and I can tell this one is going to be a page turner. And it struck me that I'm only on page 32 and there's already been more excitement and action than there was in the whole of the book I finished today called The Aztec Heresy. Which made me wonder why I bothered finishing a book I just wasn't into at all. Go figure.
Brad Meltzer! I forgot about this guy. His The Millionaires left a good impression upon my reader's mind. Story told from 1st and 3rd pov. The first book written with this style I'd ever read. Strong voice, interesting topic: the world of financiers.
Once, I remember now, I was killing time in a Barnes&Noble store, browsing the shelves, and Meltzer was having a book signing. I wished I could buy his book, with his signature, but alas I couldn't: I had no money with me and my credit card was in another pocketbook at home. He seemed a nice guy, down to earth. His wife, kid and mother-in-law were there, too. He said that his wife was helping him in the writing process. If I'm not mistaken, they are both lawyers.
Learned my lesson: never go to a bookstore without money.
If you're so excited about his book then I'll check it out. I like his style.
