1) L.A.Dead by Stuart Woods: Stone Barrington(!) the ex-cop turned lawyer investigates
the murder of a movie star...who just happens to have married his ex-girlfriend!
2) New Eves ed.by Frank,Stine,& Ackerman: SF stories with women as main
characters. Some stories damn good, others not...
3) All The Rage by Ian 'Mac' Maclagan: Ex-Small Face & Face tells his version of
life as he lived it. Interesting stuff, one of the bettter autobios I've read.
4) Year's Best Horror Stories XX ed.by Karl Edward Wagner: Is it just me, or do
horror stories (as opposed to novels) just not scary anymore? A few good ones
in here, but nothing that made me look for more by the same author.
5) Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke: Well, this was different, a large
sprawling covering the period 1807-1817 in England. But not quite the real England
as the 2 protagonists bring Magic back to England and get involved in historical
events such as the war against Napoleon. Very odd, but if you like large sprawling
novels, then this one may be for you.
6) Native Tongue by Carl Hiaasen: Another zany romp through South Florida containing
blue-tongued voles, theme parks, phone sex, burglars, land developers, the Mafia,
and a sex-crazed dolphin!!!! This gut just gets funnier every time I read him...
