I've just read my first ian fleming bond book, thunderball and yeah, it was ok

currently reading from first to last, the second omnibus of damon runyon stories. i think i mentioned the first, on broadway a while back. really i can't recommend his work enough. i feel a resonance with pratchetts work - a sort of innocent cynicism of his characters, -

I've just finished 'The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared'. It's lovely and funny

I'm reading that too at the moment! I really like it, only had to get used to the style of humour at first

I've just read the first volume of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. If you think Yu-Gi-Oh! is only about card games, think again. We have curses ranging from permanently pixelated vision to an overloud heartbeat, and bizarre and deadly games ranging from a contest using a knife, banknotes, and the back of one's hand, to a form of table hockey played on a hot grill with an ice puck filled with an explosive test-tube. I wish I was making this up. And the games in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga are very much the 'do not try this at home' variety. It's dark, and a bit weird, but pretty good, surprisingly so.

I got on to Harlan Ellison and Barry B Longyear through those Hugo/Nebula winners books.

I'm reading American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett. Grabbed it at the library on a whim and I'm having a hard time putting it down!

Some places are too good to be true.
Under a pink moon, there is a perfect little town not found on any map.
In that town, there are quiet streets lined with pretty houses, houses that conceal the strangest things.
After a couple years of hard traveling, ex-cop Mona Bright inherits her long-dead mother's home in Wink, New Mexico. And the closer Mona gets to her mother's past, the more she understands that the people of Wink are very, very different ...
