The following books are presently on the table next to my very comfy chair:

Reservation Road by John Burnham Schwartz

Beautiful writing, emotional rich, but a little thin on plot. The writer seems to have some trouble crafting separate and distinct lives for his characters. But this is a page-turner; very enjoyable.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss

Lots of fun for punctilious punctuators like me.

Four Past Midnight by Stephen King

I’ve had this one on my shelf for a long time, but left it unfinished. I read a lot of King’s stuff. It’s four novellas: The Langoliers (made for TV movie), Secret Window, Secret Garden (recently a movie with Johnny Depp), The Sun Dog (earlier material for Needful Things), and The Library Policeman. I’m reading the latter piece now, but haven’t come to an opinion about it yet.

I hope you’re enjoying your reading too.
