Just finished True Grit by Charles Portis. The book was so good that I have to see the new movie.

Now reading The Jack Vance Treasury.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I'm reading "The Lost City of Z", about Colonell Fawcett's ill-fated expedition into the Amazon to find a mythical lost city, and about other people who later went in to try and find out what happened to him. Good stuff.

Just Finished "61 Hours" by Lee Child and started on Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo".

I just saw both "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and "The Girl Who Played With Fire" on bluray and I think that they were both were pretty well done.

The Best of Damon Knight

Short story collection by a master of the form - his "To Serve Man" was adapted into the popular Twilight Zone episode of the same name. Suffice to say that most of his stories have that same sense of dark humor.
