Michael Crichton - Pirate Latitudes: fantastic read... picked it up at the airport in Charlotte, NC.. and had it done by the time I landed in San Francisco.. yay for layovers.
I have read very little pirate fiction (though plenty of nautical fiction/non-fiction), and this was a real treat. Surprisingly, the unconquerable obstacle the pirates choose to tackle is the easiest obstacle they face in the entire book. Haha... everything you'd want in a tale about pirates is touched upon.
The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor - I enjoy books about "the zombie apocalypse" (if they're done well), and while Kirkman doesn't TOTALLY have writing in the novel format mastered (contrary to his mastery over comic writing), this book was very entertaining. The man who becomes the Governor has been down a hard road indeed, and that road's laid out in graphic detail in this book. Good stuff.
