Why I’m reading THE APE MAN’S BROTHER should be self-explanatory. As for SWAN SONG, I think everyone in the entire fucking world recommended this book to me. I’m finally getting around to it. I haven’t read a lot of McCammon’s…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: 1421: THE YEAR CHINA DISCOVERED AMERICA by Gavin Menzies
The concept is very interesting, and when I first started, I was hoping for solid evidence of this. I haven’t found much so far, and I’m not likely to get it later, since I just found out that just about…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: LOST DISCOVERIES by Dick Teresi
This one looks like a fascinating read. The idea is that some scientific discoveries go farther back in time than most of us think, like the actual shape of our solar system was theorized long before Copernicus, for example. This…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: TIME AND AGAIN by Jack Finney
I’ve read a few stories by Finney, and I liked them. However, I loved the shit out of THE BODY SNATCHERS. This will be the second novel of his I’ve read, and he’s gotten me hooked on the first page.…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES by Alex Boese
Hoaxes always fascinate me, and this book looks pretty promising. It starts out with a gullibility test, which I think is pretty cool. I did well on it, too. Not perfect, but better than average, I would say. This one…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: NO SANCTUARY by Richard Laymon
Because, you know. Laymon, for fuck’s sake.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: TAINTED BLOOD by Mary Ann Mitchell
This is another installment in her de Sade series, but I’m not a big fan of it. I have it in my collection because I was a member of Dorchester’s horror book club. Since I have it, I might as…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE CITY AND THE STARS by Arthur C. Clarke
I haven’t read a lot of Clarke’s work, just some short stories and his 2001 series (of which my favorite is probably 3001). This one looks pretty exciting. The last city on earth, surrounded by a vast desert? And someone…
WHAT I’M READING NOW: INFINITE POSSIBILITIES by Robert A. Heinlein
As you all know by now, I’m a huge Heinlein fan. This one collects three of his juvenile adventures for the pulps. I’ve never read any of his YA material before, so this should be interesting.
WHAT I’M READING NOW: DOUBLE DEAL by Michael Corbitt and Sam Giancana
Wow. This book is written by a dirty cop who wound up working for famous Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana. This guy got caught, and instead of turning rat on the mob, he decided to go the omerta route and…
