I still have to do Silence and Hannibal, but I read Rising first because it is a prequel.

I'd already started Red Dragon before I knew there was a prequel and continued chronologically from there. But I watched the Hannibal Rising movie, which was kind of a letdown, and reading the book stopped being a priority.

The Story.
basically it's the Bible, written as a novel.

I'm reading the novelization of Sons of Anarchy:

Occasionally dipping into a short story from this:

And also trying to finish this:

I juggle books almost as badly as I juggle TV shows.

The ending is so great. It's one of my favourites in science fiction. I think the ending to Maze of Death would have been a great ending for Lost.

Cthulhu's Reign, edited by Darrel Schweitzer.
Anthology of short horror fiction regarding the fate of humans after the reawakening of Great Cthulhu, and the apocalyptic return of the Old Ones. So far, very good short fiction.

The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck.

This is my introduction to Steinbeck (I've never read Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden before; shocking right!) The writing is better than I expected, to be honest. I especially like some of the descriptive passages in Chapter Three.
