Eddie's Fancy

Finally, the sequel to “The Atrocity Archives” has been released in the US. I loved the first book and this one is as good. This one was much more similar to James Bond than the earlier book, but it wasn’t over done.

A great read for a geeky book lover.

This is cool, I can send a tweet and have it update my facebook status automatically.

I also made a few tweaks to the website during lunch, sorry for any broken links.

I hadn’t ready any Michael Chabon yet, although I’ve heard about “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay”. I saw “Yiddish…” on the shelf and happen to be in the mood for a good alternate-history detective mystery so I picked it up. I then blasted through it in a day and a half. I’m a big fan of Raymond Chandler style detective fiction and this hit the spot with a nice genre background and yiddish humor.

The rest of his stuff is definitely going into the queue.

I really wanted to read Charlie Stross’ new book inspired by Heinlein’s later work, but couldn’t bring myself to pay the hardback price. Half-Price came to my rescue and even had an edition with the nicer, British cover.

A fun read, but perhaps not has good as some of his other books. I’m glad to see The Jennifer Morgue is finally out in the states, time to troll the bookstores again.
