Eddie's Fancy

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.
