Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

    I got into Connelly books because of his Lincoln Lawyer books I like courtroom drama. I’ve read all of them and decided to read the rest of his books in order because i like his writing style.

    Most of them are about Harry Bosch, a detective. Some of them, including Chasing The Dime have a different protagonist. I am only now getting into it, but it’s not as good as the Bosch series. It’s rather OK.

    Usually if you start reading a Connelly book you know pretty early if you’ll like it or not. He doesn’t beat around the bush and you have a murder victim right away in the first chapter.

      Yeah, I didn’t know he has written Lincoln Lawyer books until I looked him recently. The Black Echo is his first book I think. Harry Bosch series # 1. If I like it, will get his next books.
