The Disunited States of America by Harry Turtledove.

On the Dresden Files novels:

Better than the TV series.  Good little detective novels if you don't like to think too hard.

I do my reading in my bedroom, and never report a new book right away - burned through two yesterday.

Mindbridge and Tool of the Trade both by Joe Haldeman.

Finally getting my hands on Brimstone by Preston/Child.  Next Pendergast novel I've been trying to find since I started this thread.

 


The Casque of Amantillado was better when it wasn't 500 pages....Pretty much straight copying with some other classic detective stories copied to fill in the 500 pages.  They even acknowledge this was done on purpose at the end of the book afterword.  WTF?   


For the first time I'm on the fence with these guys.  This was a stark departure from the previous books.  This was the first in a trilogy, and I'm less than exhuberent about moving on to #2.

A Treasury of Great Science Fiction  Volume Two edited by Anthony Boucher.

The final story, the novel The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester, never fails to entertain - and this was something like my sixth reading since I was 12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stars_My_Destination

Dance of Death by Preston/Child. 

Next in the series.  We'll see how it goes.  (they didn't have the next book in the dresden files, so this'll do.)
