I did Moorcock quite heavily when I was about 14-15 (Corum, Hawkmoon, Elric) but haven't really been in the mood since.

And I learned quite early on that reading Lovecraft last thing at night in an empty house is not a clever idea.

American Psycho was a brilliant book. I need to buy some of his other work.

Currently I am reading "God is not great" by Christopher Hitchens. It is very good so far.

Eurgh. Note to self - stop reading books that prove you're the world's biggest softy.

Still reading the Boudica books, and just had a really good cry at a sad part :cry:

Kelley Armstrong - No Humans Involved.

Medium and a werewolf try to help some trapped ghosts. Romantic bollocks thankfully kept to a bare minimum.

Reading Memoirs of a master forger by William Healey at the moment. Very good, although William Healey is actually the main character, so all a bit odd. Not sure who actually wrote it cause it doesn't say on the book!!

Working my way through HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon. The last story I read was The Music of Erich Zann. And very creepy it was too.
Herbert West, Reanimator was like reading/watching parts of both films but set in a different era.

Just started The Lurking Fear.

Chris Kuzneski - Sword of God

Couple of ex-Special Forces get pulled back in to find out what happened to a missing black ops team. Decent but not outstanding and if he pulls the "twist" I think he is going to pull I shall be miffed.
