What are you reading right now?

No, I haven't read that one, Herm. I know WAY more about the French Revolution than Henry VIII besides some facts here and there like you couldn't look at him in the eyes.
Didn't he poison Queen Catherine on her death bed? Is that what they thought that black growth on her heart was?

I don't think he poisoned her, but who can say for sure? I wouldn't be surprised. He seemed awful! To all his wives, I really tried to find some shred of goodness in him through my readings but I found none.

Cogan's Trade by George V. Higgins

It's been awhile since I've read a crime novel and I always liked the Dennis Lehane crime novels that take place there, and I've been meaning to watch Killing Them Softly so I figured this was as good a book to read as any.

Yeah I've heard that from a lot of people. I've also heard the beat down Ray Liotta's character takes is one of the most uncomfortable scenes to ever be filmed. I'm hoping it will end up on Netflix sometime in the near future. Unfortunately I'm not enjoying the book all too much, but as it's so short I'm persevering.

I have so many good memories of reading Anne Rice's vampire novels. Lestat is one of, if not my favorite, literary character of all time. But for some reason I just never got around to reading her Mayfair witches novels. Well, I was a ****ing moron cause I'm about a hundred pages in and totally absorbed. It's mostly been flashbacks and back story so far and yet she's made it in no way dull, or let it hurt the narrative flow. She just manages to draw you in bit by bit by giving you just enough information to kind of know what's going on, but not enough that you're ever satisfied, so you're always waiting breathlessly for every little tid bit. The only bad thing is that since I've already read Blood Canticle, I already have a very general idea of what's going on, but it still manages to hook me.

This is written in (mostly) phonetic Scottish English but not as hard to read as Trainspotting, I enjoy it so far

Is there a thread for book recommendations? Sort of like the ones we have for music. I thought there was but I can't find it.
