I agree about The Mourner. It seems that at this stage Stark wasn't quite sure of his approach to Parker, or was possibly writing Parker into a novel rather than writing a Parker novel. And the character Handy seems a bit off to me. But I love any and all Parker.

THE STRAIN: by Guillermo Del Toro
Someone described it as BLADE meets CSI with a little DAWN of the DEAD thrown in and I can't think of a better description.

Al -
Tommyknockers was the beginning of the end of my love for all things King. Everything after that is unreadable.

I agree Andrew, I gave up on King after that, although I did try reading a couple of his later books. I'm using 'Under The Dome' as a doorstop! Right now I'm reading 'The Mists of Avalon' at work and the 2nd volume of Michael Palin's diaries at home.

"Don't Think of an Elephant," George Lakoff's excellent cognitive study of framing in political discourse. I'll probably pick up Tina Fey's book, "Bossypants" next week. I'm getting back in Michael Moorcock's "Von Bek" anthology. Comics: I just bought the New Ways to Die, New Ways to Live Spider-Man books to see what this whole Anti-Venom is all about. I'm also filling in backissue gaps in Winick's "Under the Hood" arc and Hickman's F4.

The Wall: Rome's Greatest Frontier by Alistair Moffat. I'm about halfway through and I'm thoroughly entertained while also getting a lot of information on Britain of the 4th and 5th centuries. Really well done. Next up; have to decide between Desert Spear by Peter Brett and Changes by Jim Butcher.
