Spin -- Robert Charles Wilson (really good sci-fi)
Axis -- ditto (ditto) part 2 of the Spin Trilogy, awaiting release of Vortex, part 3
Olive Kitteredge -- Elizabeth Strout (a cautionary tale?)

time out to catch up on a couple of New Yorkers....

More reading

while feeling lousy from an allergic reaction to a shingles shot.

True Confections: A Novel -- Katharine Weber (all you ever wanted to know about candy)
The Watchman: A Joe Pike Novel -- Robert Crais (move over Jack Reacher)
Beat the Reaper -- Josh Bazell (ten stars! move over Joe Pike AND Jack Reacher)
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet -- Jamie Ford (more like the corner of boring and bland)
Let the Great World Spin -- Colum McCann (could not finish it -- some say the best novel of 2009, I say the best insomnia cure)

Now working on Spin -- Robert Charles Wilson (so far, can't put it down....)
