For me it's "Blackwood Farm" by Anne Rice - it's the latest in the Vampire Chronicles

So far it's good, she is starting to blend the Mayfair family into the Vampire Chronicles so am interested in which direction that will go
Some of her writing over the last few years has been sort of whiny with the notable exception of "Merrick"


Before that it was "From a Buick 8" by Stephen King - as King gets older he writes more about people/life/observations and less about things (that go bump in the night) even though the books contain the things that go bump in the night the focus has seemed to turn to the characters and their development and relationships and through that gives looks at life and growth

"From a Buick 8" is OK , it's got ups and downs but King does create characters you can care about in the story and takes a twist in the plot - King is now working on the next books in the Dark Tower series - very much looking forward to see what happens to Roland, Eddie, Susanne and Jake

before that reread "Brave New World" - that book plays on so many levels and I can get many different things out of it - but I still want my Soma
