Didn't think I'd like it that much. Mr. Green

The System of the World by Neal Stephenson
The end of the baroque trilogy which sees the crowning of the new king George 1st and Isaac Newton protecting the currency of Britain.

Start with the first of the trilogy Quicksilver and the Confusion if you plan on reading them.
I can imagine Gillian playing Eliza.

Strike from the Sky by Alexander McKee. This is a Battle of Britain book which is a pet obsession.
It follows the battle from both sides of the conflict and includes testimony from civilians caught inbetween.

Return of the Crimson Guard by Ian Esselmont
This is a 1000 page book set in Steven Erikson's Malazan empire. To really get the full effect of the book you need to have read at least the first five of Steven's books and Night of Knives by Ian.
If you have then you get the full effect. Wonderful and sad. One of the best reads I have had.

The Lovers by John Connelly
This is the latest Charlie Parker book and now you find out why Charlie's father killed two kids and committed suicide. This again is the fight between GOOD and EVIL writ large. I finished it in two days despite a 300 plus length.
Again this book is better if you have read the other Charlie Parker books as they have lead up to this. And there is the promise(?) of something else to come at the end. I look forward to it.

Death Masks by Jim Butcher This is book 5 in the Dresden Chronicles concerning the wizard Harry Dresden who lives in Chicago. Harry this time has to cope with a duel with the Red Court Vampires, the theft of the Turin Shroud and the return of his semi-Vampiric girlfriend.
Fast moving and fun.

The Great Expectations by Charles Dickens -
Not much to say apart from that I bloody love it.

I'm in this belief that I have to read most of the famous/classic books so eventually next on "my list" was Dickens. I was considering Bleak House, but after learning how many pages are there... I went for a thinner one and left it for summer time or something.

Omerta by Mario Puzo
Another everyday tale of the Mafia and Puzo's last book before his death. What the villains want is outrageous. An easy read.

Dust of Dreams by Steven Erikson
Book 9 of 10 and this is almost complete. Fantasy military with Gods and Magic aplenty. Not the one to start with but for the dedicated fan, very satisfying

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
A very simple tale told in 112 pages. Brilliant

Blood Rites by Jim Butcher The latest (for me) of the Dresden chronicles where Chicago's only wizard in the telephone directory has to stop an entropy curse and finds out things that turn his world upside down.
For this book you need to be familiar with several others in the series. I loved it.

Dead Beat by Jim Butcher The next in the Dresden chronicles wherein the wizard has to stop a bunch of necromancers from taking garnering great power in Chicago.

Roman Blood by Steven Saylor The first of the Gordanius the Finder stories and features a case from Cicero's murder trials in 80 BC. Quite entertaining when you can't use the CSI business.
