other than the new s.k. (very, very good) all my recent reads are older books: recently finished a vampire book called 'blood kin' by richard kelly - not too bad in a b-movie sort of way; richard laymons 'into the fire' very good, of course; and am now well into mark frost's 'the 6 messiahs' - a sequel of sorts to his great 'the list of 7'.
