Read any good books lately?

I'm currently reading Dracula for my FB book club.  I've been pleasantly surprised - the language isn't bulky like many other books from that time period.  Van Helsing's long speeches are a liitle hard to follow, but overall, the story is really flowing.  I highly recommend it.

Nope. Nor any bad books. It's been a while since I read something thicker than a menu.

I'm reading "When They Were Boys" by Larry Kane. It's about The Beatles' early years; I highly recommend it for all Beatlemaniacs out there.

I recently enjoyed Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China, by Paul French. I also liked The Monster of Florence, by Douglas Preston. Both are nonfiction crime books.
Now I'm reading A Journal of the Plague Year, by Daniel Defoe.

Oh, I also liked Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood Feeding Creatures, by Bill Schutt. A recent read that really grew on me somehow was Central Park in the Dark: More Mysteries of Urban Wildlife, by Marie Winn

During one of the flights I started to read Wool, it seemed interesting but the book I downloaded was very short, so I need to pay for the real version I guess.

Also Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh.

Cactus, I read The Monster of Florence earlier this year. It was pretty good.
