Pirate Latitudes, a posthumously published Crichton novel.

not his style - no jumping between characters and stories then tying it all together at the end. more or less a straight story.

and not nearly as much baiting and intrigue as he usually supplies. though apparently it was written in the early 90s so it kind of makes sense.

nothing really new here, but very entertaining nonetheless. pirates always make for good reading

I'm reading The Ice Man by Philip Carlo right now. It's about Mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski.

Only my second Stephen King book, the first being his newest Under The Dome. I thought it started a little slow, but it's picking up so much speed now I don't see how it could stop. Really creepy. It actually had me walking through my house a couple nights ago with the lights off, thinking surely some creature would reach out of the shadows and grab my neck. That's some good readin'.

Check out The Long Walk, he wrote it under the pseudonym of Richard Bachmen and was probably the first ever "f*cked up" book I ever read.
