In this series I note what I am reading and people comment with what they're reading. Sometimes, on Sundays, I post a special edition on a particular genre or topic.

Just finished
The Skin Collector by Jeffrey Deaver. Another in the Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs series. For those who don't know, Rhyme is the foremost expert on crime scenes. He is also a quadriplegic, so he directs investigations by others. All the elements of a Deaver plot are here: Truly nasty crimes, brilliant detective work, a ticking clock.... and lots of interplay among Rhyme, Sachs (his lover and partner), Thom (his aide) and the others in his team. Recommended but grisly.

21st Century Science Fiction ed. by David Hartwell and Patrick Nielsen Hayden. A collection of shorter length SF from the first decade of the 21st century.
The Yamato Dynasty by Sterling Seagrave. The "secret" history of Japan's emperors, especially during World War II and after. A bleak story of how the Japanese people have been manipulated and how MacArthur made people lie about war crimes.
Citizens by Simon Schama. The French Revolution. I found the prologue confusing, but it's getting better as I get into it.
Just started
The Folklore of Discworld by Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson. All about the folklore of Discworld and parallels on Earth. If you're not a fan of Discworld, this is not the place to start; but if you are a fan, it could interest you.
Reread of Titan by John Varley. The first book in the Gaea series. A spaceship exploring Saturn finds a new moon. But it turns out to be much more than a moon. It's alive. Wonderful
