The other thread was entirely too long, so I've created a new one.

I'm still reading J.T. Ellison's Judas Kiss and enjoying it.

I also just finished reading Gregg Hurwitz's run on The Punisher.  He had a 5-part series that just wrapped up, plus two Foolkiller mini-series.  Excellent stories!  I highly recommend them.  All should appear in trade paperback collections soon, I think.....

I am reading three books at once right now, which is unusual for me.  Blind Fall by Christopher Rice, A Flight of Storks and Angels by Robert Devereaux, and Night Class by Tom Piccirilli.

I have never been able to read more than one book at a time.  I even have a hard time picking up a comic book when I'm in the middle of another book.  It's not that I can't keep the stories straight or anything, it just feels wrong to me to do it.

Trust me, I'm usually the same way.  But when I'm nto sure what to read, I usually pick a handful, read the first chapter of each to see which one called to me, and this time all three called to me, so I rotate through all three, reaching one chapter out of each at a time.  They all have caught my intention for very different reasons, so I'm just sticking with all of them.

I'm about to start By the Sword by F. Paul Wilson.  Got my Christmas Presents in today!  My husband and son had gotten me $75 of B&N giftcards and I ordered 5 books that day!  They finally arrived.

I just got Three Cups of Tea from my sweetie...
(still savoring the Night Boat...
I do not want it to end cuz that is it for me til a new one comes out)

I havent' gotten By the Sword yet, I  may wait until paperback.  I love the Repairman Jack series, but I must admit I'm starting to get fatigue.  I feel it is going on a bit too long, and the last one before By the Sword I thought was the weakest of the series so far.  I'm also not crazy about how to accommodate the new series he had to revise The Tomb and will be heavily revising Nightworld.  Still, it's a great character and a great series, so I'll see it through until the end.

I thought the last one dragged a bit too.  But this one jumps right in!  Without giving anything away, its starting to "merge" to make Nightworld make more sense and you'll recognize other "non-jack" books in it.  I'm having trouble putting it down!

I've heard that, I just wonder how heavily he's going to revise/rewrite Nightworld to make it mesh with the Repairman Jack series, because I'm not a big fan of revisionist history in my fiction series.

I think I've said this before here, but I used to be a huge fan of F. Paul Wilson's work.  I started to lose interest when he started doing the medical thrillers, and I really disliked it when he started revising his past works so they fit into the Adversary Cycle way back when.  And those changes were minor compared to the revisions that have happened in recent editions.

I've read about half of the RJ books, and, frankly, I find them mostly boring and not adventurous enough....

I think I would have liked it much better if he hadn't decided to link the Repairman Jack series to Nightworld.  I have never read any of his medical thrillers, that's just never been my thing.  I think Midnight Mass is a really good vampire novel, I will say.  And I loved his collection Soft and Others.  The Barrens and Others I actually haven't read yet but do have it, and I believe he has a new collection coming out sometime soon.

Try BLACK WIND. Maybe Paul's best. It is barely linked to the "cycle".

Veronica, "By The Sword" is now the best RJ novel to me. Enjoy!

Oh, and I'm in "By The Sword" as one character. Did you notice that?

That's my favorite novel of his.
