Caliban's Hour
Caliban's Hour, by Tad Williams
This book was made infinitely more interesting by the fact that I had recently seen The Tempest. This is the same Caliban, telling his story to Miranda. Fairly interesting. Not worth another read, though.

I did not like this one so much. Fairly straight line, nothing particularly interesting. People telling "sad" stories that were not particularly sad.

First time I had read this, pretty straight line, but interesting, despite the fact that it was about cats.

The Overlook
The Overlook, by Michael Connelly
I read this book while on vacation. I had finished the last O'connor that I had but I knew there was another one out there and I just needed something to finish the vacation with. This was good, I am sure that one of the next batch that I read will be the Bosch series, if not all of Connelly.

Critique of Criminal Reason
Critique of Criminal Reason, by Michael Gregorio
After reading a whole bunch of fast paced crime novels, this one felt a whole lot slower. However, it was interesting and by the time I got to the end, it was very hard to put down. It takes place in the early 1800's in Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad) in Prussia. It felt a lot like a Sherlock Holmes kind of thing, only the Detevtive in question is constantly feeling inadequate. I enjoyed this one, I might read more by Gregorio, but I don't htink I will pursue it vigorously.
