6th book of the Investigator Renko of the Moscow Police Dept. series, the first book, Gorky Park, was made into a movie which turned out to be a really good watch.

Great series of books!!

His books are quite long

but just so interesting.

lots of cool stories; some i'm familiar with, some are new to me. the book's written in a bit of a screwy order (i.e. not chronological), which hurts some, but the prose is lively enough that i can get past that.

"Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" by Mario Vargas Llosa

Out, loved it so much the first time thru deserved a re-read, it received the Grand Prix for Crime Fiction, Japan's top mystery award back in 1997.

A lot of overlap with Revolutionary Road... I wonder if all his books are like this.

Now that I've finished Empire of Silver I can start in earnest with reading A Game of Thrones.

"The Quants - The maths geniuses who brought down Wall Street " by Scott Patterson

I've been meaning to reread this one after Egypt took center stage in the news, since what little I knew about Egypt came from the chapter on Zawahiri's background. I picked up the paperback, and it's an even more engrossing read than I remembered it being. Turns out there's an HBO documentary about Wright called "My Trip to Al Qaeda", too, and there just so happens to be torrents of it. Noice.

Came home from the library with this today, purely out of morbid curiosity.

Been meaning to read Game of Thrones for the better part of a decade, so I'm trying to cram it into the week left before the show starts.
