Next - Michael Crichton. So far, so good. I'm definitely enjoying it.

Tales from Outer Suburbia and The Arrival by Shaun Tan. More like admiring the pictures; Shaun Tan's works are thrilling enough just to stare at and still be fascinated an hour later.

Might you even say they take you on an imaginary journey?

I read a book of short stories by him, or at least I think it was by him. Possibly called Twisted? Or something like that... it was pretty good.

I'm reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It's fantastic.

Currently reading The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. Reminds me a bit of China Mieville, not in plot or style, but that so many elements are depraved yet no overtly so...

Are you enjoying this? I heard from someone else that the TV show is better
I would think the TV show would be better, simply because I've been disappointed by most crime books I've read in the past. And Dexter is just awesome in general.
