Like many of you, I'm always looking for a new and interesting book to read. What book are you currently reading?

Lady Christina de Pond

i'm currently in Every little thing about you from Lori Wick as well as rereading Eclipse
Helmswoman of the Fiesty Lady
Lady Ashley of De Coals
Militissa in the Frati della Beata Gloriosa Vergine Mari

SandrineDeLaTombe

I'm currently reading "The Prehistory of Sex".  So far, it's really much less lascivious than you would imagine/hope, but still very interesting.

I just finished reading "Dragon Tears" by Dean Koontz and havent yet decided which book I am going to read next.
May the stars always shine upon you and yours.

I loved the first 9-10 books of the Anita Blake series.  But the past several have been too much random sex, not enough story (never thought I'd ever say those words :)) I got half way through Incubus Dreams and was just done. I have heard better things about the most recent ones though.  Do you agree?

I have read the first two and have been trying to find a copy of the third book to continue reading the series.  Although I will admit, I have not searched very hard for the third one, just the local Half Priced Bookstore.

When I sold all of mine back to Half Price books, they said they couldn't keep those books on the shelf, that people came in asking for them all the time.  Those first ones were really good, my favorite was "The Killing Dance".

Currently reading Super Freakanomics. If you liked the frist book, then you'll love this stuff. So much tasty stats to devour and ponder!

Completely.
  I actually wrote LKH a gripe letter about that, and I am very sure I was not the only one.  A few of her books during that phase were pretty much just porn. Shortly thereafter, Obsidian Butterfly saw her start to return Anita to the great supernatural, action-adventure heroine that she is.
  When LKH introduced the Merry Gentry series, she seems to have shifted the Ubersex to there, so if you liked the Woman-with-a-Harem theme (and there are some that do) it's still out there.  It's actually racier than the Vampire Hunter series.
As for me; I was just happy to see Anita getting back to the Executioner business.
