If any of you are looking for NYC related Historical fiction, I highly recommend Pete Hamill's Forever. I've read 300 pages today alone, 170 yesterday, and I plan to finish it after I update this blog. I am drawn to Hamill's writing style like moths to a flame (with opposite results ). Caleb Carr's The Alienist and Angel of Darkness is always an excellent read too.
For those looking for more of a scare out of their evening read, I highly recommend The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Bram Stoker will never appear the same ever again...
Don't forget to vote in the poll over on the top left corner of my blog...
What's everyone reading these days?

I'm reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell at the moment. It's a good story; the writing's all over the place though. She head-hops shamelessly, which takes me out of the book.
I'll be going back to Wilbur Smith's The Quest next. I gave it up about one third of the way through because the writing was driving me nuts. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't feel polished enough to be published.
I'll check them out, how's your manuscript editing coming along?
