What was the last good book you read?

William Gibson's Zero Hour. I started reading Stehpen King and have read almost everything he has written but I absolutely love everything Gibson has written and have read them all at least twice besides his newest which is the one I just finished.

Just read this tonight. It's a graphic novel, doesn't take very long. It's nice and simple in how Ames bares his soul. I really like that quality about it. I didn't see anything pretentious about it. It's just here's the facts and there's no moral stance or hero making. Ames is becoming a bit more well known due to his writing the HBO show "Bored to Death", which has the same quality about it and which I find sort of refreshing. Try it, it only takes a couple of hours. Ames also performs live speeches... I guess... which are cool (The Moth-stories told live without notes).

Two more very good books: His Master's Voice by Stanisław Lem and The Way of the Kings by André Malraux (both intellectual, while entertaining, novels -- the later sort of an "Indiana Jones" for grown ups based on the authors own experiences in French Indochina.)

Off to the bookstore, I really need to pick this one up. I've been a fan of his for about a decade now, but I especially really like the direction he has taken since Pattern Recognition - it feels a lot more mature and developed to me. I'll stop there :-)
