Ready anything great lately? Want to share? Add it here.

I'm currently working my way through Agatha Christi right now, and I particularly recommend "And Then There Were None." It is extremely gripping, and, as a friend described it, the origins of Saw (but without so much gore). If you do read it, I recommend following it up with the recent BBC adaptation mini series.

Anyone else read anything good lately?

But one of my favorites is Much Ado About Nothing, A Shakespeare play.

I just started the Sword of Shannara trilogy recently, but just before that I read Neil Gaiman's Stardust (strong recommend).

Before that I re-read the Pit Dragon trilogy by Jane Yolen—I'd read the first two books in middle school, and then again in high school, and had never been able to find the third book. I finally found the trilogy in ebook format and got to revisit (and finish!) the series. The first book was every bit as good as I remembered; the second was pretty middling and the third was a satisfying enough conclusion but overall a pretty mediocre story.

At some point last year I read The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue. It's a delightfully creepy nouveau New England Gothic tale that made my teeth itch in exactly the right way. It's a little slow to start, but once it gets going it's tough to put down.
