I am now reading Robert Bloch's Psycho's.

At the minute I'm reading two books - A Clash of Kings from the Game of Thrones series (I want to read the books before watching the TV series) and also re-reading Dracula.

Expiration Date - Duane Swierczynski

From Booklist

Swierczynski (Severance Package, 2007) originally planned to write this beguiling, pulp-style mix of fantasy and mystery as a magazine serial, but when the New York Times Magazine bowed out of the fiction business, he turned it into a stand-alone novel. Mickey Wade, an unemployed journalist, moves into his grandfather’s apartment in the family’s old Philadelphia neighborhood and, after gobbling a few aspirin to fight a hangover, finds himself beamed back to the day of his birth in 1972. Turns out those weren’t your garden-variety aspirin but, rather, the pills a crackpot scientist had created as part of a government-funded plan to investigate out-of-body travel. Only, in Mickey’s case, he can only go back to the early 1970s. But there’s plenty to do there: if he can somehow divert the young boy who will eventually murder Mickey’s father, he can change his family’s history. Swierczynski cleverly melds the thriller and fantasy elements (especially the notion of nonlinear time), producing a thoroughly readable, suspenseful romp that evokes John D. MacDonald’s pulp classic The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything. --Bill Ott

Recently I finished, Dead Six by Larry Correia and Mike Kupari

From Elitist Book Reviews

Here is what I like the most about this novel. I absolutely love the way the two PoVs contrast, yet have similarities. They are very much like opposite sides of the same coin. When they start having indirect interactions with each other, the enjoyment factor for the reader skyrockets. Then when they have direct interactions, it gets even better. This is the reason why I've always been a fan of collaborations. When both authors feed off of each other, the story's quality is insanely awesome. This is truly a case where the novel is greater than the sum of its two fantastic parts.

I'm reading The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

With this new book, I invite you to journey to Berlin during Hitler’s first year in power, 1933, in the company of a real-life father and daughter from Chicago who suddenly found themselves transported to the heart of the city. They had no conception of the harrowing days that lay ahead. At the time, nothing was certain—Hitler did not yet possess absolute power, and few outsiders expected his government to survive. The family encountered a city suffused with energy and optimism, with some of the most striking, avant-garde buildings in the world. Its theaters, concert halls, and cafés were jammed; the streets teemed with well-dressed attractive people. But my two protagonists were about to begin an education that would change them forever, with ultimately tragic consequences.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Piersig.
This will be the third time - always something new in there to be found. Often a simple sentence will leave you putting the book down and contemplating things from a whole new angle.
The Reality Dysfunction is also excellent - perhaps one of the best books I've ever read. The series is magnificent in scope and well worth hunting down.

I just started reading Fever of the Bone by Val McDermid.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Monster by A. Lee Martinez
The Shadow and Night by Chris Walley
Ultimatum by Matthew Glass
Hyperion by Dan Simmons

I sort of alternate between multiple books at a time. Keeps the stories fresh.

I'm reading A Dog of Flanders by Marie Louise de la Ramée.

A Game of Thrones - George R.R Martin

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to.
Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

I always read the book version of the great "new" shows first.

I'm reading Ghosts I Have Met and Some Others by John Kendrick Bangs.

Read far too much "heavy" matter over recent months so now i am on a fiction mission to relieve the aching brain. That means i am now working through the Genghis Khan series by Conn Iggulden and also my Robert Rankin collection for some general craziness (cos who doesn't want to know about Christine, Jesus' twin sister who is severely pissed at being edited out of the New Testament?).
