Colm Toibin's The Story of the Night

Colm Toibin is such an amazing writer. While I haven't read all his works, what I have read is impressive. With a nice writerly style, he is able to describe the complexity of life in such a small space. A nice book about how love and honesty define who we are.

The Sandman: The Doll's House

The Doll's House arc is not the best in the series but Gaiman's average is better than most other's best. I like the Rose Walker character and her connection through the books.

The Arctic Incident

Book Two of the Artemis Fowl series actually held my interest. I'm still unsure how I feel about the lack of integrity in young Fowl and that Butler hasn't taught him the ways of the world yet, but I guess that will keep me coming back for more...
