I recently read the Machine of Death, a collection of short stories set in a world where there's a machine that tells you how you're going to die. Really good. http://machineofdeath.net/ There are free pdfs to download on the site here, and the book is available from amazon.com and soon to be available from amazon.ca and meatspace bookstores.

Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld

Started and finished it in the last couple of days. It was good, but his writing style is kinda meh. And it's going to be awhile before I can get my hands on a copy of the next one. :(

*grins*

Guess what I got today?

Look, I only bought it because it was 30% off at the local Coles, and because the stupid library won't finish catalouging. It's 15 bucks that I shouldn't have spent, and it'll be awhile before I can finish it, but I'm happy.

*grins some more* :D

I spent 5 dollars on mine. =D

But I would have spent the full 20 anyways.

Agatha Christie ~ The ABC Murders (Spanish: El Misterio de la Guía de Ferrocarril)
Don't you hate it when you know who the murderer is from the beginning?

No, I was not. It was my first time reading it.
[+] Spoiler
I failed. Poirot won 8D.
I'd forgotten that Agatha Christie was not that predictable. Because, how could Alexander Bonaparte Cust be the ABC murderer in an Agatha Christie story?
*Spoiler warning just in case :P *
Anyhow, I still dislike those books starting with a chapter written from the killer's POV.

Miss Marple is rather boring. Ever read Tommy and Tuppence? Superintendent Battle based books are rather nice too.

Yes, she is. :-/
I have read a Tommy and Tuppence one (By the pricking of my Thumbs), and it is one of my favs.
Although Poirot owns them all, IMO.

Of course, Hercule Poirot is the best. =D
He is one detective who comes close to being as good as Sherlock Holmes.

Can't beat Sherlock Holmes. He is pure awesome. (Also his modern revival on the BBC is very awesome.)
