I went to the library this afternoon to pick up a copy of the first Harry Potter book because, hey, I figured I might as well get on that bandwagon before it becomes really popular, you know? But when I got there, the library was closed. It was like the Universe had stood up to tell me, "Hey, you: stick with what you know." Which is not meant to be Harry Potter, apparently.

I'm between books right now. I spent part of yesterday afternoon finishing Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which was really awesome, but not the kind of book that you could put down and walk away from for more than a day or so. The plot was dense and there were a lot of people coming and going (and backstabbing and mole-ing). I found that if I didn't sit down and read it for a day or so, I had to backtrack. Overall, though, a really enjoyable book. I'm looking forward to the movie, due out this fall. The next Preston-Child comes out August 2nd. I'm very excited. I've spent the last nine or so summers in the company of Special Agent Pendergast and it's one of the things I look forward to most all year. So, yeah, need to find something to occupy my brain between now and the beginning of August.

Any recommendations? What are you kids reading these days?
