Christopher Paolini is a horrible, horrible writer.

Reading series by Ian Rankin and Barry Eisler right now. Fricking good stuff.

Oh, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Mammoth of a book.

/is reading an amazing mystery book.

It's called "The Alienist"

Set in the very early 1900's. like 1900-1910 I think.
It's about a group of people, one being the alienist, who's job is to look at criminals psychological being and determine if they are insane or not. (Lazlo) He is called, along with the story's main character, John, who is a journalist for the new york post or something, and a few others including Teddy Roosevelt, to track down a serial killer. A killer who gruesomely murders his victims. His victims usually being kids who participate in child prostitution, being gay boys or straight girls. He mutilates the bodys, chops off their genitals and gouges out their eyes. While the corrupt police agency's in New York try to hide the crimes and distort it all, Lazlo, John, Teddy and the others try to track down this killer using heavy psychological processes.



I fucking love this book so far. See I'm in love with Psychology and mystery solving, so the guy at Barnes and Noble's must of been a fucking psychic when he recommended this book. It's so fucking good.


Anyways. Other books I've read:
Power of Five Series- Fucking Great
                                                          > Both by Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider Series- Pretty Decent         

Zombie Survival Guide
                                     >Both by Max Brooks I think. Fucking great, both of them.
World War Z

I don't read much, nothing ever holds my interest enough, such as these above books do.
This whole thing is a travesty.

For starters, Pillz is obviously the sexiest.

But Alex Rider was LUCKY, and managed to fashion a rotating chainsaw out of a turtle, some string and powerplug. YEAH. J/K

The book sounds interesting, I might try it out. And goddammit you are so lucky of having a Barnes and Noble near you. When I visited NY and checked out that bookstore, I stayed hours! I bought more or less 6 books, I think. Would have bought a lot more if money had allowed it.
