Just finished Mike Carey's The Devil You Know.

More or less disenchanted with Chris Roberson's Paragaea: A Planetary Romance, I wanted to close the year on a more positive note. Right off the bat I realized that this supernatural thriller was exactly what I needed to end 2007 in style. Indeed, I was sucked into the story in no time. It was a lot of fun to read about Felix Castor's misadventures. A freelance exorcist, Castor is trying to quit the business. In need of cash, he has no choice but to accept what seems to be a simple ghost-hunting gig. But Castor soon finds himself in a position where he must solve a mysterious murder case before being killed himself.

If you're looking for an entertaining paranormal thriller, look no further. The Devil You Know should scratch that itch!

Check out the blog for the full review.

What are you reading in Dragonlance? (as in: Dragonlance is too big a word for 100+ books, narrow it down to the Trilogy/sequence/series, etc)

I'm actually considering picking Up theTaladas Trilogy.... at least book 1, just to see what's it's all about.

some silly collectors edittion or something. It contains the following three books:
1-Dragons of Autumn twilight
2-Dragons of winter night.
3-Dragons of spring dawning.
It is fun, but really doesnt compare to MBotF.
