It's all your fault that I now own Midnight Riot. :)
Me too, although I have not yet actually started to read it.

Yes.   Moon over Soho and Whispers under Ground are sequels and should be read in order as there is some character development in the sequence.
Like the Three conetts film series: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End

First Steinbeck I've read, first four chapter / 32 pages are very promising indeed. :)

Finished The Monuments Men. I've not seen the movie, but the book wasn't really for me.

With the name Stingo I assume you've read Sophie's Choice?

The Guide for the Perplexed.  So steeped in Aristotlean physics and metaphysics, not to mention Ptolemaic astronomy, it results in enough perplexities that A Guide To The Guide would be a very handy thing.

And for lighter reading Nexus 7 For Dummies.  This tablet thingy does not have a gentle learning curve.

I do believe there is a Guide for the Guide, but why are you reading it?



And oddly I cannot find an image for this text:
