But..I like both. Hmm...
( Cat Logic )
I also just finished reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher, the first novel in the Dresden Files. I rather liked it, even if it was told in first-person narrative, a style that I sometimes can't get into. It worked well in the Myth books by Robert Asprin, and was ok in the first few novels of the Anita Blake series, before I got so fed up with them that I refused to read another. Here it works as well, being almost a tradition of detective type novels to be narrated in this style. Harry Dresden is a likable character, and is refreshingly not overpowered, as many in the "supernatural fiction" genre tend to be.
The bookstore didn't have volume two when I went there yesterday, so I contented myself with Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and The Pessimist's Guide to History by Doris Flexner and Stuart Berg Flexner, a compendium of historical disasters, mayhem and catastrophes. Whee.
