Those who read many books at a time amaze me. It would drive me nuts.

That said, I am reading a novel called “Declare” and REALLY like it. It is a cold war spy type thriller, but so well written and subtle, with that added fillip of supernatural elements. Muslims figure predominantly along with commies and Great Britain, the French. . . from the 1930s to the 1950s or so. Good read. Recommended.

“Declare” is one of Tim Powers’ books. He’s a great writer. I think that novel may be his most powerful, but I also have a special fondness for “The Drawing of the Dark,” a fantasy novel based on King Arthur travelling to Vienna at the time that the Muslim Turks besieged the city. But all his stuff is good.

Tim Powers is a great read. The forthcoming "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie is supposed to be based off of his "On Stranger Tides", but I dread what they are likely to do with it.

I *love* Tim Powers! Have you read “Last Call” or “Expiration Date”? Excellent work.
