When I'm home I'm reading Will Beall's L.A. Rex. Will is my nephew and this is his first novel. He's an LAPD cop, now working homicide, but he spent 10 years on the gang and drug task force in South Central and those streets and that world are where his novel is set. It got picked as one of the top ten fall books by GQ and has already been optioned for a movie. Pretty gritty and rough. It's gotten great praise, including a great jacket blurb from the guy who wrote the Spencer for Hire books.

When I'm out and about I have David Weber's Honor Harrington series on my PDA as ebooks and I'm re-reading them in anticipation of the new one due next year. I just finished the 3rd one and am well into the 4th.

Honor Harrington on a PDA! Oh Yeah! Nearing then end (At All Costs) of a re-read, all on the PDA. Gotta love Baen Books!
