Robert D. Hare's "Without Conscience".
I have a thing for literature about psychopaths.

Excellent book. The followup wasn't as good unfortunately.
Then Everything Changed: Stunning Alternate Histories of American Politics: JFK, RFK, Carter, Ford Reagan, Jeff Greenfield.
JFK just got blown up by a car bomb months before his first inaugural!
Took a bit of a break from Re-Wired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology to read a few graphic novels. I used to do all my comic reading as floppies, but I'm coming around to trade paperbacks. Read three volumes of the current DC House of Mystery series and the first two of the Walking Dead collections, among other things. I'll be getting more.
I love Doomsday Book. Didnt realize she'd written a sequel of sorts. I might have to check out Blackout.
There are three follow-ups: To Say Nothing of The Dog and the two-part novel Blackout and All Clear. I think I fully intend to check them out.
I finished Burn Notice: The End Game the other day. I'm a little disappointed in it. The characterizations and dialogue seem very accurate, but it took forever for anything to happen, and when stuff did happen, well, not much happened. There was no shooting or explosions (well except for one near the beginning that didn't even have much of a connection to the story, and for which the main characters weren't even responsible).
I'm now about half way through Starfleet Academy: The Delta Anomaly. So far it's pretty interesting but the references to
are very obvious and kinda spoil the mystery behind who the killer is, unless of course that's just a red herring. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get to the end.

I just finished Diplomatic Immunity (in the Vorkosigan saga), and I started Cryoburn. Unfortunately, there aren't any spaces between paragraphs in my e-book copy of Cryoburn, but I can at least tell the end of a paragraph by the tiny bit of space to the right of the last line. Plus, there's a space between sections, so it's not all bad.
Watching the TV-mini series of Follett's great novel "Pillars of the Earth" last weekend made me finally start to read "World without End", to see how the story of Kingsbridge and its citizens continues.
The start of a new paragraph in most (good) ebook is, like in paper books, indicated by an indentation.
Spacings between paragraphs are just a waste of display-space; and you don't see them in paper books either.

They're starting to film "World Without End" as a miniseries in a month or two. Just FYI.
Really?
Cool.
I'm only about half-way into "World without End" but it's not as good as "Pillars of the Earth" - a book you should really read if you liked the series; a few things play out differently in the novel.
