The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner. It is the story of a young woman who is on the verge. She is fascinated with motorcycles and speed and wishes to turn them into art.

Just finished The Keep by F Paul Simon and started The Tomb by him. I've heard good things about the Repairman Jack series so I'm looking forward to meeting this character.

Quite liked the Repairman Jack series despite the fact that I'm not a big horror fan. Jack is pretty badass and I'm always a fan of badass. Speaking of badass, I started the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn and would recommend it for fans of Jason Bourne and James Bond. Seems like they are making a movie as well called American Assassin.

So, got about halfway with the Mitch Rapp books before he started annoying me as a character. Let's just say that when a writer takes time to establish a character while writing a series and then suddenly have him act out of character for no reason whatsoever except apparently to please some SJW agenda it is not only jarring, but leaves me as the reader confused and angry.
Anyway, that made me want to read about a real tough guy, the original professional counterassassin himself, Matt Helm. Written by Donald Hamilton I loved these books when I was growing up and now that I've nearly re-read the whole series I have to say I enjoyed them just as much the second time around. This is not a guy whose conscience suddenly gets in the way of doing his job - and his job is hunting and killing bad guys.

Gotta be honest, both of them I prefer the books and didn't read the comics that much. However, I read the Tarzan/Batman crossover as well as the Tarzan vs Predator mini series and enjoyed them both.
I finished the Farseer Trilogy. Pretty sad ending, but not at all what I was expecting. Fitz is a great character, and I cant wait to revisit him in future trilogies. I'm going to start Liveship Traders next.
I'm not saying the actually concepts of the books themselves are juvenile. It was the authors writing and the weird quirks he tried to give the main character. I just didn't jive with me.
Currently I'm reading Why Men Want Sex And Women Need Love by Allan and Barbara Pease. Quite a good book for background knowledge of love in psychology point of view.
