Just finished "The Atrocity Archives" by Charles Stross, really fun stuff. The premise is that eldritch cthuloid horrors are held at bay by ... an in-fighting, dysfunctional bureaucracy. Sort of like Stanislaw Lem's "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub," but not as absurd.
Now I'm bookless. All I've got to read is "Three Men in a Boat ... to Say Nothing of the Dog" which I've started five or six times without getting very far, and the latest Chuck Palahniuk, which is composed entirely of short stories, which gets old fast.
Quickly Amazon, save me from my "to read" list!
