"A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore

I've been curious about this author for awhile, because I like the supernatural. The book was an easy read in a humorous, forgettable manner. Good for the beach or airplane.

"Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell

Read the book because I really enjoyed the movie, which happened to be a flop in the theatre. The book was more subtle than the movie and very well written, but the ending did not give me the same emotional punch as the movie. Realized that this is the author I once heard interviewed on my way to Petawawa to babysit Lucas. I was driving alone, which is a big thing for me. Mitchell really impressed me, so that I even meant to check out his work. Heard his interview a 2nd time some weeks later, coming back from Petawawa with Ray.
