Depressing how few books I've finished recently! I started about five, and I'm still working on four, but basically without the five-hour flights twice a week I don't have a clear reading slot in my schedule any more.
Bad excuse, I know. So to feel more righteous, I've started reading during the sermon at church on Sundays. Not this book, however: Flyboy action figure comes with gasmask, by Jim Munroe. Fun and quirky, Flyboy is about a University of Toronto grad student who's got a crush on a waitress and a bone to pick with the tobacco industry... and a secret ability to turn into a fly. When he finds out that the waitress also has a secret power, it's clear that they're made for each other. They quickly become the Toronto Sun's worst enemies. I can identify with that. 4 out of 5.
