Yesterday I asked him what he was reading. His reply:

I'm in the midst of finishing my sequel to Anatomy of Fear, which means I am crazed and reading a bit less than usual, but let's see...

In the new book Nate is investigating a case that involves human experimentation so I have been reading all sorts of related material, like Andrew Goliszek's In the Name of Science, and three books by Jonathan Moreno, Director of the Center for Bio-medical Ethics at the University of Virginia, most recently Is There an Ethicist in the House? -- all really fascinating and terrifying stuff.

Also, more of Paul Ekman's face reading books, Emotions Revealed.

In between, I read Malcolm Gladwell's Blink, which is tons of fun, and for diversion I just finished Megan Abbott's Queenpin, an over the top and hilarious noir homage.

Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union is sitting on my night table staring at me and that's up next. Once I finish the book I'll tackle that and more!
