My books netted me more cash than I expected at Half Price, so I picked up the above books. For a brief time, there was a cool breeze out there. The humidity makes me cranky though.

Deadwood continues to be astonishingly interesting.

I have the first two but have read neither. Let me know if you read one of them and like it.

Not heard of any of them. Random choice - "The Sandman Book of Dreams", but only if it isn't a collection of short stories!

Prague was sometimes rambly and had a sort of an amorphous plot, but it was also pretty awesome. You should probably be warned that everything actually takes place in Budapest. Prague is just a sort of a concept pervading the book. I think it's worth reading, but maybe not worth reading first. I haven't read the other two.

I'm definitely voting for the Klima. I love his works, and think that Judge on Trial is a particularly good one. I wasn't too keen on Prague, although I think it did do a good job of capturing the time well. But I would suggest reading it with The Russian Debutante's Handbook, to see how two different authors treated the same topic.

I have only seen the first season of Deadwood but so far I am fascinated.

I love how character driven it is. It has some of the best dialog ever.
