Light Summer Reading

I'm reading A Killing Joke by Mark Daniel right now and loving it. It's a mystery/thriller type book that is doing an excellent job of filling my books-that-don't-make-you-think quota for the summer.

The combination of unpredictable action and quirky English characters has, so far, made this the most entertaining book I've read in a long time. I never fail to be amazed at how much better the English (and the fictional characters they create) are at using the language we and the Americans share with them.
