What's more, he ran out of books to read.
His favourite fiction at the moment is Mike Carey's supernatural noir series of Felix Castor
I wasn't convinced I'd find him anything he'd like. It's always tough choosing what to read after you've just finished the latest book in your favourite series. And I'd have to agree that the Felix Castor books are very good.
Perhaps I'm biased as they are set in my own home city of London and show such a wonderfully intimate knowledge of the capital that you can easily visualise the streets, buildings and even back alleys where Mike Carey sets his books' action. One of the places Felix Castor is often depicted visiting is Bunhill Fields cemetery - London's oldest graveyard - which is, incidentally, a place I often visit in my lunch hours from work, to sit and read a book.
What my local library did have was the Dresden Files

On the shelf entitled New Books, I saw a lovely hardback called Myths and Legends
Although you could criticise it as being a bit of a coffee table volume, I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. It might not go into great depth on any one area but it is full of fascinating tales and information.
I'm going to use it to pick The Bad Witch's God or Goddess of the Week until I have to take the book back - that is if I can wrest it from my partner, who seemed more interested in browsing through it than in reading the Dresden Files book I'd picked for him.

I heart Felix Castor books! I haven't read this one but it's good to know that the books don't lose their appeal.
