Fool, the latest book by Christoper Moore, was absolutely fabulous! It's the story of King Lear told from the point of view of Pocket the fool, who we see is really pulling all the strings in the background with a little help from the three witches from MacBeth and a ghost (there's always a bloody ghost). It's amazing to think that Moore's funny, witty, irreverent style could be applied to Shakespeare's stuffy and boring King Lear, but it works quite well. I love everything I've ever read by Moore, so pick up this book or any of his others. You won't be disappointed.I also read Fade, the sequel to Lisa McMann's Wake, about a girl who gets 
sucked into other people's dreams. Over the course of the two novellas the heroine is learning to use control in her dreams and in others. These are both good stories, but they're written as more of a thorough outline than a fully developed book. I like the stories, but I wish wrote more to fill out the story and the characters a bit more. You can skip these books, but if you're looking for something quick and easy to read you might want to check them out.
