You Suck, A Love Story   Christopher Moore
Second novel of the vampire trilogy. Now, Tommy is also a bloodsucking fiend and the lovers are trying to dodge the vampire who turned Jody and is trying to kill Tommy. More bumbling, hilarity, and the introduction of the new minion, Abby Normal, one of the great characters of vampire fiction. Still entertaining.

Bloodsucking Fiends, A Love Story   Christopher Moore
First volume of Moore’s vampire trilogy about Jody and Tommy and how she becomes a vampire and chooses Tommy as her minion. Funny, lighthearted, and endearing. Enjoyed the characters, the deft prose, and the love story. Very enjoyable.

A Spy by Nature   Charles Cumming
Very well written and constructed spy novel about the recruitment and failure of the spy Alec Milius. Industrial espionage against the Americans in the search for oil. Because of his personal inadequacies, Milius wrecks everything he gets involved in and harms those he loves. Really disliked the character, but very well done.
