It's high time for a break from fantasy and sci-fi books. Need a little mystery in your life? Meet Albert Campion. While author Margery Allingham is no Agatha Christie, her characters and plot ideas are quite good. Her writing style and deliverance of the story, however, is somewhat lackluster and predictable. It's still a decent enough read, although if you're prone to figuring out the ending before finishing a mystery, this may not be the book for you.

Music Review: Muse- Black Holes and Revelations
Featuring the song "Supermassive Black Hole," this album has some really good, make-you-move tracks as well as some slower ones. All Muse, and all British rock, though. Again, this is something you may not hear much on the radio in the US, but it's fun. Not everyone who hears their sound will like it (granted), but I'd recommend at least a listen. Favorite songs of mine on this disc include "Starlight," "Take a Bow," "Map of the Problematique," and "Knights of Cydonia."
