Will reading the excerpt from the new book be spoilery, or have too many references to Book 1 to make sense? Or should I go read it now to get the motivation to push the first book up the (virtual) stack of books I want to read?

The books are remarkably good and the conversations are always interesting. Also, California Bones was a wonderfully strange and entertaining book, and I can't wait to read the sequel.

I've just politely asked Amazon's Australian Kindle store to stock them, and told them it would be much appreciated if they did. As space constraints mean I'm buying more e-books than books these days, and being intrigued by what I've read about the first book, I would really like to read it on the e-reader I've got. I can only suppose there's some regional rights problem that has previously prevented California Bones from being available in this way to Australians with Kindles.

It will make sense on its own, but it tells you how the first book came out.

I'll pick up a copy sometime soon... maybe after next month's grad student stipend comes in.
