This week I am reading Clive Cussler's 'Trojan Odysse' and another Patricia Cornwell's 'Isle of Dogs'. Do love Cornwell's writing. P.D. James is another favorite of mine.

Why doesn't someone pick a book and moderate a discussion about that one book? Maybe make up a reading list - it seems like a number of you like the same books? I don't think anybody reads my books.

I am reading a book about the power of the supermarkets and how they crush the small traders
so ruthlessly.

I'm about halfway through "Between the Bridge and the River," and there is certainly a lot going on. Craig Ferguson has an interesting mind. LOL.

Just finished reading Tess Gerritsen's Vanish. Powerful book. Am now starting Dixie Carter's Since You're Leaving Anyway,Take Out The Trash. Need something funny to get rid of the evil that was in the other book. I try to balance my reading that way. Laughter is much better than tears.

I just finished "Between the Bridge and the River," and it was endlessly entertaining. There's so much going on in it, I would love to talk about it, if anyone else wants to read it. You can check out the reviews on Borders.com to find out more about the book.

Well, I just checked out the description and it sounds intriguing, Marcia. Though I've never heard of the author as I don't watch a lot of network television, I understand he's a Scot and that the book is quite funny. I'll add this to my list of books to get from Amazon or the library when I've finished the next couple in my stack-o-books. Why don't you start a new thread about the book, and tell us a bit about it and then we'll have a distinct place to go to talk about it once some of us are on the same page (so-to-speak ;D)

I wouldn't know where to begin describing the book, which is why I suggested looking at Borders.com. The link for the book is...http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811853756/qid=1148324691/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-3530406-4308924?v=glance&n=507846
There's so much going on in it, which is why I thought it would be fun to talk about it. There are 2 sequels coming out, which makes my brain hurt a little less trying to figure out if any of it is even real or not. LOL. Craig Ferguson has an interesting mind! :-)

Finished Dixie Carter's book yesterday and I will admit that her 2nd book was funnier. Since you're leaving anyway take out the trash was her first. So she improves as she writes.
Am now reading Iris Johansen's On The Run.

The big heavy book got the better of me and I have swapped for a paperback by Steven King...

Ok I think the book I'm reading is called The Messenger, by Stella Cameron. I hve a hard time remembering the titles to books. I don't really care what it is as long as I have a book I'm reading. In this one I am learning about bicycle messengers. I see them in the tv shows and movies all the time in the crowds but now I'm getting to learn more about what they do.

I have changed the Steven King one and now got a Peter James one - simply because I couldn't get into the King book

Which King book was it, Dave, I don't believe you mentioned which one. And, by the way, do you ever read Dean Koontz's novels?

I read Koontz novels. I like them. I haven't been able to read a Steven King novel in years. At one time I love horror novels. I don't know what I have changed. Do you? LOL

Well, why don't you pick a Koontz novel from the last 2-3 years, read it or re-read it and we'll get a discussion going? Sooner or later, we'll (some of us, anyway) should get on the same proverbial page and discuss a book. Most of my books seem boring to most people. Right now I'm reading "A Death in Belmont" by Sebastian Junger, who wrote "The Perfect Storm" - has anyone even heard of it, much less read it?

Heard of THe Perfect Storm. If you were getting your books at the library I'd think you were going to the dark, cobwebby corner to choose your books.   ;D |

I saw the movie 'The perfect storm' but I guess that doesn't count
