Like them all....John D. MacDonald is my all time favorite.

:thumbup: I Agree. He's Awesome. I really like Travis Mcgee and the busted flush plus it's all based out of Florida!

Bad Monkey by carl Hiaasen. It's a hoot.:BigApplause:

Great reads for my booklist
 

on this post. I write them on the list I keep in my Nook.

Currently reading "The Round House," by Louise Erdich. Only 60 pages in, but good so far, set on a North Dakota Indian reservation, contemporary, and the narrator is a 12 yr old Indian boy, facing some personal tragedies in his family.

Not my typical read - this is for a book club - but I am finding it to be good.

Now reading "The Hit" by David Baldacci.
It's really good so far.

I just tried "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac but didn't like it and gave up so now the next is gonna be nos4a2 (sound it out to get unabbriated title) by Joe Hill.

Reading "The Hammer and the Cross" by Harry Harrison. 1st book in a trilogy taking place in the ninth century which explores the Viking invasion of England, and speculates on what might have happened had the Vikings been more entrenched against the ruling Christian churches.

Pretty exciting!

Reading "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" given to me by our granddaughter. The "immortal" part has to do with her DNA.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Very interesting but oh so difficult to take in. Hitler really was a madman. How he got everyone to follow along remains a mystery to me. The term 'swept up' comes to mind. And how he got the world to pamper him is, especially in light of current events, eye-popping. I'm near the end of this book and I can't wait for it to be over.

Swimming with Maya - a gut wrenching tale of grief of a mother whose 19 year old daughter died.

"Four Months in a Sneak-box" by Nathaniel Holmes Bishop. An account of the author's 1874 2600 mile journey down the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers and the Gulf of Mexico in a 12 foot "sneak-box" boat.

a manual for work...LOL but candy crush keeps getting in the way:throwtomatoes:

I sometimes just love a good read that always, always is fun and/or a can't put it down book. Two of my favorite authors that fill that bill are Jonathan Kellerman and Janet Evanovich.


When I feel stressed they are my escape. I just finished Naughty Nineteen and Guilt.

The Bible, and The Power of Right Believing by Joseph Prince who's on TV.
My son, attend to my words;
incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them,
and health to all their flesh. pr 4:20-22

I checked out Joyce Carol Oates' new book, "Carthage," from the library but I can't finish it. It just goes from horror to horror, so much damage and human misery. It starts with a 19-year-old girl missing from home and you can bet that nothing good happens to her. Way too disturbing, don't read it.
