Sue Grafton
 

After years of not reading her for some forgotten reason, just started A is for Alibi! $1.99 on Nook - by the time I get to X it will be $1.99 too!!!!

Carl Hiaasen's Skin Tight. Boomer (one of my favorite TOTV posters) introduced me to Carl and I can't get enough of his books.

I know this sounds weird but my granddaughter gave me twilight....finished it in five hours non stop..starting new moon as i write.

Recently read The Confession by John Grisham. Speaks volumes about Texas "justice".

Just started reading Rediscover Catholicism by Matthew Kelly. It was recommended for Catholics who need a refresher. It's available as a Kindle version or you can get a free copy from
www.dynamiccatholic.com

A Dog's Purpose by W Bruce Cameron-a book for anyone who has ever loved a dog. Touching, funny, sad.

Bonnie by Iris Johansen-Finally, answers to all the questions.

[U]The Resolution for Men. Incredible book on being a husband, father, and grandfather. Can't put it down.

I recommend a book titled "Room" by Emma Donaghue. I was fascinated by the story. I usually read chick lit or Grisham-type books. So this was a bit different for me. I read it without stopping, and I still think about it.

Just finished "Middlesex". A great read!

Just finished "No Ordinary Time" chronicalling the war years and the lives of Eleanor and FDR by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

I am fascinated by the amount of research that goes into these type of books. She also wrote "Team of Rivals" about Lincoln's contentious cabinet members.

She is an amazing writer.

Great ideas, thanks.
 

I recently finished "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand," about racism, immigrant assimilation and the class system in Britain, fairly current time-frame. Enjoyed it a lot.

One of the best books ever! The author just came out with a new book but I haven't read it yet.:coolsmiley:

Just read ROOM also. Fascinating story, great writer.
Major Pettingrew I listened to on tape, it was a treat.
Any takers for getting a Book Club together?

One of the best books ever
 

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and the sequel World Without End

Of course all if his spy novels are great and have become classics. Neither of the above are spy novels although there is much intrigue.:coolsmiley:

Book club
 

Yes yes yes--am leaving one I have been in for years in Miami --will be in TV in two weeks and will be looking for a book club --my new neighbor might be interested also.:coolsmiley:

I'm so happy that someone liked "Room". I thought the author was so talented, to write a book from the perspective of a small child about such an unusual subject.

Count me in as a Book Club wanabee! Reading is my favourite pastime. I haven't joined a bookclub yet, as I'm seasonal.
