2. "This Body of Death"

by Elizabeth George. I am a HUGE mystery buff and this is the first novel of her's that I have read. I can't believe that I've missed her! She's very good.

[bluethruandthru]

Definitely not a formulaic writer. She writes beautifully. I hope you enjoy all her books. :)

[eyeofdelphi]

6. Cinderella Ate My Daughter

by Peggy Orenstein

[jwirr]

7. I am finally read Disaster Capitalism by Noami Klein. I have owned the

book for a long time but have been afraid to read it. Don't want my heart broken. But the book cannot be any worse than the reality.

8. DARKNESS, TAKE MY HAND by Dennis Lehane

l/4 thru - good, but it involves one of my least favorite topics, a serial killer.















Book 18

[fadedrose]

17. This was very good

I'm going to read more of the series.

Patrick Kensie & Angie Gennaro, PI's in Dorchester, MA.

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. Breakfast of Champions

Vonnegut .
I have no idea how many times I have read this book over the years

[hippywife]

11. Still reading Just Kids by Patti Smith.

I swear I'm going to stop posting in these threads since I'm getting to read so little these days. :eyes:

I am not going any farther with the Bill Bryson Home book. I love to learn the origins of things, really I do, it's almost an obsession with me. However, he's managed to make this pursuit extremely wordy and boring. Taking it back to the library.

:hi:

[hippywife]

26. I finished Just kids the other day.

I loved it! I always did love Patti Smith. And altho it was very funny, I'm glad to know she was/isn't anything like SNL's parody Candy Slice.

:hi:

[pscot]

12. Outlander, and trying not to blush

And Robinson Crusoe, for balance.

[MaineDem]

14. "The Girl Who Played with Fire"

Book 2. So far it's good.

[mvccd1000]

15. "A Cold Day in Paradise" by Steve Hamilton. (Alex McKnight novel)

Based on a recommendation from a friend on another forum. It's a Michigan mystery, set near Sault Ste. Marie in the UP. McKnight is a former Detroit cop who was shot and retired to the UP. He gets dragged into an interesting (so far) mystery.

The best part? I'm liking it so far and there are several more McKnight novels to go! (I'm current on all of my other favorites, so I have to wait as the new titles come trickling out one by one. It'll be nice to be able to blast through a whole new series.)

[fadedrose]

16. I liked the first five a lot.

Ice Run wasn't as good as the first five - not as much action. Still have to read A Stolen Season. He's got one coming out in June too.

[Luciferous]

18. The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt, although so far

I'm disappointed. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is much more interesting! I might give it up and start The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. I was disappointed with it too

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was really interesting but I didn't even finish that The City of Fallen Angels.

[Luciferous]

25. Yeah, I gave up on it. I just couldn't get into it.

[fadedrose]

19. SACRED by Dennis Lehane

Just started and it's already good...I love the dialog in his books -
kinda smartalecky.













Book 20
(19 was Peace Like a River, didn't finish)

[fadedrose]

24. Finished - really good

Lehane is so new to me, but I really have gotten to like him.

[LWolf]

20. Ricochet River.

Robin Cody.

[Poiuyt]

21. To Kill A Mockingbird

Just finished The Brethren by Grisham last night. I've never read TKAM before, I guess it's time.

[themadstork]

23. Two books

I like to keep a fiction and a non-fiction going.

What's the matter with Kansas? - Thomas Frank

And

Ulysses - James Joyce

About 1/3 way through on both. My first read of Ulysses. It's quite the. . . quite the something.
