I also signed up for the Barnes and Noble University thing and have been AWOL from class...life has a funny way of happening, and then there's no time left. ...
I already heard from one Craisie who went to the Festival and had a good time. Did anyone else get to attend? If so, did you go to any panel discussions?...
Hey! What's everyone reading these days? I've got Tom Corcoran's new Alex Rutledge mystery from the library titled "Air Dance Iguana"; series is set in Key...
Sounds like you're all set for the next few days! I haven't been reading as much the past two weeks, been listening instead (Eddie Hinton, "Dear Y'all" and...
I'm reading "Oryx and Crake" by Margaret Atwood and I happened upon "The Two Minute Rule" in the library a couple of weeks ago, so I'm reading that, too. My...
I may not start on the two new books right away. Always like to have something to fall back on if I don't want to read anything in the TBR pile (library and...
Picked up Harlan Coben's new Myron Bolitar novel "Promise Me"---it's good to see him back. Someone just placed "Prayers for the Assassin" by Robert Ferrigno on...
LOL! You're so right! Sometimes nothing new looks appealing, even when it's from a tried and true author. Then I go back to my 'keepers' that I know I'll ...
... Donna, My DH and I went out there a nuber of years ago to the first Craisiecon, and it was a blast. We went to the panel that RC was on. We meet lots of...
I took a break from muddling through Elizabeth Kostova's good but slow "The Historian" to read "The Fallen" by T. Jefferson Parker. (I had taken a break from...
I neglected to mention the copy of "Flowers in the Attic" by V.C. Andrews that I keep at work for lunchtime reading. Published in 1979 and I'm just getting...
Hiya Betty! Good to hear from you! I remember when y'all went out there and posted your experiences and photos from the visit. Uh, does DH still have green...
I just finished Coben's "Promise Me" this morning and loved it! Still has the suspense and wonderful humor of Myron Bolitar. Oh yea, and Big Cindi. LOL!...
I read "Flowers in the Attic" in high school and did not like it at all, but there were other people in my class that loved it. I watched the movie over and...
I picked up the first Myron Bolitar at the public library. Got lucky and they had it. I'll start reading it just as soon as I finish "The Two Minute Rule."...

Confession...I started reading a book yesterday called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthony Horowitz -- I guess this book is intended for young teens, but I picked it...
It was worth the drive to Cincy. He talked and answered questions for about an hour and 15 minutes, then signed books. He's very quick-witted (no surprise...
Thanx for the advance review of Lee Child. I'm in SF and he'll be downtown next Tuesday...will definitely check him out...besides, I just finished reading my ...
The NY Times published their list of the top US fiction in the last 25 years. I don't know about you, but not only have I not read any of these, I haven't...
I freely admit to not being a Roth fan. Ever. These 'critics' always ignore anything that fits into a genre I've discovered. I think the restrictions of...
I actually have read one of the books on the list, by Tim O brein The Things They Carried. It deserves to be on the list it was great. I have not heard any...
Nah, haven't read any of them. Not to say they aren't good reading, if I heard of some they just never appealed. And the ones I don't know, well, still don't...
I've read "All the Pretty Horses" and "The Things They Carried." "All the Pretty Horses" was okay. Not exactly a book I'd go back and read again, but "The...

Eddy wrote, ... Upon what "principle" can you not read any of Philip Roth's work? You don't even refer to him by name. Reminds me of Oscar Wilde's situation...
Dorothy, First off, don't take what I write here too seriously, I'm mostly poking fun at myself for not being cultured enough to have read any of these books. ...
I have friends who thought I was insane because I literally threw 'Bridges of Madison County' across the room then kicked the book around several times. That...
I felt that way about just about every book on Oprah's orginial book club list. I think there might have been one book that I actually enjoyed. After I read...
