What are you READING?

[kbarrett]

I'm reading a Danielle Steele book... Lone Eagle. I like her books but prefer mystery or suspense. But honestly I'll read just about anything. If I had no husband, child, full time job or animals to care for I would read 2-3 books a day. I have found a Salvation Army store with a really big section of books. It gives me a headache to look at them, they're typically strewn about with no kind of order but I have made some good finds there of authors I like and the best thing of all???? Hardcover books...$.99 and paperback $.69

My stepmom is also an avid reader and I would guess she spends the same amount on books per month as most people do for a car payment. About once a month she drops a box or bag of books for me. The bummer is that she mostly reads the "romance/smutty" books but maybe 1/4 of them are mysteries or detective novels. I have to be pretty desperate to read the romance books and if I pick'em up they mostly don't hold my attention long enough to finish.

I love the Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman.

Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. I used to read Dean R Koontz and then I made a plan to read the "good book" front to back before I ever picked anything else up..... now.... 4 years later..... that is all I want to read. I am hooked!

Both of these books are on my Shelf of Continuous Reproach. I'm hoping to start them after my current book "Shadow Country" by Peter Matthiessen. It's fairly intense, but really good. The book I'm getting ready to start listening to is "A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon. Oh, and various woodworking books, I'm trying to self teach.

NO WAY, Ken Follet wrote a sequel to Pillars? I have to find that! I loved that story!

kbarrett - I've read some Danielle Steele as well - some are better than others. But I love the Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman too.

Bedste - I've read some Dean Koontz and enjoyed some. I slao have read several versions of the Bible and enjoyed it. I also learned so much reading it. I was surprised about some of the things that I knew that came from there! I still read other books as well though.

Lunachick - I've read some Ken Follet too but neither of those.

I just finished Venetian Betrayal by Steve Berry. It is along the lines of Dan Brown's with historic references, mystery and suspense.
