Marej, I used to read them all, but somewhere along the line, one of them didn't grab me. Now I read them on occasion. Also, I hated the movie. Kathleen Turner just seemed so wrong for the part. I think I might have read Blacklist, it sounds familiar. Try the other P.J. Tracy books! They are excellent. I'm glad you liked Dead Run, that one kept me up wayyyy into the night.

My mom read a article oabout PJ Tracy; I think they are from MN. She asked me to find the first 2 books for her. After she read them, I read them. They are very good, you can't put them down and then you have to wait for the next one.

Jasper, if you haven't already read Koontz's book "From the Corner of His Eye". I read it a couple of months ago and couldn't put it down!

Twinkie, I did read that one, interesting concept(if I have my titles correct was it the one with all the paralells? ). I'm really liking the stuff he is coming out with in the last few years. I am almost finished Velocity and just picked up Life Expectancy.

Just finished "Creepers" by David Morrell. He has been a favorite of DH ever since Rambo (First Blood) and I usually don't read his books. But this is a good one.

I'm continuing with Dead Wrong by Mariah Stewart. I just jump from book to book I was reading a book called Peace Be Still By Collette Haywood it was a good book but I kinda read the end of the book and spoiled it for myself so I stopped reading it. But have you heard of a book called When Twilight comes thats a good book you should read it I mostly spend some of my time reading but I love the internet so I spend alot of my time on here }

From the Corner of His Eye was about the little boy that went blind and the psycho killer. Fabulous book.

I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Aside from cooking and eating and saying Hi, in passing, to hubby I read that book. It was that good. Its been a couple of months and I still can't forget it.

I've just started Symptoms Of Withdrawal by Christopher Kennedy Lawford. Very interesting so far.

I just finished reading Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve. I would like to read discussions about this book. I need things explained. Are there any really good book forums out there? I have been googling and can't find any discussions on this book aside from book reviews and that is not what I need. I know what the book is about...I just read it. I want to know about some of the supposed clues throughout the book with regard to the ending which I obviously didn't pick up on.

I'm considering ordering A Million Little Pieces (latest Oprah book). Has anyone read it?

I've got it in my 'to be read' pile (two others ahead of it). Three people at school have read it and they ALL loved it -- two have ordered the second book already. Two of the three people who read it were/are English teachers, so they usually don't recommend "duds."

I agree with Supergranny. I have been a Morrell fan every since I read Brotherhood of the Rose. I have read everything by him since then. Funny though I have never read Rambo.

Rambo is based on "First Blood". Have you read his latest "Creepers"? Very good!

Now that I can read in bed again, I just finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. It was okay. Now I'm reading Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz. I'm definitely on a Dean Koontz kick lately. I think its time to switch back to Patricia Cornwell soon.

Roxip (and anyone else who's reading), I just finished "A Million Little Pieces". I had very mixed feelings as I read it. Parts seemed unbelievable, and I found the writing style challenging (it reads kind of like free-fall writing). I don't deal w/ addictions, but I do deal w/ bi-polar depression, so I could relate to many of his emotions: the emptiness, self-loathing, consideration of suicide. I felt emotionally spent after reading it, but glad I did. Then I watched his interview with Oprah (I had it taped). The book made more sense to me once I saw him interact with Oprah and the audience. I find his story interesting for a couple of reasons, but I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't read it yet. If anyone else has read it, can we start a separate thread?

I'm reading Sweetwater Creek by Anne River Siddons. It is beautifully written and I just love the way she writes about the Low Country.

I just finished listening to Dan Brown's Digital Fortress. It's okay, but not great. A good diversion in the car. I've just started A Million Little Pieces and wish I could sit and read it straight through, but I don't have that kind of time. The writing style is definitely different, but for me it sort of fits the tone of what he's going through. I got it as a set with the sequel, My Best Friend Leonard, so I hope I like it. I'm part way through Jane Smiley's Good Faith and find it engaging, although I'm still waiting to see what is really going on with the characters. I just started listening to Sue Monk Kidd's {The Mermaid Chair} but haven't gotten very far yet. I have The Secret Life of Bees but have yet to read it.

Max, I liked Secret Life of Bees so much more. You'll have to let me know what you think.

Secret Life of Bees is one of my favorite books. The characters are so rich. I'm engrossed in Dark Angel by Karen Harper. It's a mystery set in Amish country, where an "English" doctor is doing genetic research.

Finished Sweetwater Creek. Beautifully written. Beachcomber, you'd love it. I'm starting Never Have Your Dog Stuffed by Alan Alda. So far, it's very witty.

It is on my "to order" list Mamie based on your recommendation! I am reading the last installment of the Jan Karon Mitford Years series (came out this past week). I am having to refresh my memories on the characters, but as usual, the writing is excellent. Jan Karon is scheduled to start a new series next year titled "Father Tim." Wonder if it covers his earlier years?
