Slothkitten, you can borrow my name, but I warn you it's mostly wishful thinking. Seamonkey, how could I have forgotten Anne Lamott! She is wonderful. I'd read her grocery list. Off to Africa and more lady detective. I'm loving these books and it feels like such a luxury to read 3 of them back to back.

They really are aren't they. I've now read them all and I'm waiting impatiently for the next one. Can't wait to see what Ramses' children get up to. Not very ofter you come across a series that spans as long as this one.

Sloth: If you like historical fiction you might really enjoy Ken Follett. He writes wonderful historical fiction novels. His style typically appeal to both men and women. I love books. There are so many faves, so hard to mention. This summer I forced myself to quit resisting and read J.R.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings collection and Hobbit. It took me so long to do it, but I enjoyed it. However, my fave authors would be: Patricia Cornwell, Nelson DeMille, Stephen Hunter, Sue Grafton, Kathy Reichs, Carl Hiassen, James Patterson. I love spy, murder and historical and political generes, but usually will read most anything that acts like it wants to be read!

Solifelike.. have you read any of the Jonathan Kellerman Alex Delaware mysteries??

Is Alex Deleware the character of Jonathan Hillerman's books? Or a seperate author? I had a stack of Kellerman's to read long ago, but we moved nd I gave them back to their owner. I always have a stack of "to read", it never goes down, it just grows and grows. I read one, replace it with 2.

BTW Meli 456.... I read White Oleander this summer. It is not a book I would typically read, but once I opened it, I could not put it down. You're right, it is fantastic. Her writing style is like reading poetic verse.

Alex Delaware is the character; Jonathan Kellerman is the author. Alex is a semi-retired child psychologist who consults on various cases with his friend from the PD, Milo Sturgis..

My favorite book of all time was and always will be Little Women. It was the first book that I ever cried reading and I think maybe alot of why it is my favorite is because of the warm memories of reading it. Just sitting all snuggled up in bed. I was probably about 9 when I read it first and I occasionally go back and read it still.

Hi everyone. I am new to the board and love to read just about any type of genre. I am always looking for new books to read. It is hard to pick just one, but one of my favorite books is I know this much is true by Wally Lamb. I love his books. I also like James Patterson, Joy Fielding, the list goes on. I look forward to hearing about new books and authors from the board.

Jenny, Wlecome! I think I have seen that Wally Lamb book, 100 times and each time I talk myself out of picking it up. No one ever could tell me anything about it. I will pick it up next time (the 101st time) I see it.

Mamie: Have you ever read Jane Eyre? The reason I ask is that "our Vincent" would be a perfect Mr. Rochester.

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice is my all time favorite. I also love David Eddings' books and Laurell K. Hamilton's books.
