I love to read but not if I feel I have just become greatly unsettled
On my Kindle, I am reading a book called "Three Women" by Lisa Taddeo, about 3 women's lives and desires. It's excellent!
They're so relaxing, inspirational and motivating.
I've just reread the 6 books of the Griffin and Sabine series, was initially captivated as I was when I first read them years ago, but was disappointed in the last book, which seemed to be created more quickly, with less thought, and didn't really explain some of the mysteries in the whole series.
My other uncle worked for an airline and he would bring home books people had left on the planes.
Lol, my dad was a software developer, and all he brought home was swag from the latest IBM course his employer had sent him to.
I got my Comic books from my Dad.Every Friday night,he'd take me up to Git n Go for an Icee and let me get some comic books and some penny candy too.
This book was written in 2003 and you can find it cheap on Amazon I think in the used books. I would not let this one out of my library EVER.
Thank you for mentioning that book "Death in Slow Motion".I googled it and read an excerpt from the book and it was great.I'm gonna try to find a copy at the Library.Thanks alot~
My first degree in college I majored in English. I loved the literature classes, but Children’s Literature was my favorite. We had to do a 200 book bibliography. I gave it to my granddaughter last year. She’s over half way thru reading the books.
Latest book I read was Laurie R. King's Island of the Mad and it's a winner. It's set in 1925 Venice, mostly, and Cole Porter is a main supporting character, as is Elsa Maxwell. It's partly about the rise of Mussolini's Black Shirts, too.
Barb, I'm sure that I read Manfreya in the Morning, but I can't remember anything about it now!
It's interesting that Holt can create mysteries and anxiety through a slow buildup, through innuendos, and by raising questions in the reader's mind, while the action mystery writers (such as Clive Cussler) have a totally different, more aggressive (and more violent) method of creating mystery.
Cussler's books do address contemporary issues as bases for his mysteries. One of his books addressed fracking, another an AI singularity.
I've read a few of James Patterson's books but also found more recently that they weren't that readable. In fact, I think they deteriorated. The last one I tried to read wasn't even worth finishing. I'll try again, but if the result is the same, they go into the donation pile.
Where exactly do you live again Garden. I forgot.
It's definitely Fall here now. I have at least six months of rain to look forward to.
We rarely get snow here. I wish we did. I love the way things look and how quiet it gets when it snows.
I never got into James Patterson novels but there are others who keep churning out books that sell well despite having lost what made their early books desirable - Patricia Cornwell and Laurell K Hamilton are two that come to mind.
I've noticed that one city on the county border line has been in the news more recently with crime issues. That's always been a concern, that the crime and blight of Detroit move north.
CWillie, good way to categorize the repeat authors of "churning out books". Some have such common themes that I know immediately there were will subterranean sections, dark, dank unpleasant areas that remind me of Indiana Jones movies, but with none of the panache or creativity of his adventures.
I think their creativity peaks, but they just keep grinding out the books, like cars on an assembly line.
That's one aspect that I never saw in Margaret Truman's crime novels; her creatively and complexity improved with each novel.
Then there was one about class actions which COULD have been brilliant - he began with the makings of an original and important perspective on the concept. Too difficult, too uncertain to sell, too time-consuming to work out or whatever: it then slumped back into hero lawyer wins through blah blah blah. I was not charmed, I was livid.
