The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, from David Wroblewski, en kindle.

Lovin' it. Good descriptive writing, totally sucked in. :)

Excellent book! I read it last year and Lynn just finished reading it. One of the best books of 2008 in my opinion.

Reading A Pale Blue Eye right now. By a fellow named Bayard(I think) Mystery set at West Point in 1830-pretty good book. Part way through Little Dorritt but stopped to read this one so I could decide whether or not to do it for our book club in May.

Missing Links by Rick Reilly (my annual pre-golf season re-read).

Classic. :D

Good Book. I read the entire series in order. Left me wanting more.

I'm working my way through James Patterson's Alex Cross novels right now. Just finished Popped Goes the Weasel and will be starting Roses Are Red once I pick it up from the library. Very good books, real page turners.

Savage Detectives is on my wish list. I hope someone sees it while shopping for my birthday.

Read and enjoyed all of the Alex Cross series. Read the intro for the newest Paterson. Seems that he may have changed characters and left Cross behind. Anyone read "Max" yet?

I bought The Mystery of Edwin Drood just to see what it is like-even though Dickens never finished it it should be fun to read the book Dickens was writing while this novel takes place.

I also picked up Hyperion and Illium by Dan Simmons while I was at it.

About 150 pages left. They all seem like bonafide "nutjobs" to me. Can't wait to see how this ends.

I've enjoyed this one so much that I too may have to check out some of Simmons other stuff.

Tom! You hang out at the library??? Cool! I am a small town librarian-it is only one room and we open one afternoon a week. The biggest problem with this job is that I want to read everything I see-I'm afraid I won't live that long.

After reading Drood I picked up Hyperion and Illium by Simmons and a couple of Dickens books. I'm ready to start a new book today but can't decide which one....:hm

Sounds like a great place! I'm a law librarian in a detention facility, so the books I see everyday are not quite as appealing. Not to mention my customers... but it's by far the most interesting job I've had in the field.

I'll post back on the Savage Detectives. I'm not that far into it, but so far it's definitely not a conventional novel.
