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

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

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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

An American Life Ronald Reagan
The autobiography

Re: What are you reading?
 

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?

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I guess librarians think alike! :D

Re: What are you reading?
 

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

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I am reading The Shroud of the Twacker by Chris Elliot. A mystery that takes place in NYC in the late 1800s. Think Monty Python...I picked up this one from the bargain table at B&N-there is a reason it was on the bargain table. I'm about 50 pages in and it is a fast read, so we will see...

Re: What are you reading?
 

I would recommend starting with Hyperion. It is not an easy read, but it sets the groundwork for a phenomenal series. One of my all time favorites. I'm just finishing Olympos, which is the squeal to Illium. A good read as well.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Catching up on Invincible lately. If any of you are superhero/comics fans, definitely check out Invincible (Robert Kirkman).

No Angel by Jay Dobyns

Re: What are you reading?
 

Been on my desk... finally started it yesterday. Got about a 100 pages left.

Interesting read... :)

What did you think of it?

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finished that a few weeks ago. I'm a huge collins/dickens/Victorian lit fan, but Drood needed some editing. Too much of it came right out of Dicken's bios, not enough spooky stuff. Matthew Pearl is coming out with The Dicken's Manuscript, another historical fiction similar to his Poe Shadow...

Right now reading Jim Harrison's The English Major. It's good but not as good as some of his other books or his poetry.

I'll give the Mr. Whicher a try. Ever read Scenes in the Life of a of a Bow Street Runner by "Richmond"?

Re: What are you reading?
 

beer by michael Jackson

Re: What are you reading?
 

Not spooky enough? All that subterranean spooky $h!t?? The dead babies on the window sills, graveyard picnics, crypt crawling...oh, and the thing living in the staircase???

Re: What are you reading?
 

Yeah, cigargal, but you had to wade throug PAGES of the authors colaborating on a play, and bickering like an old married couple. What was up with the creepy staircase girl anyway? Was that in wilkie's imagination or what??? But I did enjoy the book, don't get me wrong...

Re: What are you reading?
 

Looks like Bow Street Runner is out of print-I'll have to try the library.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Drood left a lot of unanswered questions. I thought that the "creepy staircase girl" and the Other Wilkie were just Wilkie's drug induced hallucinations.

On the other hand, I do believe readers were expected to believe that Wilkie nailed Agnes inside that staircase. I don't remember the book answering the question about what the people who bought Wilkie's house found when they opened that staircase. Did they find her bones or nothing? If they found her bones, wouldn't Wilkie have been a prime suspect for that? Or, maybe the "creepy staircase girl" ate Agnes bones and all? Did I miss something here?

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm currently reading The starfish and the spider: the unstoppable power of leaderless organizations. Fascinating book. What really struck me in the part I was reading tonight was the foundation of cigarasylum was directly in response to another site not to be named changing from a starfish to a spider organizationally. Which in the context of the analogy used in the book means changing from an leaderless organization to a traditional hierarchical organization. I realize there is a lot more to at the detail level and there was lots of drama etc... but in the big picture that is as good a synopsis as any. Fascinating read if you are into org theory and I am a bit of a nerd that way. :) Cheers.
