For whatever reason, I decided to reread "The Stand" by Stephen King. I just finished reading "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown.

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. One of the characters smokes "Interactos." Marlowe calls them "toy cigars."

The Coldest Winter by David Halberstam. Fascinating book. Some interesting political parallels with current politics.

I've always enjoyed Halberstam's books. I saw this one when it came out but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder ... guess this one goes on my list too.

Currently reading Before the Storm by Rick Perlstein. It looks at Barry Goldwater's rise to take the 1964 GOP nomination. However, it is really an account of how the modern conservative movement was born. I'm a political junkie and Goldwater has always been a hero of mine ... so, it is an interesting read.

Finished a little cozy piece by Debbie Crombie called Shared in Death-a bit ho-hum, but someone donated the entire series to the the library so I thought I would give it a try. Same patron donated a bunch of books by Tim Dorsey-Florida like you have never seen it. I am reading Florida Roadkill right now. Reminds me of Leonard Elmore sort of.

Jeffery Deaver, "The Bodies Left Behind". First non-Lincoln Rhyme novel of his I have read. So far, very enjoyable.

Just finished Greg Bear's Darwin's Radio, and am about 100 pages into Darwin's Children. Hardcore, biological sci-fi.... as a geneticist wannabe, I found the concepts fascinating and the pace of the writing excellent.

Had to read "Your house, Your garden". Dang I wish I had a green thumb. Not my favorite book!

I've been reading "The Pirate Hunter" Good, but the author seems overly focused on pirates' sex lives

Yeah I really enjoyed those. I've had migraines like that character's before, I completely related to that one.

I am currently reading The Sorcerer's Plague by David B. Coe. It's a continuation of the story of Grinsa from the Winds of the Forelands series.

Still working my way through the Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn. Just started Consent to Kill. So far so good.

Also started reading Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. It is a story about the battle of Thermopylae. Think of '300' but with a little different storyline about it. Very good so far, can't wait to get into the actual battle scenes.

Well, I'm caught up on the Alex Cross novels (James Patterson), and am currently reading the couple Jeffrey Archer novels I haven't read. I just finished A Matter of Honour and am now reading False Impression. I remember a couple of other novels he had written as being some of the best reads in some time...not these two as much (still good, but not his best).

I'm trying to decide where to turn next...maybe Jonathon Kellerman, or more Jeffrey Deaver. We shall see.
