i'd watch it... if i had cable... and a couple of drinks... and another channel on...

Love Jack Reacher !!

I read "Old Man and the Sea" a couple weeks ago. Good story! 129 pages of goodness! It's a quick read.

Are there any newer Reacher books? I'd read all of those up until about a year ago. Anything newer?

Dragonfly in Amber - Gabaldon

Excellent series of books!

Nutcase. It's a new author for me so I don't remember her name.

Love these! The new one (Echo in the Bone? I think?) will be out in the fall - late September, it looks like.

Thanks! I'll have to check from home.

So hopefully Finger Lickin Fifteen is sitting on my doorstep when I get home! Anyone have their copy yet?

Yep. Went to Walmart at lunch Tuesday and bought it. Read it Tuesday night (didn't take long, it's only about 300 pages). Stephanie is BACK! It was soooooooooooooo much better than 14. The slapstick is back, Ranger is back....the funny is BACK!

Yeehaw! Ranger is back?!?!?!! That is all I needed to hear!!

So THAT's where I'm headed after work today. Thanks for the reminder.

btw, The First Familyby David Balducci is a good read too. Not a fast read tho. You need to pay attention because the plot takes lots of interesting twists. I liked the two detectives and recently found another couple books he's done with them in it so I'll read those after Stephanie.

Just finished Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell. Tremendous, tremendous book.

Starting The Last Quarry by Max Allan Collins.

rereading great gatsby

The Crossing by Cormac MacCarthy

I might have to actually breakdown and buy this book now. It isn't supposed to be out in Amazon's Kindle format for weeks and I don't think I can wait. I love Stephanie and Ranger but Lulu and Grandma Mazur can make a book can't they?

Halfway through. I kind of feel like this one, at least in the first half, is a bit raunchier than the rest? Or maybe I'm misremembering the others, haven't read them in a while. Just sort of stronger language than I am thinking I am used to for the Stephanie books.

My copy came in the mail today. i can't wait to start. Lula is my favorite character of all. Have you listened to the audit versions of any of her books? We listen to them in the car and my husband sometimes has trouble keeping the car on the road because he is laughing so hard. its really funny when you hear them all talk.

I read "Nature Girl" by Carl Hiaasan on vacation.

It was pretty good.

Trying to decide what's next....

See, I think the 'raunch' is part of what's been missing the last couple of books. Stephanie and Lula are notorious potty mouths (or at least were for the first 10 or 12 installments) and the campy, slapstick humor is what (to me) made this series. Both of those things were missing from 13 to a degree and 14 entirely. I would go into the few faults I found with this one, but don't want to spoil it so will wait until the usual suspects have finished it first. *Then* we can have a spoiler thread.

Oooooh! Didn't know about the audio version! Look out BAM! Love all of the characters.

I'm reading Moon Pies and Movie Stars - not a heavy reader - a kind of back in the day book in the sixties. It's kind of cute.

Just finished "My Grandfathers Son" by Clarence Thomas. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

A woman I work with gave me The Host by Stephanie Meyer to read. I'm not convinced that I want to read it but I'll give it a try.

Just read STephen Frey's The Power Broker, it was good.
