2. Poe's Children

[Bobbieo]

3. Nelson DeMille's 'The Gate House' sequel to 'The Gold Coast [

about wealth, high society and the Mafia on Long Island. He writes like a smug-ass Republican but he is so clever that I forgive him for his sins. Talk about an acerbic tongue!!!!

[pitohui]

11. yeah i just read it

personally disappointed not one of his best, but i'll wait and say more until after you've finished

all of his heroes have a similar "voice" but what works in say an angry post-911 book like "wild fire" just seems silly to me in "the gate house" which i guess is supposed to be a novel of manners

jane austen he ain't

[MrModerate]

4. Finally took the plunge and started Neal Stephenson's "Anathem"

It's really, really good -- almost Barth-like in a 21st-Century sort of way -- but it does require a commitment before it gets going.

[Mz Pip]

5. Julie & Julia

It's not heavy or dense; just a pleasant humorous book.

[applegrove]

6. Kathy Griffen's memoire.

[Onceuponalife]

7. The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar n/t

[MaineDem]

8. "Pursuit of Honor" by David Baldacci

It's not about the Camel Club but so far it's very entertaining.

[BallardWA]

9. Inside of a Dog..

..What Dogs See, Smell, and Know. A must read for anyone owned by a dog.

[krispos42]

10. "Agent of Byzentinum" by Harry Turtledove

At least in the fiction catagory.

It's excellent but I don't have a lot of time to read right now so it'll take me awhile to finish it.

22. You Owe It To Yourself To Read The Last Book In That Series.

Ellroy's "Blood's A Rover." It just came out, I just finished reading it, and my brain is still fried, big-time. Highly recommended, but not for the faint-hearted.......

The Food of a Younger Land by Mark Kurlansky

It's a compilation of writings from the WPA writers projects in the 30's and 40's when food was both local and seasonal. There are submissions from every region of the country.

This was recommended by grasswire in the Cooking & Baking Group. So far I've just read the Intro and it's even fascinating.
