1. Coming through slaughter

Michael ondaatje

semi-fictional biography of Buddy Bolden, the cornet player who many say mixed the Lord's music (hymns) and the Devil's music (Blues) and made Jazz.

3. Let Me In

by John Ajvide Lindqvist
it's the book that the movie Let the Right One In was based on
it's much creepier than the movie, and it moves alot faster

[TexasProgresive]

4. The Engines of God

Jack McDevitt

SciFi- in the classic way- not fantasy or sword and the sorcerer

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. A wonderful series of books, you have great fun ahead of you.

I've been impressed by all of McDevitt's work, especially "Seeker".

5. "The Last Cavalier" by Alexandre Dumas

6. STILL LIFE and A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny

Just finished Still Life this morning and liked it very much. Penny is a very gifted mystery writer.

Will start A Fatal Grace tonight and hope it's as good.

I'm glad that she has 4 more coming after A Fatal Grace.

Louise Penny was recommended by 'TheCentepedeShoes' in a post a few months ago...thank you.

7. "The Reversal" by Michael Connelly

I like the Harry Bosch and/or Mickey Holler stories.

[fadedrose]

8. I like him too

I read all but the last, and am No. 3 on the waiting list....

9. "Past Caring" by Robert Goddard

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Just finished Reynold's "Terminal World" (great!) and started Baxters' "Timelike Infinity".

[pscot]

11. Robert Parker & Norman Mailer

I think I've about OD'd on Spenser. Mailer on Picasso is fun to read. Mailer doesn't just quote, he orchestrates; the text seems to be 40/60, Mailer/sources. Comprehensive notes and a bibliography. I bet it stung when the publishers put Picasso's name above Mailer's on the cover.

13. "Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James

I'm determined to read Henry James. So far, this is fairly engaging.

14. Classic Heinlein... "Starman Jones"

Found it in the children's library and couldn't resist. I think I read it in middle school.




Sadly, it hadn't been checked out in years. :-(
