Have you read many by Stephen King? I read Christine and Fire Starter (loved that one), but I'm really not into that type of book. Started one by Dean Koontz once - lasted only 2 chapters.
Anyway, one by Stephen King that I loved is Faithful. He wrote it with Stewart O'Nan. It is their account of a year spent watching the Boston Red Sox games - in person. They just happened to pick the year 2004 - never suspecting that that would be the year![]()
Im reading Enders Game by Orson Scott Card for about the 100th time lol If I love a story I can read it over and over and it will be just as exiting as the first time![]()

A co-worker of mine is a huge fan of Stieg Larsson! Guess I'm going to read one of his books.
Got another book today, written by a German author who writes under the pseudonyme of "Ricarda Jordan". The book hasn't been translated into English yet, it's called "Die Pestärztin", which you can translate as "The plague doctor". It's about a woman who's working as a healer in times of the "Black Death" which hit Europe hard in the 14th century. I love these medieval tales, and I've always been sort of fascinated by the plague, so I hope I'm going to like the book.
But at first, I have to finish "The Final Days", of course, which is fascinating, but disturbing at the same time.

Hmmmmm.... so many interesting titles!!! This Steig Larsson sounds like something I'd like to check out.
I'm reading a young adult novel, called Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen. She's one of my faves for young adults. I read all of her other books, but this one is dragging for me a bit. Either that or I'm just having issues concentrating.![]()
I picked up When You Are Engulphed in Flames by David Sedaris a long time ago and just recently began reading it. Just like all of his other books, I am not dissapointed.
OK, I'm going to admit it... I haven't read any of Stieg Larsson's books yet.I was busy trying to find more by Sue Grafton, which Sara sent me some of. The library have them - at least some of them - then I spotted Sophie Kinsella's books there.
I guess I'm like Catnapper; I like to read light and fluffy mysteries before I sleep. At the moment I'm reading some of Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholics" books. You can take them to the park, since you don't have to concentrate that much.
However, I'm also reading "Surely you're joking" by Richard P. Feynman, which I digged out from John's boxes.
Another good Scandinavian author is Per Olav Engquist - check those out!
Have any of you read "Curiousity killed the catsitter"? I quite enjoyed that!

Well, I have to admit that I've been disgusted yesterday by the chapter I read last night in my current book, "The Final Days". It described an awful case of animal abuse, done to a cat, really sad. My heart was bleeding when I finished that chapter.I know that animals being killed by psychopaths is often a stylistic device in thrillers, but it's always breaking my heart!
