My apologies for the delay in responding. I didn't realize I had a note. Anyway, I have not yet read anything by Barry Eisler (on my wish list in terms of planning to read). That said, I'd be interested to know what your favorite John Rain book is so I start with the best. Thx.
Hey Nichole,Thanks for the tip on Daniel Silva. I just finished reading another of his novels, The Secret Servant and really enjoyed it. It is great to find a good author. I see you are reading a John Connelly novel. I just started reading The Fifth Witness, which I think is his latest. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the book.
A shelf to envy...........
Hiya! I'm really enjoying Sara Paretsky - enjoyed hardball, total recall and tunnel vision - just reading blacklist now. Sorry I haven't replied to your email - things have been crazy - will reply with more detail soon!Audrey
Hi Nicole,I thought the book was interesting mainly from the viewpoint that it supported my own feelings that torture of prisoners is wrong and counter productive. I felt that the book was a little long and could have been shortened without losing any of it's impact. Overall a good read but I liked "Kill or Capture" better. I will definitely look for How to Break a Terrorist - thanks for the recommendation.
You're welcome. I hope the group serves as a resource for you, both to look at reviews and to add them.
Hi Nicole, sorry for the delay. I have been on out of town a lot and missed your note. I enjoyed The Company We Keep. I like getting a perspective from people who are actually working as agents after reading a lot of spy novels. This book is low key but interesting and doesn't go overboard with the drama. I think you would enjoy it. Thanks for the tip on Daniel Silva. I will definitely look him up on my next visit.
I have floor to ceiling bookcases in nearly every room of my house. They are shelved by genre/subject for the most part, though there are some deviations. There are at least 1000 boxed in my garage, mostly romantic suspense, some romance and it is my intention to go through them and trade most of them. I love Linda Howard, have read some Brockmann, but I only occasionally read romantic suspense now and no romance that are specifically categorized in that genre. I just got tired of the repetition, and the marginal writing of so many. Jon Land: I am part way into the Israili/Palestinian series. I really liked the first and have bogged down on the second. So I'm putting that off. I've read all but the newest of the Strong, Texas Ranger series; but there are only a few of them. He generally writes a fast paced and well-charactered story. But he is not on my "deperately-waiting-the-newest" list.Yes, the current political arena is just that...a circus! No consideration for the constituency or solidly solving any of our country's problems. Alas, I don't see any light on the horizon. In my opinion, every last one of them needs to be fired and we need to hire the CEO of Google to go in and set up a group that sets up goals, works together and listens to one another and the country. I have become exceedingly cynical over these last years.I do trade books, and give away. But any hardback that I own I keep, classics, poetry, memoirs...and children's books. I am not just a reader, but a collector, first editions and specific authors. It is an amazing calling. It fills my senses and needs.Happy reading. Anne
Thanks Nicole. I'll look into Daniel Silva. Actually, I quit reading Griffin because I think the hero was too much of a womanizer. It's been a long time, but I think that's it. I got tired of it.
Thanks! I'll look into those books you mentioned. I'll be starting Attachments tomorrow (busy summer) and I'll let you know how it is.
It was a good legal thriller that threw in a sideline of being down the political line. Was a new author for me so really wasn't that bad. Flowed pretty good.
I should also comment that I should revise my dislike from deceptive politics to just hating politics, because I have come to the conclusion that deception is part of the definition of politics and that most of the politicians are deceptive and self serving regardless which side of the aisle they inhabit.
In reply to your note, I own about 5000 of the books I have read, many of which I have not included in my inventory. I was on a romance/romantic suspense kick for awhile, and those are not listed nor is the erotica that I own. I do, however, frequent the local library and the one at the University of Oregon. If I like the book well enough to read it again I will seek a copy usually used. I do buy new (especially for my collections when I want a first edition and I want to have it signed if possible), though I try to get the best discount possible, and I frequent used bookstores in my community and wherever I travel. I'm glad that you found something interesting on my shelves and hope that we can chat periodically. I do still run my own business and have numerous interests, so I am not a frequent communicator on this site. Happy reading.
No, I've only read her books from Troubleshooters or Tall, Dark and Dangerous but have some other titles on my TBR shelf. I just wanted to make certain you knew these books were part of a series. Thanks for joining the group! I'll be adding more topics shortly.
actually, I just purchased both of them this month and have not had an opportunity to read either. I have enjoyed all of Jennifer Weiner books so I'm sure I will enjoy Fly Away Home too.
Oh, so you're not reading them in order? They are from her Troubleshooters series. Here's the link to one of my groups devoted to this and one other of her series if you're interested in the whole series. Look at the Book List topic for reference. FYIhttp://www.shelfari.com/groups/73157/about
I haven't ever read any of Jill Mansell's books before Millie's Fling. I'm only half done with it but I love it!!! It's been so hard to put down. I've laughed so much at the characters and have had so much fun reading it. I need to go add more of her books to my shelf. What are your favorites?
What did you think of Breaking Point?
I Just finished Matt Reilly's The 5 Greatest Warrior.. It was typicall Reilly stuff, lots of action, lot of puzzles to figure out. The hero & his team are the biggest underdogs who win and so on...But makes an interesting read...
