I currently live in Attleboro, MA. I love to read and in addition to books, I also enjoy reading Time, Smithsonian and Readers Digest.

My favorite kinds of books are probably sci-fi fantasy. I loved Hobbit Lord of the Rings. also a huge fan of The Wheel of Time series by the late Robert Jordan. I also find I enjoy political books... more »

    This book was loaned to me by a co-worker who saw the same exhibit you did. What an emotional book!!!! Quilting is my new hobby and I listen to audio books while quilting. I am obsessed. Anyway, she has let me hold hers until the new year and I promised to take good care of it. I have never seen anything like it. I wish I had been able to see these quilts in person. They almost breathe. There is so much life in these pictures. Although at first glance, they appear primitive - the determined manipulation and exact precision used to make the quilts work is incredible. What treasures they are!!! Thanks for writing and as always: Happy Reading.

    I'm glad it seems to be becoming a lot more human now, so I haven't dropped it, though only a quarter way through. Hopefully the predominant human themes in the investigation will continue to keep me reading. We all have a darker side of course. Problem is I'm listening to an audio and the reading from the point of view of the killer makes it even worse when the narrator seems to feel it is important to "act" out the part...

    Thanks for noticing and commenting. Yes, am reading it. Put it off for very long because I found the murderers point of view sections in Along Came a Spider a bit nauseating. No change there :( If there's very much in this one I might drop it. The tone is too voyeuristic in those sections :( Hopefully the detection parts will overcome this. Happy reading you too!

    I went back to your club to remove my post, but I can't find it. Perhaps it was already deleted? I'm sorry, I just wanted you to know that I tried.

    It just seemed too simplistic. He was telling about all these other seals lives. I just got bored. I was waiting to get into the nitty gritty and it wasn't happening about halfway through so I gave it up. It was an audio book. And it seemed puerile.

    Hi we are in the Book Chat group together. I just finished The Haunting of Hill House as well. I was wondering, what did you make of when Mrs. Montague checked Tho's room and there was nothing wrong with it? I want to discuss this book with someone :-)

    I am enjoying it. I had tried to read it years ago and could not get into it. I am going to watch the movie once I am finished.
