Posted: 6/20/2006 6:11:35 PM | The last entertaining book I read was Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts. I prefer quality fluff. I believe its how Roberts ingrains quirky senses' of humor in her characters, and Blue Smoke, "Bo's" humor was ...well....funny. The way I see it is, that I dont want to 'think' while relaxing, I just want to relax and enjoy a good story that I know will end 'happily ever after'. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 11:55:32 AM | | re-read Jane Austen's sense and sensibility for the 15th time (or something like that) and a novel called august frost by a new brit writer (can't remember the name). it's actually quite a lovely first time novel and has some really beautiful prose. i also just finished beauty tips from moose jaw - rather a yawn than a laugh over that one by one of the ferguson brothers... | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 6:51:08 PM | Just John Irving's A Widow for a Year and now reading his, Until I find You
Truly any of his work is worth reading. If you haven't read him start with Hotel New Hampshire it is very funny and then World According to Garp. If you saw the movie and don't wanna read that try a Prayer for Owen Meaney. | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 10:25:43 AM | | Just finished 100 Years of Solitude, for the second time. After i made that last post, i ate and picked up the book and became spell bound in it's entireity. I made a salad and cracked a bottle of wine and began to slowly walk through the chapters devouring each nuance and subtlety missed or disregarded the first time. I have already given it away to someone who wanted something to read over lunch today. I didn't feel right not handing it off for someone else to read. Books as brilliant as this one, should not be sitting idle on the shelves. Do the world a favor....give your favorite book away or give a copy as a gift. Argh, now I must sleep. | |

Posted: 7/27/2006 7:03:40 PM | | The Bridges of Madisson County...I only grabbed it because it wasn't too thick (not much of a reader) and I just thought I should bring some reading material for my trip...turned out to be a great book...and I have a very short attention span...highly recommend it. | |

My killing time at work read at the moment is "Cold Service" Robert Parker...I adore these Spenser novels for good ole' thoughtless fun
I love reading anything that comes from Daniel Silva especially his earlier stuff ie:"The Marching Season"...his stories are usually predictable but I can never bypass the ride | |
