Posted: 4/21/2008 8:59:27 PM | After I gave up on Stephen Donaldson, I read a few of Ann McCafferty, *The Dragon Riders of Pern, among others. But i`m more into mysteries and thrillers. Jeffery Deaver, Ruth Rendell, Patricia Cornwall. But in my younger years, read, Mazo de La Roche, set in South Africa, Jeffrey Jenkins, Desmond Bagley, Colin Forbes , Dale Brown. can`t remember the names of the books. they are so numerous When you have lived among the police fraternity you tend to want to read books, about the dead. I Love the CSI series on tv, but I know the investigations take sometimes months, and years, not solved in 5 days..
Underbelly can`t be shown in Victoria, until after a certain court case, so people who would be picked to serve on the jury, don`t have any predjudice.   | |

Yeah Pooks get into James Frey and let me know what you think. coming to ya from beautiful bali :)

It's totally awesome and much as I hate to admit it, Oprah loves it too lol but it really is a great read, just wish it would happen for me, all I ever seem to be able to get right is the "eat" :rofl:
