I just finished "NOS4A2" by Joe Hill. Another fine story, as I totally expected, although it doesn't top "Horns", at least not for me. I liked the story a lot, but I think I might have been MORE...

Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I decided to read Stephen Ambrose's sequel to his D-Day book, "Citizen Soldiers", and just finished this afternoon. This book follows the war in Europe from immediately after D-Day, through May 7,...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I changed my mind about reading "Double Feature", and jumped into "11/22/63" first. After Ambrose's non-fiction account of "6/6/44" (a watershed moment if ever there was one!), it was a perfect...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Well, it took me 3 weeks (some travel interruptions, and spring chores, as well) but I finally finished the Stephen Ambrose book "D-Day June 6, 1944; The Climactic Battle of WWII". Please don't...

When I returned my Cronin books to the library a few weeks ago, I wound up perusing the stacks and inexplicably picked out two non-fiction reads at random. Just finished the first---"Veil: The...

I finished "The Twelve" today, and am definitely looking forward to book # 3, whenever...! I really did like this story line. As fanciful as it, it kept me thinking all the way, "But, what if?" I...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Four weeks ago I checked out "The Passage" and "The Twelve" from the library. I was only half way through "The Passage" when I had to leave town for a week, and I took a paperback (for ease of...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I finished "Boy's Life" by Robert McCammon...good story to the end. (Although I wondered what became of Vernon at the end!) I was thinking of picking up another by this author at the library today,...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Haven't exactly been on fire with the books, but since my last post on Dec. 3, I actually made 2 trips to Mexico, so at least finished "Cutting for Stone" on the Kindle. I thought this was a grand...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Finished Nelson DeMille's "The Gold Coast" yesterday. Was a very quick book, but I can't decide if I liked it enough to read another by this author. I just did not like the characters very much in...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Long time, no post, but I'm finally back after being away and gone much of the fall, and having accomplished precious little reading. A month ago, I made it to the library, however, where I...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
When I last posted 3 weeks ago, I was contemplating starting "The Talisman", which I did. But, right after I got started, the book I had ordered from inter-library loan came in, and I switched to...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I'm mid-way through "The Forgotten Man", by Amity Shales. Sub-titled "A New History of the Great Depression", it's a good read so far. Very weird, in a way, as so much of what was spoken back in...

Dana Jean,
Thanks for the idea of checking on an inter-library loan; I'll give that a try. I checked a used book store on my trip, but no luck there. Anyway, will keep looking and see what I can...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Over the weekend I finished "Secret Ceremonies" by Deborah Laake. Thanks for the recommendation on this one, Dana Jean. I read her bio on the wikipedia pg. and agree with your assessment of both...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
After finishing "The Mormon People" (Mathew Bowman), I thought I would start "11/22/63" next, but got way-laid, and instead, picked up Candice Millard's "The River of Doubt", which I had bought some...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
Thanks, Dana, for this info. I will definitely check out the titles you mention. Believe it or not, I CAN spell Mormon! Geez, I must have been asleep at the wheel when I posted yesterday...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I finished "From A Buick 8" last week, which I enjoyed. I liked the way it made me think about why we always have to wonder why things happen, when sometimes we just can't ever know!
Am now...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I wasn't sure after "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" what I would pick up next, but finally settled upon "Black House". It was among a number of SK books given to me by a friend of mine who had...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
When I last posted, I had just finished "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo" by Stieg Larsson. I followed through the series, finishing "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked The...
Re: What are you reading? (continued)
I can't believe how long ago I last posted here...been on the go, but still reading. An eclectic mix to be sure, but my 2012 reads are: "A Wolf at the Table" (Augusten Burroughs); "Turn of Mind"...
Re: Newcomers, Please Read...
As a newbie, I am randomly wandering the forum, and discovered tonight this is the place I should have started! Having joined the forum last month (originally to post in Stephen's Empire) I never...
