I will second this recommendation or 3rd or 4th it if that's the case. I will admit that I skipped a few parts that were just too dry for me (about people and not about the science) but the book was absolutely fascinating. I have always been mystified by the depths of the ocean and have little...

Lord of the Flies I just read it two years ago or so. I had never needed to read it for school and thought I would see what the hubbub was about. It is a very short book, some 185 pages if I remember correctly but it was the slowest-going page turner I have ever come across. I literally...

I read primarily modern fiction so my favorite authors pretty much still do the book tour promo deal. I have gotten to meat a few of them this way and it is pretty interesting. And I get the books I have collected autographed.

I liked Into Thin Air. Then I read Into the Wild. I Loved Into the Wild. Then I read Under the Banner of Heaven. I LOVED Under the Banner of Heaven. I reread Into the Wild a few months ago it's the only one reviewed on my site. The review is here...

I went two years where I was reading mystery/suspense exclusively at nearly a book per week pace. ...and I got tired of it. To pick myself back up off the ground I have tried branching into other areas and found myself most at home in sci-fi/fantasy thanks to George R. R. Martin's A...

Thanks. It's a nice start anyway, but I'm still young. Plenty of time to amass my collection. All I need now is a raise...

Here are a few off my site. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. - PJ O'Rourke The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything. - Walter Bagehot All good books have one thing in common - they are...

The Coffin Dancer by Jeffery Deaver (murder mystery/suspense)

I just went to the store after work yesterday and bought: Empire Falls The Last Days of Summer

I used to be like you. It's all downhill from here. You may not know it yet, but she has you wrapped around her little literary finger. Read on, anonymous internet friend; enjoy the series.

Every word. I know it slows me down and I'm already a slow reader as it is, but the author took the time to write each word and they were chosen for a reason (in theory) and I feel each should be honored.
