Well, I've finished the two books I listed a couple of weeks ago; as usual, Patterson was pretty predictable. Vanishing Acts was pretty good. I'm starting to like Picoult and her books. I'm reading Change of Heart, by Picoult right now, and it's great! I'm also reading Odd Hours, by Dean Koontz. It's the third in the Odd Thomas series. Each book has been awesome, and Odd's character is hilarious.

Oh, forgot to say, love Jeffery Deaver books. Every last one of them.

Been reading some Karen Slaughter, but I suppose like most authors they start being the same. I used to read a lot of Ken Follett as all his books are completely different. Still trying to find the book (see my posting of 12 July) to read again. Can you help.

Hi- It's nice that you joined my Caddyshack club! What books are you reading now? I'm reading two: Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult and You've Been Warned by James Patterson. Both are fairly good, but I'm getting kind of tired of Patterson; they're all starting to sound the same, since I've read pretty much all of his.

Hi, talking about books recently and I started to tell a friend about a book I had read years ago and the one bit that stuck in my mind was:

Plot : someone diddled someone else out of money and they planned to get it back. One of the bits in it described how a woman (I think) was going to play chess against two international players but she had never played in her life and therefore winning the cash prize. How it worked was that the two players were separated by a curtain and she sat down at the first table and the player did an opening move. She then went to the other table and copied that opening move to the 2nd player. He then made his move and she then went back to the other table and duplicated that move etc., etc, thus winning both games!! I thought it was Jeffrey Archer's Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less but I have just read it and that is not the book. Can anyone put me out of my mysery and tell me which book it was. Cheers.
