Harrishanka, you have reminded me it has been a long time since I have read an Edgar Wallace novel. He wrote lots of thrillers, he created J.G. Reeder. Edgar Lustgarden featured in many black an white films of Edgar Wallace stories based on his novels I believe.

Mark Twain's books are great. Huckelberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, A Yankee in the Court of King Arthur,The Mississippi Plot, but my favourite is The Mysterious Stranger.

Reading, "The Daughters of Cain." by Colin Dexter. An Inspector Morse book from the library.

Most books used to be around 200-300 pages long, these days, they are 500-600 pages. Why is that? Is it because the publishers think they can sell more at a higher price? You can put all you need to know of a story into a book 200 pages long, and that is the way things used to be. I have...

Started a new Inpector Morse novel, The Wench Is Dead. How many of you are Morse fans?

One of the best series I have read is Lonesome Dove,by Larry McMurtry. Start with Dead Man's Walk, then Lonesome Dove, followed by Comanche Moon and then Streets of Laredo. It is a Western like no other western. A real page turner, and all the books are around 600 pages. I don't usually like...
