And here you got me all excited that there was a Douglas Adams book I hadn't read! :p

Here's my July. Black Swan Green seemed to take me forever to get through, though I enjoyed it. Black Swan Green by David Mitchell Winkie by Clifford Chase Jack by A.M. Homes Once Upon a Day by Lisa Tucker Harm's Way by Stephen White Remote Control by Stephen White Twelve Sharp by...

"The Night Gardener" by George Pelecanos "Goodbye Lemon" by Adam Davies "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult

I'm going to have to go with the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. My very favorite, and he never lets me down.

I do genealogy research, and Appolonia was the name of my 2nd great grandmother, who emigrated from Germany in 1853. I always loved her name.

'Night' by Elie Wiesel 'Once Upon A Day' by Lisa Tucker

"Winkie" by Clifford Chase "Jack" by A.M. Homes

I almost always finish books once I start them, but every once in a while I pick up one that doesn't sustain my attention. I don't keep books around that I can't get through. If I purchased them, I either resell them, or donate them to the local library. This year I couldn't finish: The...

Telegraph Days by Larry McMurtry The Best American Short Stories 2003, edited by Walter Mosley The Best American Short Stories 2004, edited by Lorrie Moore The Best American Short Stories 2005, edited by Michael Chabon

I read it when it first came out because the premise intrigued me, and I enjoyed it a lot. It was one of my favorite books that year and I would highly recommend it. But I have talked to some people who have disliked it was well. It's one of those books people either love or hate. (I...

I agree Anonymous Rex was better, but then I liked it better because it was funnier. Of Lethem's books I've read, my favorite has got to be Motherless Brooklyn. Loved the main character - the actual mystery was almost secondary. I enjoyed Girl in Landscape as well, thought it was a nice...

Sad to say, I dunno. I found it online and just liked it because it was colorful. I'm simple that way. :)

Black Swan Green by David Mitchell

I read mostly contemporary fiction and crime fiction. I think crime fiction fills my need for a modern day "hero". The contemporary fiction I read mostly features interpersonal relationships, which are always fascinating to me.

Jaynebosco, I don't know about other people but I eat alone much of the time so I tend to read during meals, especially lunch. I also read if there's nothing on TV (which happens many evenings), and usually the hour before going to bed. My reads for June were all excellent: Broken for You...

Have you read the series by Julia Spencer-Fleming? It begins with In the Bleak Midwinter, which is about an Episcopal priest (and tough ex-Army chopper pilot) named Clare Fergusson, newly arrived at St. Alban's. A newborn infant is left at the church, which brings her together with the town's...

"The Stolen Child" by Keith Donahue (purchased) "Death of a Thousand Cuts" by Barbara D'Amato (from library)

The Fallen – T. Jefferson Parker (was very good, unique premise) The Greatest Man in Cedar Hole – Stephanie Doyon (really enjoyed this) A Field of Darkness – Cornelia Read (okay debut) Mad Mouse – Chris Grabenstein (fun read) Family and Other Accidents – Shari Goldhagen (I expected it to be...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards Broken For You by Stephanie Kallos

Robert Crais was actually the first author I read in the mystery genre, and was my very favorite for many years. But I have to say I enjoyed his earlier books of the Elvis & Joe series much more, because I loved the humor he wrote into them. I really enjoyed his latest standalone, The Two...
