sharing THANK YOU for mentioning GOODREADS.COM i just spent an hour there. Another similar site is SHELFARI.com. It's nice to be able to share our finds. :)

Book Keeping! Good for you ... I began my book list in Jan. 1977 and it's still going strong and is very accurate. When I got my PC I made a database for it and that too is up to date and ALPHABETIZED!!!! :D :D IMHO doing this is a real gift to ourselves.

Will The Earth Survive? When I am reading something I know nothing about I search for information. I found the following on QUAIETEARTH.US Dawn of the dead (1978) I have to give this a 10, this movie must of had a budget because you see it in the sets, and the fact that they used a alot of...

Future-movies I agree about ON THE BEACH (BOOK TOO); PLANET OF THE APES; AND THE DAY AFTER. And i also loved SOYLENT GREEN which i saw as a grown-up and found it an astounding cautionary tale and prohpetic allegory.

true crime books another excellent true crime is FALL by Ron Franscell it's the story of the murder of 2 of his friends ... who lived next door to him as he grew up very well done

True Crime Pat S Yes Another Good Addition To The List

true crim I would add COMPULSION to the list. This story and the book sent a shock across the country. No one had ever heard of this kind of crime before. I agree with the other contributions. Ann Rule is the queen of true crime you might want to check her out.

I'd add COMPULSION, HELTER SKELTER, IN COLD BLOOD and Joseph Wambaugh's books. These books are still very popular and are worth reading if you want to get a sense of how the term 'serial killer' came into being. The movies are very moving and multi-layered.

Seeking New Christie And Doyle Yes I hear you! Although not the same of course ... have you tried HENNING MANKELL, AKE EDWARDSON, CHARLES PALLISER or KAREN FOSSUM? Their work is excellent albeit not Christie or Doyle but IMHO they are on a higher intellectual level, yet offer good suspense...

Movies THANK YOU FOR NOTICING ... WE ARE ALL DOING A GREAT JOB :) MAYBE WE'LL WRITE A BOOK LOL LOL LOL :D

Is It To Be Holmes Or Poirot? To tell you the truth having read all of Agatha's Christie's work, I am very familiar with Poirot and much of Holmes, sometimes using my annotated editions for edification. I don't think I can choose between the two. They are certainly shaped in the manner...

Akunin I Too Read Him And Highly Recommend His Work

I Agree I just finished my 4th Pelacanos and I too really enjoy his work.

Oooops Forgot One Wall Street

A List Of The Movies We Have Listed So Far HI I decided to spend a bit of time to make a list all of the movies we have offered up. I tried not to repeat any ... but may have missed a couple and you will find them twice. IMHO we did a GREAT job so far. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN ONE FLEW OVER...

American Belle Lettres AHH STEWART I MISSED THE WORD AMERICAN ... SORRY 'BOUT THAT BUT I NOTICE THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE LISTS ARE OLD WHITE MEN (STILL) BUT NOT ON MY LIST OF POSSIBLES, THE WRITERS AFTER WWII WERE NOT AS DIVERSE AS THOSE WHO CAME AFTER THEM IMHO ARE WE LOOKING AT A...

I think what you say is very true. I thought the question was who will be 'the next generation' of writers whose work will be remembered as is the work of the post war generation. My list would include TONI MORRISON JOAN DIDION IAN McEWAN DORIS LESSING (I KNOW SHE'S 88 BUT SHE JUST WON...

The Appeal And A Civil Action :eek: I never thougth that Grisham is a serious literary writer. As he says he writes "entertainments" that don't go very deep and a just a product of his imagination, albeit often based on real life. IMHO readers who know his work shouldn't approach his work...

Lush Life The most recent book I purchased is RICHARD PRICE'S -- LUSH LIFE I have read him before and l look forward to entering this very long literary mystery. May I just say about Parker: I personally don't read him anymore. After seeing him in person at a literary conference I...
