Has anyone else discovered this author? She writes the Inspector Gamache mysteries, set in Canada. I find them very good-probably in the "cozy" category but I like the way her characters are drawn.

I like Picoult, and grabbed this one at the library as soon as it became available, without seeing what it was about. I read about 100 pages and then looked to the end to see if it turned out like I thought it would. I was disappointed, and felt that Picoult is using her fiction to promote her...

I've recently started reading all of this author's works (that I can find.) Has anyone else read her books, and what do you think? So far I've read: One Good Turn, Human Croquet, and Behind the Scenes at the Museum, and liked all of them. I found Emotionally Weird too tedious and didn't...

anyone watch this show? I've gotten hooked on it. I first wanted to watch it because Dennis Haysbert is in it, he played President Palmer on "24". I like how it's split between the guys and the wives.

Not the kind in books, the one in your body. I had mine removed last weekend and have been recuperating. Do I win the prize for best excuse for not being around? How many of you have experienced that horrible pain and the operation to remove it?

I was wondering if it bothers anyone else when an author shifts between using contractions such as "aren't", "won't", "I'm", etc. and using whole words-"am not", "will not", "I am"? I always thought that for most casual conversations, people only use the whole words when they're trying to...

do you read your horoscope every day? Do you prefer the one in the newspaper, or do you get it daily online? Do you believe in it, or do you look at it as something that's just for fun? Has a horoscope prediction ever come true for you? Would you avoid doing something like traveling because...

I'm reading "The Typhoon Lover", really like it so far and wonder if anyone's read any books in the Rei Shimura series?

Does anyone subscribe, or even read one of these magazines? It looks interesting. I hesitate to subscribe without reading one, I'll be looking in my local B&N for one. http://www.pagesmagazine.com/

I used to not miss an episode of "Desperate Housewives" or "LOST", but lately I find I can survive quite well without seeing either of them. I don't know, it seems that every time a new show starts collecting viewers and critics, and the stars get bigger heads, the quality of the show declines...

I finished this book last night. Like the blurb on the front cover, it reminds me a lot of Carl Hiaasen's books, but this one is set in New Jersey and centers around a housing development and endangered timber rattlesnakes. A self-centered housewife who has just moved into a "McMansion"-a huge...

another one gone. :( I remember him from "Oliver!" and "H. R. Pufnstuf".

I couldn't find any threads discussing this author, so I'm asking if anyone reads her? I'm almost done with The Dearly Departed and it's so entertaining. I'll be starting Isabel's Bed next. I've read all her other works, I think.

I've read Little Children, The Wishbones, and am currently reading Joe College, and will be reading Election as soon as I get my hands on it (I saw the movie a couple of years ago). I just can't get enough of his books. I can't put my finger on it, but I like his characters, and the situations...

I was thinking about how many people I'm tired of hearing about all the time and how nice it would be to be able to ship them off to Mars for a few years at least. They would be straitjacketed and hockey-masked like Hannibal Lecter and wheeled on a dolly into the space ship. Only after the...

I've become hooked on Sally Spencer's mysteries. They're rather short compared to some, but "short" in the Christie and Doyle veins; Ms. Spencer doesn't bog the reader down with unnecessary details that send the plot off on tangents. I read a lot of mysteries, and I've read three of her books...

anyone read any books by this author?

I'm from the 'old school' of fiction appreciators, by which I mean that I admire the way fiction used to be up until around the 1960's. Fiction up until the age of free love was just that-pure fiction, which means a story has a beginning, middle and end, and left the reader satisfied they'd read...

Can someone tell me what an ESMTP id is, and how do I find out who is behind it?
