As one of the few US smoker left (as smoking has practically been banned in every public area). I feel I have more of a psychological addiction than I do a physical addiction to the nicotine. When I am sick or stuck in a place where I can't smoke for a few days...I don't feel like I physically...

On the Peterson trial? I really enjoy true crime books, but with how much publicity this trial got, I am wondering is there really anything in there that I don't already know. I followed the trial pretty closely. Something about Laci's big smile and the "perfect couple" portrayal captivated me...

Nelson Demille's latest - Night Falls is a very gritty NYPD story. It is fiction based around a factual event - the TWA flight that crashed near Long Island. I thought it was very good.

I was disappointed in the selection. Either I had listened to it already or it wasn't something I was interested in. I had hoped for of a selection... :(

We have this wonderful bookstore called the New England Bookfair. It is housed in this dirty old warehouse. I find it impossible to navigate, but that makes it fun. There is no place to sit and is always mobbed. They have EVERYTHING though and offer incredible discounts. All of the books are...

The Swimming Pool - It was a French made movie. It is about a writer that uses her editor's 2nd home in France to try to come up with her next novel. The editor's wild child daughter shows up unexpectedly and antics arise in the house. The two are like mixing oil and water. I was glued to the...

I mainly get books that I would never read myself (like Danielle Steele for example) stuff I have already read (I love the readers for James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell) and books that I pick up, want to read, but can't get into - like Dan Brown's books. I can't get into them - but on audio...

I probably buy $50mo in books - so annually about 600 US dollars. Since I also have an addiction to audio books, I subscribe to an online service that gives me 2 unabridged audio books per month for $20 (which is a STEAL since they go for between 29.99-49.99 each) So about 840.00 :eek: a year...

They are actually great for that. When I am really stressed and can't seem to wind down from the day - I put my stereo on "sleep" timing and fall asleep to a book on tape. You would be surprised how easy it is to find your place. Especially with CD's it is easy to just flip through and find your...

Don't ask me why, but there is nothing better than sitting down and opening up a new book with that crisp feel to the pages & cracking the spine of the book. I have to buy my books. I can't borrow them with other people's coffee stains on them. I can't stand the yellowed worn pages from the...

I have read all of his books and have enjoyed most. He has a couple of different types of genres he writes across. For the Alex Cross (his main detective mystery novels) I would recommend starting from the begining of the series with Along Came a Spider. I just recently finished London Bridges...

The only gift I want in March is one from the Weather G-D that blows in warm weather and melts all the snow :D Unlikely as I sit here wondering if the power will go out from yet another bad snow/ice storm that is currently pounding Boston :(

About how old is your girlfriend? I am not completely sure, but isn't Meg Cabot the author of the Princess Diaries series?

It was over 300 pages. I don't remember exactly and I have lent it to someone. Honestly though, I read it in one day. Once I started I couldn't put it down.

I haven't. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely pick it up. I think books about this - although painful to read are important. It is part of our history and we should never forget it. As far as the emotional impact of it, it is very well written. You will definitely cry at parts. I...

I haven't read him in years. Having said that - Suffer the Children is one of my all time favorite books. CHILLING!!! :eek:

Thanks so much for the heads-up on placement...I am sure you will find my posts all over the place until I get a feel for the forum!!! :D

Just curious.... I hope this is the right section of the forum to post this in, but I participated in a chat yesterday with Anne Bird who wrote "Blood Brother: 33 Reasons Why I Think Scott Peterson is Guilty". I am just curious what everyone's opinion is about authors who write about high...

I LOVE books on CD!!! I don't re-read books twice. So it is nice to have someone re-read them to me. Also, I am one of those readers that if you don't grab me in the first chapter - forget it. A lot of times though I really want to hear the story - for example - Dan Brown's books. I can't get...

I would say anything by Philip Margolin - Sleeping Beauty was very good. He has a new one out that I haven't picked up yet. Also, Night Falls by Nelson Demille is a good one. It is a bit slow in the beginning but definitely picks up.
