What book have you read recently?

"The Best of Me", by Nicholas Sparks, was enjoyable. He is the author of "The Notebook", which was made into a highly successful film a few years ago.

The last James Patterson novel I read (Cross Country) was just a little too violent.

On deck is a small, locally published book about Armenian history.

Best answer!

just finished Iain (M) Banks's The quarry, not his best work (still highly enjoyable), but it was his last as he died of cancer just before its release. I have everything he has ever written plus i used to drink in his pub years ago. Ill miss his yearly releases :-(

I think that our paths crossed on more than one occasion, we frequented the same parties and festivals and had the same friends but we never actually met :-(

I just finished reading Mr.Mercedes by Steven King. Not a typical King read but enjoyable……… I bought it for the flight, oh, well. I’ll start A Little Revenge: Benjamin Franklin And Son……….

My mom read all his books too, when she was still living. She was quite a bibliophile

He is one of my favorites, too, Tom! The only one I couldn't read was "A Time To Kill"...it was just too graphic at the beginning. The movie, however, is one of my favorites.

I have just finished a book called Homer. It's about a cat which is blind, the young lady who adopted him has two other cats. She moves to New York just before 9- 11 , it's an amazing true story of a brave girl and an even braver little cat. It really is a wonderful read.

This time of year I am too busy to get through a newspaper. So I go for the little flash clues that interrupt my thought stream to check out on line like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1292843/Could-carbon-dioxide-injections-skin-new-secret-young-face.html and look for background info, etc. There are seven other background study areas that interest me as well. DNA codex and CDC database info. NASA-NSA-MIT-Lawrence Livermore, etc can offer in-sites on my interests. But Gov sites generally tend to track into trash heaps rather than give up the goods.

I do read parts of the Urantia Book and A Course in Miracles regularly and encourage others to read it too.
