Of course you know C.S.Lewis who wrote more than 30 books many for cildren(Narnia Books)and the classic "Mere Christianity". He died the same day as President Jack Kennedy 22/11/1963, I was driving my £25. Morris Minor- google him - just interesting.

Am finding I like a new author, to me,. Am currently reading "Body Surfing" by Anita Shreve. Read another of hers last year titled "The Pilot's Wife". She writes with emotion and great, interesting detail and yet is very clear and understandable in her depictions and descriptions. Not tedious or monotonous. Capturing and deep. An author whose work I don't want to put down.

If you like political thrillers try Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series. Rapp is a larger than life action hero; the books have a conservative slant, but they are great fun to read or if romance is your thing try Nora Roberts three sisters trilogy involving three witches and an ancient curse.. Oldies are always good. I just recently started to reread "The Three Musketeers by Dumas or "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet really are two of the most romantic figures in literature. For bio's try Doris Kerns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals" about Abe Lincoln. If anyone is interested in other titles, let me know because I have lltterally thousands of books at home in every subject you can think of.

I buy my books from Amazon.com and look for used copies. The last one I bought was 2 cents plus $3.99 for shipping and handling. Cheaper and more convenient than driving to the store - especially since my closest bookstore is 20 miles away - and looking for a book and then having to order it because they don't have it and then having to come back in 10 days and then spending an extra $4.50 on a latte because I feel I've deserved it.
