Finished “The Caller” by Chris Carter yesterday.
I think i've read a Carter book before,
the main character, Robert Hunter, sounded familiar.
I didn't like the first half
, but the last half more than made up for that. |

I've finished "Step on a Crack" by J.Patterson a couple of days ago.
*sigh*
Epic fail.
I found this book to be highly unbelievable.
The insanely short chapters made me feel like i was reading a play rather than a novel.
Re-reading 11/22/63 now.  |

Is that the same Chris Carter of X Files fame, Joe? |

At the moment I'm reading Time and Again by Jack Finney (same fellow who wrote The Body Snatchers). It's a time travel story, but one where the travel is achieved by self-hypnosis rather than a machine. Mr. Finney obviously went to great pains to research New York of the 1880's and while his descriptions are long, they're fascinating.

I'm making my way through a book called Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling
I read a bit every night before I go to sleep (unless I have stayed up too late watching TV)

That's an interesting book, Neesy! I'll keep an eye out for it in the library catalog!
I used to be able to read much faster than I can now...I'd slam through some real shelf-benders like Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series like nothing. Now, no matter how engaging the book is, I'll settle into my recliner, read a couple of paragraphs, and I'm down for the count. I'm getting old...

Speaking of old, I met a gentleman yesterday who was 90 - he was in great shape!
This message board is killing me today - it's coming up in teeny tiny printing and I can barely read it - and I don't know how to fix it!

Didn't know the movie was based on a book. 
Still reading Fairy Tale, 100 page to go.
Finished Ford County-Stories,a collection of short stories by J. Grisham. |

Has anyone else read Joe Hill's short story, The Pram?
I thought it was creepy as hell and of course Joe's prose is excellent.

Found another Grisham book, "The Judge's List"
150 pages in, so far it's pretty good.

Wow - that was seven years ago! Yikes
Right now I am just reading a book called The Breakaway by Jennifer Weiner
It's some light reading and normally I will read a bit while sitting up in bed, until I decide to turn off the light
I feel like Lady Cora from Downton Abbey lol

After I finished Dune. I read 2 short novels by T. Kingfisher. They are THORNHEDGE and What Moves the Dead. Both are terrific tales. Highly recommend.
Now, I'm starting Richard Chizmar's Becoming the Boogeyman.
Chiz is a scary guy!
