Have You Read A Good Book Lately?

Hope · #1 01-21-2008, 06:34 PM

I have become very unread ever since Grisham changed his style of writing. The Painted House was a disapointment.

I am looking for something new and captivating to read.

Any suggestions?

Thank you
Hope

"Where Is Joe Merchant?" It's a Jimmy Buffet book, and it's awesome.

Pretty Birds by Scott Simon.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach (You'd think it'd be depressing, but it's laugh out loud funny in places.)

LOL Jimmy Buffet is a singer but he writes books as well. Ever heard Cheesburger in Paradise or Margaritaville?

One of my favorite books-on-tape ever!!!!! The chapter where they discuss the decomposition of a dead body and the cadaver farm they have at the university of TN (I think) were soooooo interesting and enlightening!! Yes, a little morbid and gross but reaeeallly fascinating.

Hope, If you are a Grisham fan and like that genre of book try Brad Meltzer. In the past 3 months I have read Book of Fate, The Tenth Justice and Dead Even and although I was not thrilled with Dead Even it was still well written. The Tenth Justice and the Book of Fate were really good.

I am now reading his book The First Counsel
