Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Lynn...many thanks for that list. I am printing it out. I love Homer Hickam, Baldacci, Martha Grimes, Anita Shreve....but not her last book....I think it was the Pilot's Wife.... Kellerman and his wife writes, too. I love Jodi Picoult....did you read the one about the woman lawyer who went to live with the Amish????....I read Lance Armstrong's book and thought he was the supreme egotist!!!! I've read all of Grisham's.....Liked Wally Lamb, but found it hard to read...Was one about the Siamese twins? Have read all of the books....Have not read Nora .....but have read Jane Hamilton and also Berg. She writes very involved mysteries. Have not read Shirley or Chris Bojhalian or Marcia Muller or Llywellyn. Will definitely try them. Thanks so much. What was Wally Lamb's first book....was it something about blue eyes or what? I read it for book club and can't remember the title. P.S. Has Hickam written anything other than October Sky or whatever the name was.....the one about the boys building rockets. Jane Smiley is also a good writer. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I used to have a collection of Kellerman books here that I read by athon and his wife, I just gave them away last year to a thrift store. I enjoyed those books --- camilla higley wrote: > Lynn...many thanks for that list. I am printing it out.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Yes, Homer Hickham has three? books out now? Lance has two more out now - one at least I'm positive about. I read most of those books as a Librarian, not so much as someone picking them off the shelves. Those are the ones I reviewed. Don't do much reading these days. The little pleasure reading I do I usually fall asleep in the middle of. LOL. Used to read 6 books a week. Oh, well, you win some you loose some.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hi Lynne, You have good taste in authors. I like several off your list: Higgins , Brown, Kellerman, Bojhalian, Grisham, Nora , Baldacci, Berg, Jodi Picoult and Wally Lamb. I have 2 or 3 books by Jane Hamilton in my TBR pile...I'm looking forward to reading them (some day)...I have heard good things about her. Thanks for sharing your list!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Oh Lynn....say it isn't so. How can you survive without reading. What about books on tape.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Cam, I have never heard of Jane Smiley. I will check her out on Amazon. Does she write mysteries? Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Jane Smiley wrote the book that is based on King Lear...only set in modern times. A farmer and his three daughters. Really good.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Jane Smiley is another good author. Re: Book List B Hi Lynne, You have good taste in authors.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 No, she writes very complex books. I think she wrote Map of the World. You will never forget her books....they are very deep and wonderful. I get her and Jane H. mixed up, though. I know Jane S. wrote the book based on King Lear....and it was great. Cam p.s. I am dying to start . When shall we start???? Re: Book List B Cam, I have never heard of Jane Smiley. I will check her out on Amazon. Does she write mysteries?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Sounds good, Kay. I'm going to go on line and try to get some questions to answer about the book. If I find a good site I'll let you know. I must confess that I started it last night because I am constantly getting calls from the library that they have a book I've reserved. So I know my reading will be spotty! I have the edition used for Oprah's book club. It is excellent. The intro was really helpful. So far I really like it. Love, Cam Re: Book List B How about if we start reading A.ina on July 2 or 3? I just started another book last night and I should be done in 2 or 3 days. What do you think? Let me know..
