I just finished With No One as A Witness by Elizabeth George. It's part of a mystery series that follows some Scotland Yard detectives as they wonder around Britain solving various murders. I understand the BBC has made some TV series based on some of the books although I've never watched any for myself.

I am currently re-reading The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman. It's historical fiction based on Richard III and the Wars of the Roses.

I am currently listening to the audio books Plum Island, The Charm school, and Word of Honor, by Nelson DeMille. They are interesting and help pass the long commute I have to and from work.

I picked up Dragons of the Highlord Skies for my wife as a stocking stuffer, but ended up starting it first, lol. We're both Dragonlance fans and have most of the books.

Just went through Simon R Green's Nightside series in about a week, followed by W.E.B. Griffin's Black Ops (the new one).

The Nightside books are great... Have you read A Night at the Lonesome October and Shadows Fall? Or The Man With the Golden Torc? Or Blue Moon Rising and the rest that follow it?

(Yeah, I like Green's swords & fantasy type stuff; Deathstalker and the rest lost me somewhere...)

The Man with the Golden Torc was very good, and it's follow up,Daemons are Forever was as well Generally, when I find an author I like I go through ALL his/her books in . I read Blue Moon Rising the rest of the Forest Kingdom Series. chronological order as fast as I can lay hands on them.

Since my computer up and died one day :(( I had lots of time to read...
Grisham's latest, The Associate was pretty good. I mostly reread a few series that I reread every year.

Just finished "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Excellent read.

I think I am going to start Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series over again. By far my fave fiction. Just wish there were more.:(

Cauldron by Jack McDevitt

His Priscilla Hutchens novels are interesting pretty much in the same way Ring World or the Foundation series are.

Before that, Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Eh.

Get it from the library or wait for the paperback $24.95 seems steep for less than 300 pages... It was good, as I have come to expect.

Dark Rivers Of The Heart by Dean Koontz.
Another one of his typical but very good reads.

The Ruby in Her Navel by Barry Unsworth. He also wrote Sacred Hunger, one of my favorite historical fictions. Ruby is a little slower and more introspective, but worthwhile.

Run for your Life by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge was very good, if a very fast (five hour) read
