Okay, so Ludlum is in the category of "guilty pleasure" for me. I pick him up once or twice a year when I need some Adventure-ish escape, preferably in some exotic place and with a Conspiracy Theory attached.

This one satisfied all the above requireme...more

Debra Rach and I are looking forward to the new venue--not so far out, and right across the street from Book Bin! The L'Engle is a very nice read, too.

My reading focus now is on David Allen's Time Management stuff. The level of both spread and detail is so high with the Idylls Press work, I was feeling the need for some professional advice! They're excellent books, very common sensical, and with their priorities straight. I think Allen's system is going to be very useful.
