52. There's No Me Without You - Melissa Greene
53. Deep Storm - Lincoln Child
54. Knights of the Black and White - Jack Whyte
Yeah, i certainly agree with you, the Wheel of Darkness was not one of their better efforts, think Cabinet of Darkness was my favorite Pendergast book.
Blasphemy was ok, it was a page turner..
What did you think of the Wheel of Darkness? I felt it was sort of a weird cop-out ending. Not up to what they usually put together. However - I very much enjoyed Blasphemy and stayed up all night reading it to finish. Just curious. I don't know many people who read the Preston/Child stuff.
32. Islands in the Sea of Time - SM Sterling
33. Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden - Morgan Spurlock
I really enjoyed Lonesome Dove..more than I expected too actually. Not a big fan of westerns, but these were some excellent characters and I was saddened by what happened to Gus. Looking forward to finding and reading the sequel
Lonesome Dove is also one of my favorite books. McMurtry creates character and dialogue and evokes setting so beautifully, and so realistically. Lonesome Dove ranks among the best historical fiction I've ever read.
Ah, Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite books of all time! How did you like it? In parts it actually made me laugh out loud--I love the dialogue between Gus and Call. And how about the cook? He was a great character and he brought out the best in the other characters.
I liked Up Country, lots of information about Vietnam during the war days and was interesting. Wild Fire, a whole nother story...it read more like an unused episode of 24, stretched to novel length. Can't recommend it.
If I find an author I like, I do the same, try to find them all. I don't often read them all one after each other though some like John Connolly and Robert Crais have recurring characters, so it's more of reading a continuous story that makes it worth doing.
Lemme know how Plum Island is, I thought about checking it out.
I just started reading Plum Island by Nelson DeMille, and so far so good. I'm really enjoying it. What did you think of the two you read in January? I tend to get addicted to an author and read as many of his/her books as I can. I did that with Steve Berry books a year or two ago... Good stuff!
