I just finished "Swiss Family Robinson". Enough said.

Another suggestion (not to load you up with books, but...) Blackwood Farm by Anne Rice is also excellent!
A couple of days ago I finshed Desperation and today I started The Maltese Falcon. This is a genre that I read little in the last few years.
Hey all, just finished the Boar by Joe Lansdale in was class reading the 48 by James Herbert its excellent so far.

I'm, only at beginning, but I like this 'old style' Crime novel by Dashiell Hammett. I've never read 'Farewell My Lovely', it's on my to be read list.
But this is by Raymond Chandler, even if on the screen it has always the face of Humphrey Bogart.

I knew if I didn't check it out I would get it wrong. :)

Phew! Wasn't planning to, but finished To Kill A Mockingbird yesterday. Now I'm reading The Great Gatsby.

Gone South, loving it so far."I think that one is a hidden gem that doesn't get much recognition amongst McCammon's work.
Picked up an old classic that has somehow escaped me through the years. Ghost Story
by Peter Straub. How is this not available on Kindle?? So, picking up a paperback for the first time in a while.

H wrote: "Ghost Story, I consider it Straub's best tale, a classic"It's one that I've been wanting read for a very long time. But, it never has become available on Kindle. So, I picked up a paperback copy and I'm reading it the old fashioned way. Lol.
@Ken, that's the only way I read, I'm a renaissance chic & the act of reading is very important & personal to me. I have to hold an actual book, reading is like my church...Ghost Story is a helluva good tale, a real page turner. Straub did a killer job with catching your attention & keeping it, the creep factor scores as well

H, I'm with you on reading actual books. I have read only one ebook because I wanted to borrow my mother's copy of Desperation for the group read and she had it on her kindle. Though I was very thankful to have been able to read it, I was glad to get back to my books.

@Kathryn, I know right? I get all the benefits with e-readers but for me it has to be an actual book. The weight of it, the smell, it's "there'ness", :) difficult to explain. Especially old books, so cool. I recently bought a batch of old books & found they were from a high school that closed in 1964, the books still had cards in the back. That's 50 yrs, kinda blew my mind a bit...
Starting 'Salem's Lot finally. A little disappointed as I didn't get the extended version, I guess that just means I'll have to read it again!

I, too, have some old library books. No cards in them, though. One of the things I missed most when I read the ebook was being able to easily look back at stuff. Apparently I do that a lot because I either can't remember or missed something. That's a lot easier to do with a real book.

Misty, is that the one written by Dean Koontz? If so, I really loved that book.

Hey all, just finished dark fire by C J Sanson very worthwhile. Just started F--kness by Anderson Prunty should be interacting.
I've finished The Big Sleep, good example of hard boiled novel, a new genre for me. Now I'm reading Smoke and Mirrors and The Drawing of the Three.
I'm about half way through The Troop by Nick Cutter, I was looking forward to reading this as it was recommended by the "King" himself but I'm a bit disappointed with it so far.
Nick wrote: "Just got the big old hardcover of Mr. Mercedes. Read the first 30 pages, and I'm hooked."I have mine on my nightstand and I want to start but at the same time I want to save it for the perfect moment!
Nick wrote: "Just got the big old hardcover of Mr. Mercedes. Read the first 30 pages, and I'm hooked."I think it's funny you say "big old" because I was a little sad it wasn't thicker! We all know how MUCH he can write. :)

After reading about 60 novels on my iPhone, just the covers makes it big... but yes, I do wish it was longer.
The Brass VerdictI'm more than halfway through , I enjoyed having both Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller in the same book
