Lynn Renee | 219 comments I also plan on reading the Killing Floor by Lee Child I borrowed this book in large print from my local library, I should be able to see this print okay. The library has newer books in this series in Kindle format but the first six I'll have to read the actual book. Should work as long as large print is available. Had to return a regular print book because I couldn't see the words, very frustrating!


message 54: by [deleted user] (new)

I have to be honest and say that I had read the preview of the Killing Floor and wasn't sure I was comfortable reading it because the prose was short and choppy. I went right to the second book. I'll be curious to see how other people feel. Maybe I'll go back and read it.

Rhonda Lee Wunder | 162 comments Next on my list is Missing You - Harlan Coben


message 56: by Lynn Renee (new)

Lynn Renee | 219 comments I don't like to skip books in a series and sinceKilling Floor is the first in the series I automatically chose to start with it.


message 57: by [deleted user] (new)

I feel the same way as you do Lynn but I made an exception here. Let me know what you think. I can always go back to it.


message 58: by Joe (new)

Joe Just started The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz - a Sherlock Holmes pastiche.

(I am Sherlock Holmes fan - not an aficionado - and approximately 100 pages in I am enjoying the book.)


Olivia "So many books--so little time."" | 41 comments Next I'm going to read A Tap on the Window by Linwood Barclay. One of my other book clubs is reading it.


message 60: by [deleted user] (new)

I always enjoy Linwood Barclay. My favorite is still Trust Your Eyes but A Tap On The Window is good as well.

Lynn Renee | 219 comments I plan on reading the next two books in the Jack Reacher series as soon as I finish the book I'm currently reading. Die Trying Die Trying (Jack Reacher, #2) by Lee Child and Tripwire Tripwire (Jack Reacher, #3) by Lee Child by Lee Child

Brian Poole | 5 comments I've got The Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth on tap, after I finish The Magnificent Ambersons.


message 63: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda Lee Wunder | 162 comments Brian, You will really enjoy The Odessa File. I read it a long time ago. I might just read it again. If I remember right, the movie with Jon Voight follows the book closely. I hope I am right on that

I liked The Killing Floor, but I have only read two books in the series so far so I don't if I can really judge The Killing Floor against the whole series. I loved how The Killing Floor opened.

message 76: by E. (new)

E. | 41 comments Joyland is a sad, creepy, fun read. I hope it's not your last King book. Try The Green Mile or 11/22/63 after that.
I've also started Ordinary Grace. Looking forward to it.

11/22/63 is excellent! A real return of form for King. I went off King about 15 odd years ago after reading a couple of incredibly bad books by him. After reading 11/22/63, i read Under the Dome, which i thought uneven, though still quite good. In my opinion, the Alien element was superfluous & felt like a poorly patched part of the plot. I think it would have been better had the cause of the Dome been more 'terrestrial'. A government experiment, a military test gone wrong, a rogue scientific experiment, anything but aliens.


message 78: by Paul (new)

Paul I'm reading Savage Art A Biography of Jim Thompson by Robert Polito next. Just picked it up from my local library today & can't wait to get started on it. It's not available as an eBook, but Amazon had it for less than $10 last time i checked, for a paperback edition.

Under the Dome has been on my TBR list for years but the number of pages has been putting me off reading it.

I wouldn't put anyone off reading it. I still quite enjoyed it, despite my reservations. It's quite hefty, isn't it Lynn? Typical King & i've read several reviews which have pointed this out.

Lynn, Under the Dome is my all-time favorite book. Well worth every page. I actually read it in 12 days, which is excellent for me due to the length.


message 82: by Paul (new)

Paul Picked this up from the library today: The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett . I was only returning books, but couldn't resist. Been wanting to read this for ages.


message 83: by Michael (new)

Michael (fisher_of_men) I just finished I Stooged to Conquer: The Autobiography of the Leader of the Three Stooges by Moe Howard. (Yes, THAT Moe!) It's a 3-star firsthand account of the act throughout the 20th century. It's not a work of literature, but of interest to anyone (like myself) is a fan of the trio and wants to know a little of what went on behind-the-scenes of their wild and wacky short films.


message 84: by Lee-Anne (new)

Lee-Anne  | 3 comments I have just started "intensity" by Dean Koontz and so far so good. Quite gripping from the first page. Cant wait to finish it. Just need to find time to read!!

Ron, returning books is fatal. I always come out with more than I am taking back! 8:D


message 90: by Joe (new)

Joe A Lily of the Field by John Lawton - Inspector Troy series.

Not mainstream, but an excellent historical mystery/thriller series.


message 91: by Marian (new)

Marian I am reading.. Cross My Heart (Alex Cross, #21) by James Patterson


message 92: by Lance (new)

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) | 96 comments Just finished City of Dragons . It reminds me of the Italian cars of my youth -- beautiful to look at, but mechanically challenged to the point where you grit your teeth every time you turn the key. It's a prime example of mood and atmosphere done well, sabotaged by a central character that does all she can to repel you (and everyone else). Three wobbly stars.

Read the full review here.

City of Dragons by Kelli Stanley

Now reading California Fire and Life .

California Fire and Life by Don Winslow


message 93: by Martha (new)

Martha | 3 comments Oh man, I am such a big Winslow fan! California Fire and Life was my first of his, recommended by a friend who makes a point of rereading it every year because of how wonderful he finds it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!
