message 302: by Bibiana (new)

Bibiana Krall (htttpgoodreadsbibianakrall) I am reading A Brief History of 7 Killings. It is one of the most ambitious books I have ever read. Cannot wait to review it. Brutal and honest writing is rare. I can see why he won the Booker for this. Review should be up soon. If you cannot handle heavy, this book is really not for you.

J. (jdrew) | 153 comments Right now I'm reading "Doha 12". So far it has been a good read, action, twists and turns that keep me turning the pages.

Elizabeth Robinson (BlackPage) | 23 comments Currently reading "The Wolf Almanac" by Robert Busch!
The Wolf Almanac, New and Revised: A Celebration of Wolves and Their World

Very engaging! I can barely put it down! It provides a great overview of every aspect of the wolf's behavior and historical relationship to humans.

Alice Poon (alice_poon) | 165 comments I'm reading The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great. Having earlier read Robert Massie's non-fiction title Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman is a great help with the who's who in the cast of historical figures.

Zippergirl Just finished The Man at the Wheel The Man at the Wheel by Michael Kenyon

So barmy. (British, eh wot?) A newspaper reporter and a poet/cop on the trail of a dodgy American evangelist. I was braying with laughter, but then I also adored Benny Hill's soliloquies. (What I could understand of them, at least.)

message 324: by Al (new)

Al Philipson (printersdevil) | 88 comments A classic: Treasure Island by R.L. Stevenson.

Most of the movies followed the plot pretty well, but the book is a whole new experience -- especially the dialog which is filled with English slang of the period (and often leaves me wondering what it means).

The pretty islands they used in the movies are replaced by a foreboding, dark land with swamps and a dense forest. I'm just under 1/2 way through it.

Zippergirl ★★★★★

I totally recommend The Eighth Day (bullet time meets manchurian candidate)

The Eighth Day by Joseph John

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Man at the Wheel (PTL Club / british-style)

The Man at the Wheel by Michael Kenyon

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

And All that we touch (read it for the beauty of the prose and the dream-like mystery)

All that we touch (First Kiss Mystery) by Ray Else

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

All of these came to me from Net Galley.

message 335: by David (new)

David Linzee | 2 comments In the middle of No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II Fascinating and touching. Eleanor Roosevelt had her flaws, but she was standing up for the rights of black Americans when few white people were. She was savagely criticized for it. In those days racists weren't at all ashamed of themselves.

Caira (cairascuriosity) | 3 comments I'm currently finishing up the Throne of Glass series with Queen of Shadows. Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas

Lance, great read, IMHO. I really like the way you separated the various viewpoints during the action scenes. Have other readers had comments about that particular method for keeping straight what is happening by viewpoint? Review in at GR and will post to Amazon.


message 339: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 2898 comments I've finnished Volcano Watch by Toni Dwiggins, and also read Skeleton Sea (by the same author). Now I'm reading The Healer by C.J. Anaya.

Other readers have mentioned that they don't have problems following even the busier action scenes. I tried to get across the inherent confusion of big multi-player fights without actually confusing readers -- it's good to know I succeeded.

Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for posting reviews! Every one helps. If you haven't already, you might take a look at my other book to see if it interests you.
