I've read a lot of James Rollins and a good bit, but by no means all, of Clive Cussler. I to have only recently been introduced to Matthew Riely (by association with this esteemed group) and enjoyed the two I've read (soon to be three I think).

The others, are certainly known to me, but I haven't taken the opportunity to dive into them yet.

[Jody]

I just used (today) a recent Christmas gift (giftcard to Barnes & Noble) to complete my Matthew Reilly "collection"....I have only read one so far and I am looking forward to the others....Clive Cussler too! :o)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Awesome, Jody!

[Lee]

Welcome, Jody!

Where was your profile pic taken....nice view.

[Jody]

Lee: Thanks! The picture was taken in Hendersonville, NC(outside of Asheville)....The park is called Chimney Rock....awesome views all around there. :o)

[Keri]

I didn't even see this thread! I jumped right in to other threads. I am from Texas with 2 kids, 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 turtles. My hubby introduced me to a/a with Cabinets of Curiosities by Preston and Child being my first foray into a/a and Amazonia being next. I never looked back and voraciously tore through Rollins, F. Paul Wilson, P and C, Matt Reilly, Lee Child and James Swain.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Wow, there are a couple of writers in there that I haven't heard of and some that I have. Welcome Keri!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Official welcome, Keri! I have two cats (one is my sister's and we live together). I'm thinking of getting a dog this year.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Oh, I have a three legged cat (17) a healthy beautiful girl Daughter (6) a healthy boy 4 years old and a Very sweet and gentle Smooth Coat Collie (3) (and a wife who's age shall not be mentioned.

I love this A/A stuff.

[Markm]

Hi my name Markm,advid reader of the genre for over 30 years. As my wife KeriM attested,I got her involved in Action and Adventure. Yes I moved here to Texas spring of 02. Read scads of Authors such Cussler,Thor etal. I am so looking forward to contribute to this group in a meaningful way. Jack West trumps Scarecrow.

[Keri]

Thanks everybody and welcome MarkM. You are obviously delusional, but we won't mention it. :-)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Hi Markm. Glad you joined! I don't know about Jack West being better than Scarecrow. I haven't read the Jack books yet, but it seems highly unlikely!

[Markm]

Ty all I am not a Scarecrow hater love the books too.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I didn't think that, Markm. It's all good. We like to tease each other here. Everyone knows that Scarecrow is my husband, and I'll defend him to the death! LOL.

[Keri]

Well now Lady D, we might have to share! :-) We will have to get together and talk about how we felt about the book Scarecrow!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I haven't read Scarecrow yet, but I heard something awful happens. I was on Wikipedia, and got spoiled!

[Keri]

OH NO!! Yes, you need to read it, but it was completely shocking. Even Reilly himself said that he debated on writing the scene for along time and knew he was setting himself up for some hate mail.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Reilly doesn't play. I am often shocked at how he (view spoiler)[ Kills off pivotal characters (hide spoiler)] in his books!

Maybe we can do a buddy read in the near future for Scarecrow.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

To the new members, don't be shy about adding books to the bookshelf!

[Eileen]

Welcome, Keri and Markm!

I haven't read Scarecrow either, a buddy read sounds like a good idea.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome, Keri and Markm.

Yea, this guy's like the energizer bunny of espionage.

[Keri]

Thanks Eileen and Mike. If you do this as a buddy read, you might want to make sure you have read Ice Station and Area 7 before Scarecrow. There is some character developement that is important to that book.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I've looked at them...but as I've just gotten a registered letter informing me that my "to be read" pile is now becoming a hazard to orbiting satellites, I'm hesitant to add more books to it.

[Keri]

LOL...I hear that, Mike. Mark and I had to get seperate TBR bookshelves and then we had to get one for the books we read together.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My wife and I always had that. Three stacks, her books, my books, and our books. We would suggest books to each other, now and then we'd find one we both loved.

[Keri]

It is fun discovering authors you both like or even disagree on.

[Janey]

Hi Lisa

Welcome to the group from another James Rollins fan!

[Janey]

Hi Keri

Welcome to the group.

Scarecrow is the next Matthew Reilly on my list to read.... now I'm really intrigued to find out what you and Lady Danielle are talking about. I'm moving it up my TBR pile!!!

Hi Janey...all I can say is hold on and brace for impact. :-)
