I'm most of the way through Cold Vengeance. I like the Pendergast books, but I tried the Gideon's Sword book and found it...well I didn't care for it.

Sometimes the Pendergast books get a bit silly (Pendergast is sort of like Superman in a black suit), but I enjoy them, my late wife loved them and would get her audios of them. I got to know them by listening to them after she did.

Bryani8891 | 1 comments Hello! My name is Bryan and I joined goodreads so I could keep track of what I've read and find some new authors. I started out reading fantasy as a teen (Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony), moved to Stephen King, Dean Koontz type authors for a while, and have been on espionage for the last 7 or so years. Just finished "Black Serpent" by Tom Wilson and need to go back to the used book store to trade/restock.

Welcome. I would have posted earlier but I was on the roof of my house like LT. Dan (Gary Sinise) in Forest Gump, shouting at God "You'll never take this house!"

Needless to say, the house is still there, but to pay me back for my arrogant heathenism, the electricity is still out and is likely to be out for days. Yes, the electric Sump-Pump is an integral part of your flushing System. "Take the pale... ladies is the third tree on the left, guys .. across the street. Watch out for the power lines."

You and me both. And Irene, or somebody else up there who doesn't like me, did heave five trees at it. It was kind of... interesting... listening to the trees crash to the ground around the house. Nothing hit us. My yard could use some landscaping though.

message 171: by Eileen (new)

Eileen Woke up this morning without water working! Grabbing bucket and heading out to find a tree. Happy I made my coffee before I went to bed.

It must be a Monday.

I'm not sure your priorities are in order. Find fresh water for fresh coffee first, then take the bucket to the tree! (and while your at it, I kind of like those Cinnomin Scones from Starbucks).


message 173: by Eileen (new)

Eileen Fresh water found, coffee made. Attaching cup holder to bucket and heading outside.

TMI?


Glad your family made it thru Irene relatively unscathed, Hugh.

LOL... A cup holder? Now why didn't I think of that? I'm going to mount a cupholder on the Tree!

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I'm glad your okay... hurricane or no hurricane.


message 175: by Eileen (new)

Eileen Now, all I have to figure out how to hold the paper.


message 176: by Eileen (new)

Eileen My part of the state was hurricane free. I live near Lake Erie all we had was a few clouds and wind.

message 189: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Hey All,

I read a lot of everything, but Matthew Reilly has to be one of my all time favorites. I most recently re-read the Jack West Jr books while I was actaully in Egypt. That is an insanely cool way to experience not only the books but also the temples and monuments.

Hugh, the Jack West Jr series is also by Reilly. It starts off with Seven Deadly Wonders. I actually read these before the Scarecrow series- its what started my love of Reilly.
