Always remove pacemakers before cremation. Not much closure for the techs.

Jim is 5% done with Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1, Part 1
The actual autobiography starts on pg 216?!!! I need to skip ahead. I don't find the history of this all that interesting. It's not what I got this for.

I love the bits of reality he drops in, e.g. a girl getting wedgie when she skids across the floor. ;-)

Jim is 50% done with Heat Wave (Nikki Heat, #1)
This is a Castle book with the names changed. I think the script writers are just cobbling this series together out of old episodes. That's OK, though.

They used some lines from this book in "Payback". They were some of the best.

Jim is reading Drama: An Actor's Education
Over halfway through & really enjoying it even though he's not my favorite actor & I know nothing about theater. How does he keep it so interesting?!!!

Jim is finished with The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)
The constant use of the present tense is wearing (e.g. 'I say' rather than 'I said') but it's not a bad story so far. Seems the movie followed it closely.

The reader, Carolyn McCormick, has too high a voice & not enough differentiation between speaking voices. Still, she's easy to understand, if not my favorite.

The forces are marshaled for both good & ill. I would have thought I was further along than I am. Good, though.

A LOT of recap. If I'd read the last book a year ago, I would have been fine.

halfway thru & I'm getting a bit bored. It's a soap opera & not focused enough on the horses.

Am I halfway through? Hard to tell. I hope so. Not sure I'll finish because I just don't care.

Jim is finished with Undead and Unreturnable
She's referring to things I seem to have missed, but I haven't, unless there is a short story that covered as much as she normally does in a book!

Johanna Parker is doing a great job of reading this. Sookie is pretty good, but Grandma is perfect.

Cussler should steer clear of computers. Obviously he's clueless.

Ugh! Bad proof read. Harry's staff is in 2 places at once & he puts a manual car into drive. Yuck!

I'm through all the fun fiction & slowly reading Zelazny's opinions on writing. Wow! There's a lot to take in.

Whoops! Said I was reading this book last when I was really reading "The Intriguers". Too many "i" titles in a row...

Jim is on page 49 of 192 of Flirt (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #18)
Boring, so far. Seems like a short story in novel form written as a sop to those readers like like her romantic drivel.

Reading more like a Mac Bolan (The Executioner) novel. Much better than the previous 6 novel drivel, but still not as good as the original 10.

Fantastic. Her humorous touch is filled with interesting facts. As good as "Stiff".
