Re: Have you read a good book lately?
Well, you asked, so here goes......My favorite thing while on vacation, besides eating, was sitting in the sun or by the pool and reading and I managed to read 30 books in the 6 weeks I was gone....So, I'll try to make the list as short as possible....
Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpi-true story about a boy who dies during surgery and tells about being in heaven.....Excellent
High Profile, by Robert Parker......good
Sleep My Love by Elizabeth Norman....good
Shock Wave by John Sanford.....very good (couldn't put it down)
Double Deuce by Robert B. Parker....A spencer story....good
The Forgotten by David Baldacci.....good

I has anyone read Mrs.Lincoln's Dressmaker by Jennifer Ciaverini? Wonderfully done, very historically accurate.

I just finished "Mrs. Lincoln's dressmaker" It was a good book. If you
like civil war stories, this one is from the prosective of a black former slave and very well written.

Sherry, thank you for the thumbs up on "Girl Gone". I just finished it and have to tell you, once I got into it, it was hard to put down. Some of the language was a little rough but the plot was unique and kept me reading. I just down loaded the other two books by the same author, Gillian Flynn.

Here's another thriller I just finished....."Presumed Innocent" by Scott Turow.....It kept my interest, although it was long and drawn out...But, a real surprise, right up to the end.......

If you have never read "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck, I highly recommend it. I am now reading her companion books to it.

I recently re-read The Good Earth. What are the 'companion' books? I have read lots of Pearl Buck's works - many years ago.
