Tragically I was an only twin - Peter Cook. Very, very funny.
I enjoyed Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow, but I remember thinking "really?" at a certain bedroom practice. McCollough's Rome books are good. I was put off for a long time by her romance novel past, but finally gave in to a recommendation. Thanks for the clue about the Monk books. Cheers, Nosher

"Sphinx" by Robin Cook. Second time around after about 15 or so years.
Love all of his medical thrillers but Sphinx is in a different vein from the rest. Not necessairly one of his better works but I do love "Egyptology" and this makes the book very intriging for me.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Right now I'm in the middle of The Bullpen Gospels by Dirk Hayhurst . The book chronicles a "career" minor leaguer in his efforts to make it to the big leagues. So far I've found it to be very interesting and very well written.

One of the downsides to living abroad is that you aren't surrounded by books in your native language, so it's a bit difficult to get decent tips. Speaking of Michael Connelly (who I like very much), John Connelly is especially interesting to those who have a bit of a dark twist within them. Not saying that I do, but I sure love his books. As for myself and what I'm reading: I'm reading Lawrence Lampert's How Philosophy Became Socratic: A Study of Plato's "Protagoras," "Charmides," and "Republic", which is a surprisingly fresh turn in Platonic studies. My bedtime reading is the Library of America edition of Lovecraft, and John Magus' Arcana of Bizarre Magic. For work purposes I'm working through perhaps a dozen books, and I don't want to bore everyone with a list. At the moment I'm reading a general introduction to linguistics called The Study of Language, by George Yule. I mention it because I think it would be interesting to some of you, too. But the most interesting thing happened to me this morning. I was looking for a book for the bathtub, and a book caught my eye that I simply don't recall having seen before. I recall neither buying it nor receiving it as a gift. It's called Topography of Terror, and is the book issued to accompany some Berlin museum exhibit (which I didn't attend) about the administration of terror in Nazi Germany. Simply bizarre. A very serious book which I don't recall acquiring (or even hearing or reading about, for that matter; I was simply unaware of its existence) just hiding in my own bookshelf for me to disover. Kind of like a ghost story or something. Of course, work is suffering because I felt compelled to start reading it.... |
