I voted for Eye of the Needle, have read (again just recently) the Tuchman offering three times. [Aside, The Guns of August is the only book of hers I´ve been able to find in any eBook format.]
Reading so much about the ¨classic¨ mystery writer, early this year I tried slogging through The Long Goodbye and found myself constantly changing to another book, wondering at Chandlerś highly touted skills.
Which brings me, Bob, to your interchange w/DixieGal and her comment about more frequent participation in the BookClub. I find it very hard to spend hours with a book that you don´t mind putting down to feed the dogs or cut the grass! Is not reading time too precious to be spent on books you can´t really get into when there are so many others to pull from the shelf? Saying this, I do say also that I´ve discovered many authors here on MR that I would never have thought to read that are now among those I watch for...just added The Book Thief on Calibre...but usually after a couple of chapters if it´s not clicking I don´t feel guilty moving on.
