Well, looking at this list, I have to say there are only two I can vote for. And only four I'd actually read. I'm NOT going to read anything with excessive violence, or that is described as "bloody" or "dark and gritty". And I'm not, frankly, interested in anything that qualifies as fantasy as much as suspence for this month. Not that I object on principle, just that my reading has included too much fantasy lately, and I'm just not interested, even a little.
So, that being said, I'll be voting for
The Guns of Navarone, and
Vanishing Act. And while I read and enjoyed
Navarone when it was first released in the late 50's, and I equally enjoyed the 1961 movie version with Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn, this really isn't my first choice for a re-read.
Instead, I'd really like to encourage folks to choose
Vanishing Act. This is an excellent, very suspenseful, and riveting novel from Thomas Perry. I don't much enjoy some of his other series, but the
Jane Whitefield books are just excellent. I will warn you, however, to start your reading when you won't end up being kept up all night. That happened to me the first time I read it, and I ended up finishing about 3AM. Didn't make for a productive day after, so instead of working, I went and immediately bought all the rest of the series that was available at the time.
