Agree with you there, it left you waiting for the middle of the night knock on the door, one of his best I thought.

Currently about halfway through the new E. L. Doctorow "Homer and Langley" and loving it.
Here's some background info as the novel is based on a true story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collyer_brothers http://www.nysun.com/on-the-town/col...rothers/12165/ http://images.google.com/images?q=co...title&resnum=4 http://papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com/2...ows-pack-rats/ Highly recommended. |

Just finished Flash Forward by Robert Sawyer - will be interested to see how this translates into a tv show. In general I liked lots of the book as a general read but wasn't in love with the very end part.
Next is Poisonwood Bible I think. Mel |

Just started "Dreamers of the Day" by Mary Doria Russell - an odd book - part historical fiction, part feminist romance ??? - not at all like her previous SciFi ("The Sparrow"). Set in Egypt just after WWI and the Influenza epidemic - populated with historical figures (TE Lawrence, Gertrude Bell, Winston Churchill) and a dachshound named Rosie.
Very entertaining so far. |

*Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl* is my book at bedtime this week. Vintage, non-fiction by the 'slave girl' herself. I kid ye not, even Steve King can't get scarier than this. It's chilling to think how recently this kind of hell was daily life to millions in the
US. Public domain, of course, so it's a free download from several sources. Cheers Neil |
