Book Ideas?

February 21, 2008 · Filed under books

I’ve been listening to some interesting books, but have not been able to really get into a written book in a long time. I put down the last few I read, and am trudging through Le Divorce with no real interest.  Any suggestions?

    Read it. Loved it. BTW, have you read Thousand Splendid Sons, by the same author? it is even better. My book lists are on the top of the header if you want to see what I have already read in the past year or so.

    Thanx!

    Thanx Neelie. I have read (and loved, we share book tastes) all of those but Mists of Avalon, I’ll check that one out!

    OK, then here are a few more…

    The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon (these are looong…over 900 pages each which is partly why I liked them)

    The Center of Winter by Mary Hornbacher

    No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay (he used to be a Toronto Star Columnist that I liked…pretty good for a first novel)

    Hope you find a good one!
