Just finished Mortal Wounds by Sue Duffy (an older novel)
Can't wait for Nobody. Should be reading The Return (Austin Boyd's final in a trilogy) when it arrives from ordering it. |

Michelle,
I read O'Brien's The Things They Carried a while back. I think I may have posted that in the last "What Are You Reading" thread. I liked it well enough. But I don't think I'll read another one by him. It just didn't wow me - although some of the vignettes were exceptional. I'm reading A Prayer For Owen Meany right now. I'm probably late to the table on that one. |

Finished Through A Screen Darkly by Jeffrey Overstreet. Well written for movie lovers with a literary novel loving POV.

Read George Bryan Polivka's The Hand That Bears the Sword, Book Two of the Trophy Chase Trilogy (Harvest House). I find it interesting that his women characters are so strong.
Currently reading Fearless, Robin Parrish (Bethany House) and The Book of the Dun Cow, Walter Wangerin (HarperCollins). Adding to the list a couple more fantasies my good friend Rachel sent me.  Becky Rebecca LuElla Miller

Hey Dee, I read Grace Eventually not too long ago. It had a different tone, in my opinion, than the other Lamott books. Still funny but darker. Maybe not dark but less luminescent, like Annie is in backslide mode. Still got all the jokes, though, so not like I haven't been there.
On the agenda: Larry McMurtry stuff. |

Don, I like The Things They Carried so far. My dad was a door gunner in 'Nam and never ever talks about it. I guess I feel like I get a little insight into things I've always wondered about.
Started reading Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane and Morbid Curiosity by Deborah LeBlanc. Bought A Girl Named Zippy, All The Pretty Horses, and Between, Georgia yesterday.  |

I'm still going at The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova; which has been on my reading stack for nearly two months now. Something about reading it slowly has been quite rewarding....
Recently bought, read, and finished The Great Gatsby, which I liked a lot. Just started Stephen King's Misery. |

I finished Robin Parrish's Fearless and Katy Popa's To Dance in the Desert. If you're interested, you can read reviews of both at my blog (link is in the signature line).
I've started a fantasy put out by Howard Publishing, Gregory Spencer's Guardian of the Veil. Also, I'm about half way through Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'm still nibbling on The Book of the Dun Cow. More on that one later. Becky Rebecca LuElla Miller

Oh, Becky. If you don't love Dun Cow, I'll be very surprised. And I may have to have a talk with you, if you don't. It's one of the books I bow down to in the morning.

The Dun Cow gave me nightmares in college. Well, no, not the Cow. The basilissssssks. Shudder.
 Peace out. |

Hey, Ranmort, long time no hear. How's life without deadlines treating you.
I'm still nibbling away at Dun Cow, but I have so many others underway as well. I'm liking it, though, so Katie can rest easy. Becky Rebecca LuElla Miller

Recently finished Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. I definitely like the style of the early 20th century masters.
Also read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. O.k. I know most of you read these a long time ago. I'll have to find a copy of Dun Cow. Marvin

Currently on my list...
Everything's Eventual by Stephen King (who just keeps showing up on my reading list, even though I have read repeatedly that he is a hack. I have come to the conclusion that such persons are suffering from a slight case of both jealousy and idiocy.), which has some his very best short stories (and not so very best as well). Also reading The Dead Whisper On by our own Tony Hines; and considering finishing The Gentle Axe by R.N. Morris which I like but is a slight bit too vivid in its depictions of some things... Interestingly, though, he makes use of Dostoevsky's character, Porfiry Petrovich from Crime and Punishment. |
