So what have you been reading lately?

Any suggestions or reviews? Please state whether fiction or non-fiction.

I’ve been reading a lot of Dean Koontz , Harlan Coben and Tom Clancy. My first foray into modern fiction. Excellent reading. Coben is very funny at times.
I’d recommend "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam for non-fiction. It’s about a boy who grows up in a West Virginia coal mining town and develops an interest in rockets during America’s early days of the space program, then goes on to work for NASA. Excellent memoir.

    Intensity is on my list of Koontz books. My first Koontz work was From the Corner of His Eye. Then, The Husband. I've read about five so far, but I'm taking a break from Koontz.. A steady diet of his books isn't healthy.
    I'll give all your suggestions a try. Thanx shelly.

    Hi mom. Do you know when or If the TV series is coming back. True Blood was it. It's been so long I forgot the name but it was a good series

  14. theheinzs - July 8th, 2009

    Right, Murdoc, books are always better than movies. But some movies adapted from books are good enough versions to stand on their own. I saw the movie Hearts In Atlantis (Anthony Hopkins) before I read the book. Both are excellent , but neccessarily soooo different.

  15. whipsaw - July 8th, 2009

    I think True Blood is supposed to be back on May 5….
