I'm with you there! Full Dark, No Stars is the first book in a long while I just can't put down. It's got that overpowering "what's next?" feeling on every page. I'm on the last story now and I already wish there was more to read. One of Stephen King's best in a long, long time. Howard She...

I'm a little more than halfway through Stephen King's Full Dark, No Stars and I'm reallyliking it. I'm reading this book the way I *used* to read; almost non-stop with real difficulty in stopping because I'm endlessly hooked on finding out what happens next. This could be some of Stephen King's best...

Can you all BELIEVE they are changing Huck Finn to be PC? The audacity!!! Last Sunday's 60 Minutes piece on the PC Huckleberry Finn explains everything. The explanation is not at all satisfying, though. Books are no different than paintings - once they're rendered they MUST be left alone. Howard Sh...

The cowboy stories of Andy Adams. Great stuff! "Andy Adams (May 3, 1859 – September 26, 1935) was an American writer of western fiction. Andy Adams was born in Indiana. His parents, Andrew and Elizabeth (Elliott) Adams, were pioneers. As a boy he helped with the cattle and horses on the family...

Reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. Howard, I have found that I have to listen to an audio book 2-3 times. Especially if it's a new author. I used to drive for a living so it was no big deal. Now I don't have the time or patience. :D I'm in a similar situation in the sense I hav...

Here's one I'm NOT reading now:

Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow.

This is my second attempt with the audio book and it just doesn't grab me. The writing's good and I like where the plot is going but after an hour of very slow going it's just not a book for me.

Howard you have probably read all of Edgar Allen Poe, but murders in the rue morgue is a great read. My grandson who was 13 or 14 at the time made a pretty good movie of the "Tell tale Heart" I am reading "Infidel" which is very interesting and current and should be read by ever...

Funny enough I started Crime and Punishment (during a trip to Russia, ironically) and never got to finish it as I lost my copy somewhere during my travels. I really should get back to it. I was intrigued right from the violent beginning. Dostoyevsky is a master and I owe it to myself to finish what ...
