humor (2), amusing (2), 12 yr old CeeCee goes to live with Aunt Tootie in Savannah after her 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen Mom is killed by a truck. What a wonderfully sometimes sad sometimes hilarious coming of age book. CeeCee goes through the wringer with Southern grace (1), Best Ludlum ever. Shows his sense of humor. Got to love anyone who wants to kidnap the Pope and charge the Catholics a buck a head to get him back. (1), I enjoyed - it's syfi but I liked it. It's a collection of short stories about the patrons of the saloon. His puns are a scream. (1), Very romantic not to be confused with sexy. There is a difference. (1), genius. Be sure to keep a towel close by just in case. (1), the islands - Jimmy Buffett! How awesome is that? Besides it's his best book. In my next life I want to pilot a small plane in the islands in the winter and in Alaska in the summer. A big Hello to all you Parrot heads out there. (1), Most of his older stuff is good. Sphere is worth several reads as is Congo - so much of his stuff has been made into movies. I like reading his older books like this one. His newer ones not so much. (1), Good sense of humor as usual in a Westlake novel. His thieves are bumbling and his endings truly Shakespearian (read ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL). I'm a Westlake fan. (1), Let's face it she knocks one of these a year out. Okay for a one time read. It's easy to want to know how Quill's romance is going if you are in the over 50 crowd (1), Like the idea of making miniature rooms as a hobby I'm into crafts. She has a collection of books and I've read most of them. I'm a 'Boomer" so I enjoy reading about older (think Murder She Wrote) sleuths. (1), A fun read as are her other 'Ghoul' books. These are less scary than R. L. Stein's books but pack enough of a thrill to want to read another of her books. (1), If Dame Christie had added romance to her works I think they would have read like Victoria Holt's novels. MISTRESS is Gothic like REBECCA. Has a villam you can easily hate and a good twist at the end. (1), 2nd in Annette Blair's 'Vintage Magic Mystery" series. Fun (1), courage & friends. (1), Jitterbug Perfume had lots of "moments" and was written in 1984 and in 1990 he wrote Skinny Legs and All. These are all great books and worth several reads. (1), Bokononism is insanity but sums up all religions accurately. Ice-nine is hilarious and something only the dimwit hawks could possibly think was a good idea. (1), I've read this many times. Might be billed a kid's book but I like it. Tons of "morals" in it. Should be labeled Psych 101 (1), 1980's Still Life w/Woodpecker was good (1), all things Tom Robbins are good. 1971 Another Roadside Attraction is probably his best seriocomic effort (1), mesmerizing and impossible to put down but the ending wasn't up to the rest of the book. (1), a good evening read. Her other books are good for a one time fun read. It's the ghost in this one that makes the book stand out from the others. I mean who can resist a ghost with more class than Cary Grant! (1), Iowa. 1957 was the happiest year for people living in the U.S. Grand memories for Baby Boomers (1), Martin and his wife). It's a ghost story. It's funny (1), OCD worse than Monk's (Martin) and the power of love (Robert/Elspeth (1), Valentina/Elspeth) (1), mirror identical twins. It's about mistaken identity (Elspeth/Edie (1), Its about twins (1), a history of the the 1950s as seen by the author when he was a child in Des Moines (1), Kilgor Trout wrote a book! Yeah for Vonnegut (1), I like Thomas Black but then I lived in Seattle for a decade and am familiar with his haunts. (1), Wonderful. Moral of one short story: If you really love someone you can't hurt them. You just can't. That's love not the self centered all about me "love" some people consider love. (1), witches (1), fuzzy warm. Imagine your teddy bears only in life size form and running a planet. Much better than a teddy bear picnic. (1), Story is so-so but the format is super clever! It's done in scrapbook fashion with items from the 1920s. A wonderfully new idea and an inspiration for everyone to make a scrapbook of their own life. (1), Liked this book but wasn't a fan of the series. Just this book. (1), but lost interest after that. We all knew where it was going didn't we? (1), I liked the first three or four books (1), Block writes a good story and has fun with his characters Whoopie Goldburg starred in a movie made from one of Block's books. I like his hero (a thief with morals) in the Bernie books. Clever. Amusing. Nothing profound. (1), Dick Francis is a good writer. His gig is horses and the world of horse racing. He does a good mystery. (1), you will probably want it on your shelves so you can reread from time to time. (1), A small book with a big message. Tells you about some of the people waiting in line to see the holy man. Some find their answer before they even see him. If you read it once (1), Deaver is captivating. This is a must for computer addicts. Deaver really does his research. I learned while enjoying the story. (1), Makes you appreciate modern convenience and has great food hints. I liked the characters. I loved the tour and history of this area. After reading this I'd never want "the good old days" to come back. Didn't care for the sequel. (1), Dame Mary Stewart is an excellent read. She really researches her backgrounds. This is a mystery on a par with Dame Christie. I also like Dame Stewart's King Arthur trilogy. (1), All about the feminine psyche. Combining multicultural stories with clinical work Estes shows women how to tap into their own healing energies. Loved it when she said all women no matter what age (92) need a mother in their life. That is so true. (1), and Clare who solves her childless problem with Mimi's husband Ralph. (1), about life on a communal garden in London as told by two of the residents. Mimi with her husband and 3 children who has an affair with a billionaire (1), a real intro to Zen (1), but my favorite is The Screwtape Letters. (1), Beware of Mrs. Danvers. (1), religious - everyone goes for The Narnia.book series (1), I can reread him once a decade. (1), Like Christie only set in more modern times. (1), probably because he eventually has a love interest which makes him more human than some of the other main characters of the era. (1), If you like one you like them all - I did really enjoy the Lord Peter series though (1), just never thought they could make a book. (1), Like the idea of making lists. I've been making them in my head for ages (1), the Romeo/Juliet thing - it's all here. Held my interest which is interesting since sci-fi isn't my usual read. The house adds and subtracts rooms and items as needed - now that's cool. (1), A bit of everything - academia (1), cheating husband dies and Dell goes on quest to find out who she is and who the woman was that her husband was cheating with. She starts by opening THE HEARTBREAK CAFE. She finds out a lot about herself and life with the help of her friends. (1), similar to Mike Hammer novels. The first is The Deep Blue Goodbye. Travis matures as he grows older in each book. (1), Of all of Robbins' writings I like this one best. It's one of his earliest books and his ideas were fresh. His view on the world of religion is wonderful. If you live for future rewards (heaven) you miss out on all that is happening here. (1), they rest of you are droids sent here to annoy me. (1), profound. He's a master of satire. Insanity runs rampant. Wonderful. As far as I'm concerned the car salesman got it right. I'm the only real person in my universe (1), Vonnegut at his best. Clever (1), Zenna is the mother of science fiction (1), Pretty good stuff (1), adventure/mystery/horror (1), Billed a children's book it has a lesson we all should learn. Don't wish a single minute of your life away. (1), Has some drawbacks but a must read if you are over 50 and under appreciated. (1), A must read. Syfy (1), I laughed (1), I cried (1), Outlandish (1), Awesome (1), Clever (1), Great (1), Sayers (1), Psychic (1), Archeology (1), a novel (1), Christie (1), Sayers and Allingham have the same style. Lord Peter and Albert Campion could be brothers. (1), Allingham (1), wickedly funny (1), extraordinary (1), profound (1), bizarre (1), witty (1), love story (1), sting (1), fantasy (1), time travel (1), demons (1), science (1), vampires (1), love (1), An adult 'Neverending Story' (1), He is the 'father' of science fiction. Easier to read than Isaac. (1), some I don't. It's my belief that Shadowland is his best (1), We all know Adam Dalgliesh. P. D. James is good. (1), some I like (1), Straub has written a lot (1), etc) works. (1), don't care for his newer (McNally (1), Sanders deadly sin series is wonderful (1), even chapters are Holmes and the two do meet (1), odd chapters are Drac (1), The Master of Horror but a bummer of a husband (1), If you skip the history it's a good book. Come on now you know she could have left out some of the Civil War details since all we cared about was Rhett and Scarlet (1), if you aren't interested in it now you will be after you read this. (1), horror - scared me to death for ages. Still get the creeps when I think about it. He has lots of good books but I thing this is his best with 'Strangers' coming in second (1), This is probably the best King book every (1), The best book I've read in the last decade. I can believe someone would spend 50 years dusting. (1), Abby I miss you. (1), I can reread Christie over and over and over and (1), Hillerman writes about people on Arizona Indian Reservations. Since I lived a decade in Arizona I'm hooked. His mysteries are good (1), Herriot writes the most wonderful animal stories. All of his books are good in my humble opinion (1), mystery - if you like Christie you'll like Grimes (1), You've simply got to read GINGER'S WATERLOO. It is a wonderful mind blower! Forget the rest of the book. (1), She's got a lot of books and I like reading each one of them once.
