MrFreefall383 0 #30 February 12, 2007 Sadly I'm in the middle of a bunch of books. Good progress on The Puzzle Palace by James Bamford, and Body of Secrets is the follow-up to that, so that's next. The Code Book by Simon Singh is still pissing me off. Common Sense on Weapons of Mass Destruction by Ambassador Thomas Graham, Jr. is nearly finished, and the next big one is Ghost Wars by Steve Coll."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #35 February 12, 2007 I just finished: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold Sebold, whose previous book, Lucky, told of her own rape and the subsequent trial of her attacker, here offers a powerful first novel, narrated by Susie Salmon, in heaven. Brutally raped and murdered by a deceptively mild-mannered neighbor, Susie begins with a compelling description of her death. During the next ten years, she watches over her family and friends as they struggle to cope with her murder. She observes their disintegrating lives with compassion and occasionally attempts, sometimes successfully, to communicate her love to them. Although the lives of all who knew her well are shaped by her tragic death, eventually her family and friends survive their pain and grief. I returned that to the library today, and picked up two more: The Smoke Jumper by Nicolas Evans In The Smoke Jumper, Nicholas Evans delivers a searing story of love and loyalty, of guilt and honor. Two best friends are in love with the same woman and a terrible mountain fire forces her to choose between them. Set against the epic backdrop of wilderness fire fighting, Evans explores raw but complex emotion, self discovery, and the choice between love and honor. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt Autobiography - McCourt faithfully renders an almost nightmarish youth on the dole in Depression-era Ireland, infusing the tale with exceptional humor and grace. His ability to rise above squalor, cruelty, and neglect and achieve the American dream is an inspiration for all--not just those with an alcoholic parent and more siblings than the family can handle. This is an amazing story of triumph over adversity.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just finished King's Cell and was a little disappointed with the ending. Also Dan Brown's books are good. (havent' read "Digital Fortress" yet).

fallinbear 0 #46 February 13, 2007 QuoteQuote"the five people you meet in heaven" I actually got introduced to this movie by a young lady at Blockbuster about two years ago. I was bored and wanted something "different." She was obviously a very intelligent young lady (even though she WAS working at Blockbuster). I loved the movie. Ended up buying/reading the book. It was great! I got my oldest daughter to read it. Then she and I had this long discussion of people we thought WE might meet. It's nice to be able to have intelligent discussions every now and then! AGREED! Good book. Try "just one more day". It's another one of those reflective make yourself feel guilty about how you've lived your life books.I don't want to make all the decisions because if I screw up, then I can't blame it on you...
