Books I've Read

Finder Chronicles, #2. Really really enjoyed this one, just like the book one. Now on to book three!!

Finder Chronicles, #1. Repo man in space? Well, it's more than that! I liked it very much. Humor helps, some snappy patter, too. I've started book two already!

(Finder Chronicles, #4). Fergus finds himself shipwrecked on a planet in an improbably place. Lots of nifty dialogue!

Finder Chronicles, #3. Ferris has to gather all the pieces and put them back together again.

A very long book, but not as tedious (in the middle) as I was led to believe. I was not able to discern the tedious part, actually. I've thought the series is rather reminiscent of a poor-man's Tolkien, as it were, but then that makes it more accessible to a younger reader, too. I've certainly enjoyed reading it. There seems to be more humor in this, volume 3 of what is now a "cycle" instead of a trilogy. Or maybe I'm just more sensitive to it. I really enjoy the character of Angela. I wonder if there is any fan fiction about her?

Eragon gets a make over.

Pretty darn good story of a boy and his dragon.

Finally I can put "Writ" to this series. My favorite character was Angela, and we find out very little more about her, but that little is very intriguing.

A pregnant teen dies in the hospital, later the girls doctor is murdered, V.I. looks for answers!

V.I. finds a body in a pond. Lots of commentary on the Patriot Act. Not sure who did what to whom. Maker's Mark reference.

V.I. Warshawski.

V.I. Warshawski's aunt is homeless after her SRO hotel burns down.

V.I. tangles with a large company not-unlike Walmart, whose family is up to all sorts of shananigans. She is also coaching basketball at her old school part-time.

V.I. Warshawski tries to find her neighbor's missing friend. Pretty good stuff.

V.I. investigates the death of an escaped prison inmate. Gritty!

V.I. finds out who murdered a young woman at a peace march back in the 60s. V.I. faints on page six. She needs to get her emotions under control.

V.I. Warshawski looks for a missing Labor Union Boss's daughter. First in the series, pretty good!

Crooked friars cause V.I. Warshawski no end of trouble.

V.I. Warshawski is investigating Ajax Insurance again, and some guy thinks he is a holocaust survivor. Very good.

The tunnels under Chicago are flooding, V.I.'s office building is condemned, and some scam is afoot at a non-profit housing outfit.
