Books I've Read

Book three. I think it is more accessible than the previous two books, certainly the first! A bit more humor it has, too.

A writer of scripts has an affair with Princess Diana. Some charactors continue from "The Deal".

A writer tells about eleven women named Karen from his life. Rather sexy, fun, poignant.

A movie gets made about Disraeli, eventually.

Five more stories from the world of "A Wizard Of Earthsea". Very nice.

A conman in prison runs a scam. Very funny!! I am reading this again. Written by a guy who was/is in prison.

My mother recommended this author. I was not TOO excited by this novel, but I am inspired to read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, so I guess that is a worthy accomplishment for Mr. Lehrer.

Interesting mystery story that takes place in Venice. Commissario Guido Brunetti series. The world famous Maestro dies between acts at the opera. Nicely written, too.

Chile Palmer gets involved in the record business.

Takes place mostly in Africa, mostly Djibouti, a place with which I was not familiar. The story moved along pretty slowly, I thought, but the ending is, well, an ending. Chapter five, paragraph, three, I think, it says "Yahama". Did no one notice, or no one cared, or the author did it on purpose?

Faux priest returns from Africa to run a scam to get funds. Very unpleasant descriptions of violence in Africa.

Raylan Given, #3. U.S. Marshall Raylin, with his cowboy hat, looks for the killer of an old man, three women robbing banks, and an escaped gambler, who might have been one of those aforementioned three women robbing banks, but wasn't.

Raylan Givens, #2. More sordid going-ons in Florida.

Foley meets Cundo in prison, ends up in Venice (California) where Dawn is plotting to get Cundo's money.

High diver Dennis goes to Mississippi and meets Civil War reenactors, drug dealers, a Young Dog named Robert Taylor, and cute A lil' ol' hooker named Traci.

Marshal Carl Webster is looking for couple of escaped German POWs in Detroit. Several interesting quotes regarding Honey taking off her underwear could be listed, but I refrain.

San Francisco criminal defense attorney Dismas Hardy solves the mystery of who killed the marijuana dealer his client is accused of murdering. Somewhat confusing, I had to look back in the story several times to refresh my memory of who is who, and who did what.

Iraq war vet comes home to find his war-buddy hooked up with his ex-girlfriend. Pretty darn good. Dismas finally shows up on in Chapter 30 to save the day.

Glitsky is working payroll, Dismas is suing a Patrol Special holder, Wade Panos, for thirty million. Wade takes exception to this.

Wyatt Hunt investigates the murder of a judge and his girlfriend, and the disappearance of Wyatt's new woman friend.
