Books I've Read

Myron is called to Paris by Terese, who is looking for her ex-husband, who is in BIG TROUBLE. Well, not so much, he is gonna be found dead. But there is trouble enough for everyone else! Win is in fine form.

Myron the ex-basketball star investigates the missing daughter of his childhood friend of the female persuasion. First book I've read of his, full of plot twists and turns at the end. Pretty good.

Man searches for his missing (college-age) daughter. Tons of twists and turns, up to the very end.

Professor reads the obit for his ex-girlfriend's husband. Read it almost straight through.

Myron is hanging out in the Caribeano with Therese when Win shows up to tell him that Esperanza has been arrested for the murder of one of their clients, baseball pitcher Clu Haid.

Heard about this author, not on NPR, but in The Atlantic. It intrigued me, so I check out a few of his books. They are pretty good, as his zillions of readers would agree. This one has strippers and violence, Jersey and Vegas. Good stuff. Couldn't put it down, read it in one day. READ THE LARGE PRINT EDITION, much much easier! Read it agin in 2009! Still great, several weeps.

Let us see, a probably dead guy who is not dead, a parent who is not dead, but is. A hippie killer. A yuppie killer. Russian ex-KGB. A probably dead SISTER. Nothing disturbing here.

Diary of new teacher. Very good, lots of cussin', inspirational.

We meet Eva Wylie, London wrestler, for the first time (I think), as she gets between two gangs battling over the protection rackets. Anna Lee is a periphial character.

London P.I. Anna Lee investigates the film industry.

London wrestler (!) Eva Wylie takes on creeps. Her personality reminds me of Lovejoy. Anna Lee periphial character.

Vicky and Father John get involved in the investigation a girl who was killed in 1973 when her bones are discovered on the reservation.

A teacher recounts how Tourette Syndrome made him the teacher he never had. Oh, that is pretty much the subtitle! Good book.

Arlette Rosen helps people write books. No space ships in this tome, so I had to FORCE myself to finish it, as it gets kinda introspective as we go along. I was near to quitin' when the penis poem came along on page 189. In other new--how come Harbinger says on page 79 that he is NOT a Sikh, the several times, page 208, for example, says he IS a Sikh?

Very intense story of violence and intimidation by 'roided high school football players against the gymnastics squad. Excellent story, but it is not going in the middle school library. A bit too much cussing, violence, and a rape take it to high school. I read the Advance Uncorrected Galley.

Marla Shore finds out who framed her ex-husband in what looks like the fourth entry in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series. Learned about fish raising and coffee plantations.

A boy and a girl at summer camp are marooned, naked, on an island in a lake by their campmates. Very good story, with charming pen and ink drawings.

John James Audubon comes to stay at the house the Celeste the mouse lives in. Very good story, PROFUSELY illustrated.

Published in 1971, this 62-page book is in turns interesting, and faintly disgusting. Illustrated by Jean Zallinger. On Goodreads I learned that the author also wrote The Magic Schoolbus series.

Lots of action. Not a lot of deep thinking required to read. I love the Coast Guard! I probably would have joined the Coast Guard but I figured you probably had to be able to swim, and that's a problem for me. Is there a sequel? 'Cause this one kinda left me hanging, story-wise. But, COAST GUARD IN SPACE!! SPELLED AUTHORS NAME WRONG!! FIX IT!! SHOULD BE "Myke"
