Books I've Read

Twelve short stories, each with a "red herring" to discover, none which I could figure out. But the stories are still pretty good.

Lance continues the narrative of his career, marriage, and cancer survival. Does not include the Sheryl Crow era, that is probably in the next book.

Lance tells his story of cancer and winnnig his first Tour de France. Excellent and inspirational.

This was a really good book by the actress that portrayed Nellie on Little House On The Prairie. It's about her life, good and horrible, and what she made of it. Her mother was the voice of Sweet Polly on freakin' Underdog!!!

Picked this orphan book off the middle school library shelf. A really rich, detailed story of poor Kentucky hill farmers. One man's obsession with foxhunting, to the detriment of his family, is central to the story. I would like to have learned how his daughter's pregnancy turned out.

Tami and Richard set sail for San Diego from Tahiti. Richard goes overboard and is lost during a hurricane, and Tami must survive, trying to sail the dis-masted boat. They made a movie of this true adventure/disaster.

Nine stories about robots linked by narration of Susan Calvin. I fear the movie...

Writing as Paul French, this is one of Asimov's juveniles. The Sirians have established a base on Titan.

Fifteen classic stories, including "The Witches Of Karres". 2005

Twelve stories from Asimov's magazine. Especially like "The Jaren".

Hugo winners for 1970-1972.

Hugo winners for 1973-1975. Some fabulous stories here.

Some mighty good short little mysteries in this volume.

A Spencer book written by another author after Parker's death. A young girl hires Spencer (for a box of donuts!) to look into the murder of her mother.

A Jackson Brodie book. Engaging story, full of the usual twists and turns. Honestly, I get to the end and I STILL don't know what is what. Silver BMW, some girl named Darcy, and the title - what does the title mean?

I like this book very much. There is a lot of sly humor, and some very sad parts. A good mixture. Let me just say I have never thought much of the idea of retiring in another country, though. Everyone in books seems to want to go live in France, or Costa Rica, or Alaska, for cryin' out loud. I am not one of them. Maybe it's the airplane thing, I don't know. I like how the story may be continued a bit in another book, I'll have to get them and see.

Great book, surprise ending. It took me until page 317 until I realized who Julia was. And I just read the previous book in April!

Juliet gets a job in a spy organization in WWII London. I love the writing, the story was OK, but I didn't care for the ending. I should probably read the ending over again to see it grows on me.

I finished this morning, now I've nothing to read. Lots of twists and turns. I read the large print edition. It is SO MUCH easier than the paperbacks. I was worth driving to the library three cities away to borrow it. Thank goodness for the county library system!

I was reading page 198 when I said out loud, "Who the hell is Tessa?" Well, now we know.

Only took me two weeks to wade through this! I like to see Robert B. Parker take a crack a re-writing this. I finally got excited about the story in the last seventy-five pages, and actually laughed out loud a couple times!
