Books I've Read

Written by Frank Herbert, his son Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson, this volume of various stories, alternative versions, and the orginal version of Dune is pretty good, especially considering I was pretty tired of Dune after reading the first three books and also the serialized version of Dune, back in the day.

Lawyer Hank Sutherland prosecutes an Air Force officer accused of espionage. Pretty good.

A temporally-interlaced novel. Zack Pontowski in WWII and CMS Kamigami rescuing an American senator's daughter take turns having their stories told. Good book.

Col. Matt Pontowski and his merry band of A-10 Warthogs help out rebels in China. Some kinky sex.

Matt Pontowski goes to Israel with his F-15 and meets his future wife. Good techno-thriller, some kinky sex.

An F-4 wing trains and fights in the Middle East. Charactors include Jack Locke, Anthony "Muddy" Waters, General Cunningham. Very good story!

Juanito and his family keep moving from place to place, never setting down roots. He gets into trouble sometimes. They end up in San Diego in 1958. Told in a poem-like style.

First read this story of a new veterinarian joining a practice in the Yorkshire Dales in 1935 many years ago, several decades ago, in fact. Still charming.

The continuing stories of a country vet. First read these back in the 80s, I guess.

Yet more stories of a country vet. This copy has only been checked out by Blevins and Takeuchi, if you can imagine.

I may have read this before, or seen it on television. Charming little stories about a vet in Yorkshire.

A collection of Maynards magazine column, many concerning the mythical bike shop run by a guy named Bob. Most of stories hit the mark, some falter, maybe I did not "get" them because I am not a racer. I highly recommend it to any "bicycle fancier".

Brad and his wife, Amy, travel the U.S. in a motor home searching for the meaning of Faith, Hope, Inspiration, etc., in towns of the same name. Took me a while to get into it, but it was pretty good.

Bookstore owner Claire Malloy reluctantly hosts a convention of Mystery authors and their fans. Pretty humorous.

A kooky artist gets involved in murder. Claire's daughter and her friend dress up like gorillas...or was it bears?

Claire Malloy gets a phone call from a dead person. More or less. Adventures in Mexico!

Claire Malloy subs at her daughter's high school, in the Journalism dept.

Arly is talked in accompanying a group of teens to church camp. A group of women with shaven heads live on the property. One turns up dead. Back in Maggody, the Marjorie the pig is lonely.

Crop circles and UFOs stir up the population.

Chief Arly Hanks has to deal with teen trolleps, Internet porn, a biker wierdo and her mother.
