Default Re: What do you like to read?

I'm looking forward to reading that Stephanie Meyer book too.

I'd picked up another series by Cornelia Funke. She's a German writer. I've loaned those books out and they've been out over a year. It's a trilogy with the first two installments done. Inkspell I think. It's about readers who are able to make characters in a book and people in the real world exchange places by reading aloud. Wonderful story teller. She's written several other things too, but I think these are her best.

The Bartemaus Trilogy. Lemony Snicket.

I love a good mystery and a good adventure. I'll read anything by Tom Clancy or John Grisham. Other Authors are hit and miss. Nevada Barr is good for the most part. I like the Goldy Bear mysteries -- she's a caterer. I start out with a lot of authors until their books start to run together and I can't remember which book was which. I also don't like a book with a lot of curse words in it. Ruins a good story IMHO.

There is also a series of murder mysteries by a woman names Camille Minichino. In addition to teaching math, I've also taught several science courses and she's written mysteries about the elements -- carbon, oxygen, helium . . . they are kind of fun in an Americanized Agatha Christie sort of way.

I also like Sci Fi, if it's no so far out there I can't follow it
