For Us, The Living by Robert A. Heinlein

I read The Kite Runner and it was excellent. Not too political IMHO. I am now reading The Devil in the White City--true story that reads like fiction.

I just read this:

I laughed OUT LOUD all the way through it.

For lovers of period mysteries, I recommend a fairly new author: Will Thomas. He has written two novels set in Victorian London. His first novel is Some Danger Involved. His second, out in Hardback only, is To Kingdom Come. Both are terrific reads, and as good as the first Sir John Fielding mysteries by Bruce Alexander. I am also reading the newest paperback Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Game (Laurie King). It is terrific. There have been others in this series that I didn't care much for.

Please add me to you ping list, TS. This has been a great thread - I like to find out if a book is worth reading by normal, intelligent people before I start it. Sometimes you can figure it out by reading Amazon reviews, but not always. I hate buying a book, reading 50 pages and then realizing that it totally sucks and I don't want to finish it!

On that note...
Reading Lolita in Tehran - sucks
The Mapmakers Wife - sucks except for the last 50 pages
Around Ireland with a Fridge - If you've ever traveled through Ireland, this is a must-read. Having hitch-hiked around Ireland in my 20s, I was ROFLMAO reading this and my husband, who has never been overseas, kept asking what was funny, but I couldn't explain it to him. I said, "You just had to be there."
