I liked that better than "The Da Vinci Code", but have enjoyed other books of hers more.
I've been reading a lot this past week: "Blood From a Stone" by Donna Leon (part of the Brunetti series), "Cold Service" by Robert B. Parker (a Spenser story), and "Cat's Eyewitness" by Rita Mae Brown. I just finished her latest, "Sour Puss", this evening. She's really changed a lot of things in her last three books.
I enjoyed Marley and me, though it's a little tear jerking. A million little pieces, I'm not so thrilled with, I started reading it after I knew it was partially made up so I think it ruined it.Originally Posted by menagerie mama
Just started reading Marley and Me. I also got the Known World and A Million Little Pieces. I don't remember who they're by but they were in Oprah's book club. I'll let you now how they are!
I'm going to be reading "A child called It." It's about a boy who was maliciously abused by his alcoholic mother. From what I hear, it's pretty horrible...
It was very hard to read, but ended well (from what I remember.)
I have been reading similar books! I got caught up in Dean Koontz! I saw his The Watchers on TV and I knew it was not quite right (actually all 3 of them were not quite right!!!!! LOL!) so I went and read it and now I am caught up in them! <sighL
Right now I am reading strangers!
Here is a website about Lillian Jackson Braun and her Cat who books, for you!

I Am so glad I found this thread, have been struggling to choose books from the library recently, partly cos there are so many, and partly cos most of the authors I like are in hardback, and I don't like hardback (although have relented this week with being off work). Finished a Jeffrey Deaver book this aft, and started on a Jonathon Kellerman. Have another couple of Jeffrey Deavers, an Agatha Christie, and a Richard Layman from the library, and a PD James and Dan Brown from my neighbour. That sort of says the kind of books I like!!! I also like true life crime/murder. Have got some good tips from this thread, but maybe still too many for me to narrow it down when I get to the library! I also recently went on a kids book mission, had to stop as I was getting bored of Enid Blyton though.
Watchers was my first Dean Koontz book too, and it got me hooked! The only thing I notice, is he uses a lot of the same names or similar names in his books, and almost every animal in every book is called "Fur Face".
I just finished Marley & Me and loved it! My last dog was a yellow lab, so I could totally relate.
I read A Child Called It quite a few years ago and thought it was great. The subject matter is quite intense. I read it straight through without stopping when I was on a plane - then I bought the second book to the series and read it on the way home. I've read all of the books in that series. I think the last one is called A Man Named Dave.

Oooh that's a great series isn't it??
I am reading Game Of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. It's good - quite dark, I don't mind it though.
I've just finished, finally, re-reading the Wheel Of Time series - and the new book, Knife Of Dreams. They got a bit slow there for a while but the last one was really good!
I'm a big fantasy nut, and at the moment my brother is competing (and winning) a television game show called the `Einstein Factor' and his knowledge specialty is `The Gap' series by Stephen Donaldson. Cool!
I read the first few pages of The DiVinci Code last night, I didn't have time to read anymore than that. It seems interesting so far, so I hope the book is as good as everyone says it is.
No, it's not just you. For a while they seemed just too far out (the stuff with her niece and Benson, e.g. Blowfly), though the last one I read wasn't bad.
I found that too, doesn't help when you read them out of sequence though!! I am reading a Michael Marshall book but have been unable to concentrate today, think I might re-read what I have already read tomorrow.
