I've been going through books like toilet paper lately. I had read the Ender's Game series, then after a couple of Jeffery Deaver and David Baldacci, I finally got Speaker For The dead also by Orson Scott Card. Thoughful reading.
Right now, I'm momentarily between books, but not for long. What do they call it?
I know, bookworm!

Been too distracted to read lately...need to get back in the mode.
I just finished Speaker for the dead, a sequel to Ender's Game. I've got a few books on order, but none have arrived yet. On deck, I've got a book by Michael Connely, The Brass Verdict. John Grisham's The Last Juror, and Sara Paretsy's Windy City Blues.
Decisions, decisions.
I think Sara, I haven't read one of her books for awhile.

Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD. I stopped eating white wheat products 18 months ago, shrunk 4 sizes. Now I've cut wheat out of my diet--appetite is down, and I feel great. Interesting read if you've got that spare tire syndrome going.
I've been going through books like crazy lately. Last night I started Hell's Corner by David Balducci.

I've just started Aku Aku by Thor Heyerdahl, nonfiction telling of his voyage to explore Easter Island. A sort of follow-up to Kon-Tiki. Found it in a thrift store for $5. Lots of color photos.
Aunt Bea, I know you're a sharper shopper and probably wouldn't have paid so much for it, but sometimes ya just gotta.

Brought a stack of old magazines to read and leave with Loverly. Since we didn't know how long we'd be here I didn't want to get library books.

Just finished The Alienist: Caleb Carr: 9780812976144: Amazon.com: Books. My wife thought it was one of the best books she’s ever read, and she doesn't even like “detective stories”.
I think the only reason she liked it so much was because it was written in the very proper language of the time the story is about. Personally the same proper language made very hard for me to read. Having hard time reading it I was forced paying closer attention to the story line witch I found fantastic, no not “great” but fantastic as a fantasy. Not going to into details, I would rate this book as poor at best.

Just finished "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. It was very intriguing. Not sure how they were able to do the movie.

Two books found their way home with me from the library when I stopped to get my videos: "Dinner With the Smileys" (I read an excerpt in Parade Magazine this past summer and found the mom's process delightful), and "Goodnight Mind: Turn Of Your Noisy Thoughts and Get a Good Night's Sleep" (because the symptom descriptions on the jacket are SO our son). Don't know which to start first, so they'll probably end up tag-teaming until theyre both finished.
I had to sit and wait for jury duty on Wednesday (I wasn't called to a jury but I did sit from 8Am to 4PM) so I started Wild Card I. It is now on the Kindle!
I'd like to read that, but it isn't available for Kindle. Oh, pooh!
Which reminded me of different trilogies, different time and place, I read (and re-read) years ago.
The Balkan Trilogy by Olivia Manning.
The Levant Trilogy , same author

You would have loved Gillian's discussion with Carl Hiaasen. I loved the book. My sister-in-law hated it. I can't wait to see the movie.
Here is a hysterically fun discussion between Gillian Flynn, Megan Abbott and Laura Lippman about their love for Lifetime Movies. It was one of the major highlights of the past weekend.
