I didn't care for "Buick" for some reason. If you haven't already, you should read "the Talisman" before "Black house" and the 4 previous instamments in the Dark Tower series before "Wolves".

I agree with Rednekk. BUT, if you have already read the other books in both of those series (Talisman and DT series) and are just looking for a recommendation, I'd recommend "Black House" over "Wolves." I loved "Black House"--good book, and very creepy, IMHO. "Wolves" was OK, but kinda slow in places.

That's a pretty good book. I really enjoyed how they didn't sugarcoat the fact that it's not easy to make it down there. It helped to sober me up out of my pipe dream. (at least for a month or so)

The Five People You Meet in Heaven
by Mitch Albom
Quick book to read - a little choppy but it does make you think. Tuesdays With Morrie was written much better.

Tuesdays is one of my all time favorite books. 5 People had it's weak spots, but all in all pretty good I thought.

ooh - how is that one? I loved Da Vinci Code so much, I"m reading Angels & Demons ....i'd like to read deception point next.....do you know if those are the only ones he has out?

dan brown books that do not deal with Robert Langdon are Deception Point and Digital Fortress. look for the next in the Robert Langdon Series to come out next year.

the best thing to do is after you read one dan brown novel, go to his website (http://www.danbrown.com) and look at the "secrets" behind each book. but dont look at the secrets to a book you havnt read yet, it will spoil it for you!

The Murder Room, P.D.James

I too read all of PD James' books. Anything mystery, but they usually need to be ones that make you think a bit. Other good mystery authors, Martha Grimes, Elizabeth George, Elizabeth Peters, Colin Dexter.
I loved Dan Brown's books. If you want to make your head spin go to his web site and try to get thru his code breaking puzzles.

I think the one you're thinking of is called "Dolan's Cadillac," which is in the book "Nightmares and Dreamscapes."

Any John MacDonald fans?????

I love Elizabeth George and Martha Grimes, too. I have just started John LeCarre's Absolute Friends.

longlinergirl, I read all the John MacDonald books many years ago but they would definitely be worth another look - thanks for reminding me.

"Tale of Two Cities" is one of my most favorite books. I would say in my top five. I think Dickens is my favorite author.

CUparrot wrote:"Plantation" by Dorthea Benton Frank
It's pretty good, but it is definitely sort of a "chick" book. A story set in the lowcountry of S.C. about a woman's relationship with her mother and that kind of girly type stuff.

I read her "Sullivan Island". I liked that, although I had some criticisms of the ending. I'll have to read "Plantation".

That's one of the three people to whom Jimmy dedicates "Nobody Speaks to the Captain No More". And Jimmy's list of books to take to a desert island includes his "No One Writes to the Colonel".

I've never read any of his writings. Do you like it?

I'm now drawn into the Da Vinci code thanks to another thread on this site.
