E-man. Have you read Pronzini? I thought of you when I was reading the new book. Good solid detective story. I've heard good things, the new one is on my list. (The "to read" pile is down to 11 books, almost time to re-stock!) I totally liked it. Have been looking for a good detective ser...

I've got Watchlist in my desk drawer at work, I get a chapter or two in at lunch. http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/68130000/68134731.JPG http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/77150000/77157440.JPG Joseph Finder recommended Trinity Six by Charles Cumming. I'm only a few chapters in, but it's moving right a...

Really, really liked THE PARIS WIFE ... charming. I'm sure ya'll have heard of THE NAMELESS DETECTIVE series by Bill Pronzini, but his new book (35th in the series) was my first experience. I had read and liked his BLUE LONESOME, but somehow missed the series. Went to the library this evening and pi...

After I saw the movie, I got a copy and re-read it. I've been a Connelly fan for years. Have you seen the film? Loved it, too.

hit my desk this morning. I do love my job.

Well, dadgum. I haven't logged on in a couple of days. Sorry to hear about the truck, but sure am glad you're okay. That was ugly.

BTT.

Thinking of you, Ralph.

I'm late to this, but am holding healing thoughts for Ralph, one of my all-time favorite Reefers.

Rules of Civility - Amor Towles - Don't bother ... it's a hot mess. Soooo pretentious. Blech.




Also read the new Silva. Liked it.

He played the title cut at the Dallas show with Lyle Lovett. I liked it. Hoping to get a copy and an interview with him.

Found it ...

Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West

That's just awesome, Molly. Thanks for sharing.

Healing thoughts on the way for Ralph.

I need a little help phrom my reading phriends. I saw a title the other day and thought it sounded interesting ... two girls from Iowa, I think, set out to teach in the old West ... seems the book was set at the turn of the century ... and the girls *might* have been sisters. Please post the title i...

Just re-read Ender's Game and Speaker For The Dead. Onto Xenocide. Orson Scott Card is satisfying my summer time sci fi geek out until Terra Nova comes on tv in the fall. :lol: I read "Ender's Game" a few years ago and just loved it. When I was reading "The Hunger Games" series ...

Jonathon Kozol was at the conference I was doing booth babe duties yesterday. Picked up this book and I'm already half way through it. Easy read for summer. I HIGHLY recommend it to any teacher, young or old, out there. Kozol was responsible for one of my many "NPR driveway moments" ... y...

Rabbitz: I have no problem with the fans being up close and personal. What I have an issue with - and so do the riders, if you can believe what they say - are the idiots who run along side, touch, push, spit and impede their progress and make it so dangerous. Contador punched one in the face Friday ...

I'm from the South. My grandmother made her own mayonnaise (like Helen Corbitt said) ... we always had Hellman's ... or my grandmother's.

Most of the girls I grew up with use Hellman's. I guess it's what all our mothers used.

I googled tour de france + alberto contador under the blog link ... and I did Karpets + Contador .... But, when I do it now, the links aren't there. Do blog links change if a new blog is put up? Sorry I can't find any more than the two below ... I think one of them was from Scotland .... and one fro...

I'll have to get them from history on the computer at home.
