[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 106053, member: 3907"] Right now, I'm reading through the Brother Cadfael mysteries by Ellis Peters, interspersed with the Roderick Alleyn mysteries by Ngaio Marsh. Some of my all time favourites: [i]The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts[/i], [i]Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord[/i], and [i]The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman[/i], all by Louis de Bernieres. He also wrote [i]Captain Corelli's Mandolin[/i], and [i]Birds Without Wings [/i](which I am about to start). Anything by P.G. Wodehouse. He has such a delightful way with words. I've had to stop reading his books when I'm on the train, because I sit there and laugh out loud, and people think I'm insane. And, a lot of his books are available as free downloads for handheld computers. (Not a big fan of reading on a tiny little screen, but if I catch myself without a book it's there as a backup emergency one) I recently read Eaters of the Dead (I think it was by Michael Crichton). The movie The 13th Warrior was based on that book. I am a big fan of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware character too. And, strangely, I have been re-reading all of my old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books from childhood. What a hoot. I'm glad I still have several of the old ones, as they have all been rewritten for modern times and they're just not the same anymore. And at Christmas time, I always look for the new Debbie Macomber books about Christmas Angels. Terribly sappy and soupy, but I love them anyway. [/QUOTE]
