Just finished Stephen King's "11/22/63".  Really liked it.  Sci-Fi AND a love story!

I'm maybe 200 pages into it and back to blessing the day Stephen King was born.  He's back on track - strong - and I'm in love with his world all over again.  It was so good to see Bev & Richie again, if only briefly.

I caught the Derry visit, and even the reference to It, but missed that it was THE Bev & Richie!

So, let me say "BEEP BEEP, Taffy!"

The Crooked Stick A history of the LongBow by Hugu Soar.   Just in two chapters but so far its very interresting.

I'm maybe a third into 11/22/63 at this point. You're soooo right! Definitely Stephen King. He remains my favourite author. The cross-reference to other stories is a trademark, which you know if you're a follower of King. I can't think of any stories that didn't cross reference (although I can't remember all of the references) ... maybe some early ones?

I had an opportunity to meet Stephen King once, but didn't take it because of the setting. His youngest son and mine graduated college together. King was just standing a few feet from me in the crowd. I just didn't feel it appropriate to approach him at a family-type event.

The End: The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945 by Ian Kershaw.

So far, a very interesting look into why Hitler's Germany continued to fight even after the war was lost.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: Price of Freedom by A. C. Crispin.

Interesting young Jack story which gives a lot of background as to Jack himself and as to why a lot of things in the movie series are the way they are now.

Time and Chance by Sharon Kay Penman.
I had always doubted that Thomas Becket was in the least saint like. This thoroughly researched book agrees with my opinion.

I'm working on The Chronicles of Faerie, by O.R. Melling, currently I'm in the 3rd book in the "trilogy" part of it, called The Light-Bearer's Daughter.  I'm hoping to finish it before I head to the airport Friday, so I can take the next in the series called The Book of Dreams. 
They are tales of a Canadian-Irish connection with the Wee Folk of Ireland and mortals, and wonderful stories that I've thoroughly enjoyed.
When I've finished with The Book of Dreams, I plan to hunt down some of her other offerings online, since only through The Book of Dreams is available in the U.S.

Jack Kennedy, Elusive Hero..... by Chris Matthews
A personal portait of JFK from a more human perspective

UNORTHODOX...by Deborah Feldman
How a woman escaped the Hassidic Jewish way of life to become her own woman. Harrowing about a very secretive side of ultra conservative Jews.

Time and Chance by Sharon Kay Penman.
I had always doubted that Thomas Becket was in the least saint like. This thoroughly researched book agrees with my opinion.

I'll have to read this!  
  In the movie 'Becket' and in most of the (non religiously influenced) histories I've read, Sir Thomas was a hard partier and womanizer in his youth, his primary job being the King's wing man.
  He was appointed to the archbishopric as a favor by the king, which backfired on Henry when his buddy actually took the job seriously.

I've moved over to one of Sherrilyn Kenyons' League novels- She writes these soooo much better than the Dark Hunter series.   Though she sticks with the 'traumatized-in-his-childhood hero' formula (which is getting kinda boring), she writes some of the funniest scenes in scifi.

I just read the Hunger Games trilogy.
Really glad I jumped on the band wagon.
Cleared 3 books in 3 days.
Needless to say I don't mind so much that I had vertigo all weekend cause it got me out of doing all my weekend duties and chores.

Really good books.
I have some issues with the very end of the last book but apparently I am not alone in that.

I really want to read the Hunger Games trilogy...
Right now reading Timeline by Michael Creighton.

[Lady Gryphon]

Since I've spent too LONG day in the passenger seat of the truck I've managed to read
Infamous: Chronicles of Nick
   Kenyon, Sherrilyn  Which is part 3 of a series

and then some light heartede fluff from Shadonna  Richards.


I've started Archimedes to Hawking : Laws of Science and the Great Minds Behind Them  By Clifford Pickover not going to be light reading, but it very interesting if you like Historical accounts. 

I would also like to recommentd    
Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever by  Martin Dugard, & Bill O'Reilly  A very good Historical account of the 15 day prior to the assassination of Lincoln.

I fought reading these books but finally did it and I am glad I did, I like books like these and A handmaids tale, 1984, ect.

Reading Necropolis: London and Its Dead by Catharine Arnold.  Rather morbid but a good read if you are into cemetaries and funeral rights. 

Makes it seem that no matter where you walk you are walking on someones grave in London.
