These are all fiction
For espionage-mystery folks - Trinity Six was a great read
Am now reading another of his books - Typhoon
Author: Charles Cumming
All of Kate Atkinson's books (4 of them) are well-written and very good stories
Sweetwater by Roxana Robinson
The Emperor of Ocean Park - Stephen Carter (a Yale law professor who can write a really good story)
Desperate Characters - Paula Fox
Jane Gardam's Old Filth (stands for Failed in London, try Hong Kong) a story told from the husband's point of view
and, The Man in the Wooden Hat - same story from the wife's point of view
Joseph Kanon's The Good German - good book, awful movie
Louise Penny - all of them - read in order
The Fox's Walk

<I LOVED Jean Auel's series... But I read it about 15 years ago! I was so excited to see the new book out, but read the reviews and they were awful. I am afraid it will be a waste of time and money.> :-([/quote]
I NEVER almost NEVER buy a book...that is what a library is for!! Since I seldom re-read a book, buying is not for me..

Wow, what wonderful suggestions..I read constantly so now I have some new ideas. I do like political thrillers...Vince Flynn is my current fav. On the other side, I am really enjoying Richard Paul Evans stuff..a far cry from political thriller..LOL..love all the quilting books that have been mentioned...just plain love to read..how about The Shack? Anyone read that?
