I started The Zanzibar Chest a few days ago...I've really been looking forward to reading it, but I sure hope it gets better because I am retaining nothing so far!

That one is next on my list, after I finish Stephen King's Dark Tower series. (I'm on the last book in the series now.) I also have a couple of new David Baldaccis and a new Harlan Coben as well as the new Tolkien edited by Christopher Tolkien from an unfinished story found in his father's papers.

Excellent series. I have only read it once but kept all the books and plan on reading it again. I may do that this summer.

Netherland by Joseph O'Neill. I'd been waiting for it to go into paperback. I read the other day that President Obama is reading the book. I wonder if he was waiting for it to come out in paper. LOL

Rick Bragg's, All Over but The Shoutin, and Timothy Egan's The Worst hard time, both great writers and the books are deep enough to hold you from wandering. Egan's book is one of the best accounts of the terrible reality of dust storms in the 30's. The enormity of this eco-disaster is given it's due by Egan, Rick Bragg's account of his Mother's sacrifice's is one of those books that stays with you for a long time, Bragg went on to write another family tale about the Grandfather he never knew, "Ava's Man", it is a good read also.
