I suggest you post this in the "Post Apoc Books" section in the books forum. You might also find some goodies listed in that thread. I sure have.

Edited about 5 minutes later: Oops! I see you have already posted it in "Post Apoc Books." Good.
I just realized that the second book is out, so I will be making a purchase this week.

I just started The Jane Austen Book Club today. Although, there were a few recommendations after my last post that sounded intriguing. I'll have to check those out at the library. This seems like a rather quick read.

But "The Help" was one of the best books I have ever LISTENED to. It was like being at a play, almost. Absolutely outstanding.

I thought Half Broke Horses was great. I just finished The Crystal House and it had that wonderful "Wow" affect on me. Such a great book. I didn't want it to end.

yeah it was just drama, drama, drama. It was entertaining when they were in their 30's but at 50 it was just a little pathetic that they were still going round the same circles. It was so predictable I started skimming the pages

I am currently reading "The Bone Collector" by Jeffery Deaver.
I finished "Watchers" by Dean Koontz and I was sorry when that book ended. Some books you don't want them to end!
