Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner.
I am absolutely LOVING this book, savoring each word.
I also got Angle of Repose by Mr. Stegner this weekend. I thumbed through it and started salivating. How is it that I'd never heard of this man until I found Crossing to Safety in Goodwill? Seriously.
I've looked through his "catalog" of books and will be ordering three more by him. He was (oh, how I wish he was still alive and writing!) a glorious writer, with an incredible way with words. So many times, even though I'm not even half way through Crossing to Safety, I've stopped to reread a sentence or two. They were just THAT good! Beautiful. And the fact that I'm adoring the story itself of Crossing to Safety just makes it that much better -- a perfect reading experience.
Ketabcha? Are you here? I highly recommend this book to you.

"Sacrament" by Clive Barker.
The beginning of it was a little dull, but I kept going and it became interesting in a disturbing way, and now I am into it, waiting to see what happens next. Almost done with it, about 75 more pages to go.
Also reading "The Cat who knew Shakespeare" by Lilian Jackson Braun. I was misled by these books, thinking the cats had more to do with the story line, but so far, the cats were only mentioned a few times. And now i am stuck with way too many of these! I do hope the cats get more attention as the years go by. Otherwise, these books will get read some day, just not anytime soon! I have about 15 of these books.

I just started Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, at the recommendation of a colleague... we were talking about horror novels, and she said I had to check out this author. I'm only about 50 pages in, but so far it's pretty good!  |
