The Last of the Mohicans
Finally, I came across one of these threads while it was active, instead of one or two mos old. (Is there a ping list?) Anyway, I just finished a trio of old murder mysteries from the forties: The Sleeping Sphinx, Beagle Scented Murder and Death of a Doll. They were great; I love older fiction.
Btw, I am an aspiring Young Adult Christian Fantasy/SF writer, with reason to believe I may soon be published. I’m always looking for good beta readers. If you would like more information, please PM me; thanks!

3. The Synoptic Gospels (bible study materials)
4. Don Camillo (humor, small-town priest in post-WWII Italy spars with communist mayor of the town.)
5. Percy Jackson and The Olympians, vol. two, The Sea of Monsters (reading out loud with kids, juvenile lit. with adventure and humor, Freepers would think it’s a bit “green”, but would like that a major point is that western civilization is worth fighting to save.)
