Thanks for reminding me about Mary Stewart. I used to love reading her books many, many years ago. She must be a lovely person. Maybe I'll re-read them...

(My first thread, hope I'm doing this right!)
I just bought the paperback of 'Lean Mean Thirteen' by Janet Evanovich, and I'm saving it for vacation...Those books are LOL funny...
Sounds like I will love it. Thank you !
Thanks, Auntie Mame. The books have been added to my list.
Since you like historical novels have you tried “The Autobiography of Henry VIII w/Notes by His Fool, Will Somers” by Margaret George? It’s a big, fat easy and informative read. George also wrote “The Memoirs of Cleopatra”. Her books are well researched.
That’s a really broad range of topics, thank you, I think I have read something by Shirley Jackson but can’t remember the title, I can see that I’ll be having a lot to read here. :-)
Jury duty time is a great time to catch up on reading! Thank you, they sound really interesting and good luck with your case.
Thanks, that sounds really interesting. I hope it is not over my head. I have heard about this book and was curious about it. Sounds like everyone should read this book.

You’re right, I should have specified my tastes but I really do like reading most genres. And it does depend on what I’m feeling like at the time.
You’re right about the lack of time!
I love romance, mysteries, politics, medical, classics and actually there is no type of book on that list that I would not consider reading. Thank you !
Yep. Freepers are readers. You definitely opened the flood gates, LOL!
One summer I read every single Nero Wolfe book that Rex Stout wrote. In addition to great mystery stories, you get a vocabulary lesson.
I don’t mind chick lit !
Sounds like a beautiful book, I belong to a couple of book clubs and this sounds like one they might enjoy too. Thank you.
Actually I took a test not too long ago and wrote that if I could go back to one era it would be the civil war time so that would be very interesting for me. Thank you.
Thread on great review of my new book here:

Yep...read both of those too.
I sure did, can’t believe all of these great recommendations from all of you nice people. I will be very certain to print this all out !
I had a mental image of Nero Wolfe's house, room by room, when I read those great books.
I did read the Exorcist, love mysteries and there is someone very dear to me who loves it when I read about military history. Thank you !
“From Darwin to Hitler”-Weichert
Wow, I could be reading forever with that great list. I don’t think I’ve read any of those. That’s really interesting that you got your username from that book. It must be a great one. Thank you !
