Summer Reading

Since we are enjoying the last leg of summer, I want to share what I've been reading. Feel free to cap your summer with any of these good books.

• The Genesis Secret by: Tom Knox--Good debut novel heavy in the vulgar. Some scenes are very graphic. Not for the kids.



• The Sinner by: Tess Gerritsen--Sue convinced me to check Gerritsen's work out. Well written and enjoyable medical crime novel.



• Body Double by: Tess Gerritsen--See above.



• Angels & Demons by: Dan Brown--Not as good as The Da Vince Code. Still, okay.



• Just After Sunset by: Stephen King--Nice short story collection. The Gingerbread Girl, N, A Very Tight Place are notable.



• Divided In Death by: J.D. Robb--A light sci-fi romance, what can I say, I have varied tastes.



• Max by: James Patterson--Didn't like it. More for the kids; they should enjoy it.



• Old Man's War by: John Scalzi--Excellent sci-fi.



• The White Plague by: Frank Herbert--This has been on my shelf forever and I finally broke down and read it. I was a fool for waiting. If you can find a copy, worth your time.



• Doomsday Book by: Connie Willis--This title won the Hugo many years ago. I liked it.



• Gridlinked by: Neal Asher--This book has me on the fence. I enjoyed it and will read sequels, but...



• Duma Key by: Stephen King--What can I say, the guy can tell a tale.



• Blaze by: Stephen King--One of his trunk novels never published from before Carrie.



• Singularity Sky by: Charles Stross--Very nice and I don't know why. I just loved the book.



• Bendigo Shafter by: Louis L'Amour--Has he written a bad book? No.

I also started reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series: The Gunslinger and Drawing of the Three. These books have a different flavor than traditional King novels.

I started reading Darkness Calls by Marjorie M. Liu this morning, a Wisconsin writer, and a darn good one at that. Paranormal romance, if genre matters.

Yes, I read all these books this summer. No, I don't watch much TV. Did I miss anything?
