NOVEMBER READS

[rapa]

RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT and “Hello November!”

This is a time we give thanks for our joys and memories. Let’s also remember our veterans who have served to preserve our liberties and those who currently serve to maintain them.

Hope you’re finding some reading time. Recently I read two books, both on the best seller lists, and can’t decide which had the sicker story-line. The books are Lee Child’s MAKE ME and Karin Slaughter’s PRETTY GIRLS Both books were fairly mild until the final third and then “BAM!”. Anyone else read these?

I agree Loruach. It's amazing to delve into what reality is and how we perceive it.

I just finished The English Spy by Daniel Silva. It was good; I enjoyed it. But as I look back on these Gabriel Allon novels, I often think that if you have read one of them, you have read them all. Nevertheless, I am sure that when Silva's next one comes out, I will quickly put it on hold at my library.

I've now started The Guise of Another by Allen Eskens, the author of The Life we Bury. So far, very good; if the rest of the book is as good as the beginning, I am going to love it.

Silva is so good, in one of his early novels he describes the assination of an arms dealer who sold weapons to Israel's enemies.  It took place in a Dubai hotel.  A couple of years later the Massad carried out a similar coup in the Dubai hotel. But the theme is usually some kind of revenge on very bad people who are trying to harm the State of Israel. There are some interesting twists to the various tales.

After finishing Greg Isles first book - very long = he certainly gives you your moneys worth in his books,  I am now reading Skywalker - about the Pacific Coast Trail.  I will read Wild in the future.  I read a trip by a woman and one by this fellow about the Appalachian Trail hike.  I have no inclination to do either of these but admire the  people who do.  I love to walk and used to do 5-8 and sometimes 9 miles.  It was always enjoyable and if my hubby were not in a wheelchair, I would continue.  Now I get my exercise in other ways.  LOL Everyone seems to be reading great books.  Happy Thanksgiving to all.  Do not overeat Ha Ha.

My kids are trying to get Trish and I to hike a section of the Appapachian Trail next year....We haven't decided yet but leaning toward having the kids text pictures instead. We can enlarge a few pictures and put them on the treadmill.

I'm just getting into "Stone's Fall" by Iain Pears, a good old fashioned tale of British nobility and the financial world of the turn of the 20th century.  A nobleman falls out of library window to his death and the widow want to see who his mysterious heir is, so she hires a local investigative reporter to do the research under the pretense of being his biographer.  Good read so far.
