Posted by admin | Worldly Views | Saturday 8 January 2011 22:41

I have a Kindle!

Aren’t kids great!

Oh yeah, I know nothing new for some of you, but for me, WOW!

Works fast, downloads books in a second, is very easy to operate!

First book by James Patterson of course!

Now reading some “hardbacks” I also received for Christmas and last birthday.

Still like that “feel.”

Old people find changes are hard to make.

Report on a new read shortly…

You need a Kindle!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Stieg Larsson

Posted by admin | Great Fiction | Sunday 28 November 2010 10:36

Yes, I have now read this suspenseful novel!

I know. I know. This is not something new.

But, I didn’t realize my daughter had the book until she said “Here!”

A lot has been written about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

Controversy has surrounded the book, the author, the movie, and the remake of the movie.

Lots and lots of readers say they cannot put the book down, but a lot of readers say the book is very slow.

I say a lot to learn about yourself when you read this brilliant novel!

We are most always not what we seem by our looks.

The same goes for Lisbeth Salander, a studded, tattooed, dark genius!

The same goes for Martin Vagner, a CEO, privileged family member, serial killer!

This story is about an old man’s love for his long missing niece and his finding out what happened to her forty years ago.

Henrik Vagner, the old millionaire uncle, hires Mikael Blomkvist, a financial journalist, to finally solve the decades old mystery of Harriet Vagner’s disappearance.

Little did Mikael know that the Vagner clan had such deep dark secrets!

Really enjoyed this read! You should too! Get “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” here!

Moscow Rules – Daniel Silva’s Finest Yet

Posted by admin | Best Novels | Sunday 14 November 2010 00:08

I’ve been “gone” for awhile.

Recovering from heart surgery.

A large chisel and hammer were required.

Time for reading. Great reading.

Daniel Silva is one of the best authors in the world.

Moscow Rules proves his prowess!

My new heart was moved, thrilled, and left beating faster!

Gabriel Allon is the man, a current man, not a man of the past.

While Gabriel is working on a restoration for the Pope, also being on his honeymoon, the grandmaster of Israeli security Ari Shamron gets him to investigate the murder of a  Russian journalist.

This investigation leads Gabriel to Russia, the New Russia, where money is now the chief weapon.

One such man of the New Russia is Ivan Kharkov, a wealthy businessman who is selling illegitimate arms around the world.

The plan of action is get inside or close to Kharkov and this sets up a brilliant plot across Europe.

Yes, this is Daniel Silva at his best!  Buy Moscow Rules for yourself.

The 9th Judgment by James Patterson

Posted by admin | Best Novels,New Novels | Saturday 7 August 2010 19:10

As most of my readers now know, James Patterson is my favorite author!

I have most of his novels and enjoy going back and rereading several times!

The 9th Judgment did not disappoint.

This sometimes spine-tingling, fast-paced, heart-rendering novel is a another Women’s Murder Club hit!

Having daughters and a daughter-in-law remind me too quickly what can happen to them and my grandchildren if a maniacal killer reared their ugly head in our area.

This particular book seemed too delve more deeply into the private lives and feelings of the “club.” Especially Detective Lindsay Boxer since she has a fiance now and is experiencing the many sides of giving and taking in a martial relationship as they are living together.

There are actually two cases of murder that Rich and Lindsay are investigating the “the Lipstick Killer”, and the other involves a cat burglar nicknamed “Hello Kitty” which also involves the murder of  a famous actor’s wife.

As always I never reveal to much, but I can attest to reading the entire book in about 4 hours! Could not put this one down!

Thanks again James Patterson! A must get for yourself! The 9th Judgment!

I am also presently reading “Standard of Honor” by Jack Whyte and “The Assassin” by Stephen Coonts.

Be sure and read a fiction book today!

Pillars of the Earth – Ken Follett

Posted by admin | Best Novels,Worldly Views | Sunday 18 July 2010 23:39

This is going to be great!

One of my favorite authors!

One of my favorite novels!

Made into a movie! Wow!

Best part is Mr. Follett had a hand in everything, so I know this will be a fantastic watch!

What a great cast including one of the all time greats, Donald Sutherland!

Of course my experience has been the book is always better that the movie, but knowing Ken, this will be great!

On Ken’s blog he writes: “The average lifespan of a man or woman in the Middle Ages was much shorter than today, and they started to act as adults when we in the 21st century would still consider them children. That short span gave immediacy to the experiences of life, especially during outbursts of violence like “The Anarchy,” Stephen and Maud’s brutal and protracted civil war.”

I wish you great success with this endeavor!
