Much like his Spenser books, only set in the old Wild West!<BR/><BR/>And I just finished a book I'm raving about, <A HREF="http://www.recoveringcharles.com" REL="nofollow"> Recovering Charles.</A> It's a fractured family, dealing with personal tragedies and struggles (addiction, isolation), and a son who does not know he's lost. The past rears its ugly head in a phone call, asking him to come find his father in post-Katrina New Orleans. And the recovery -- physical and emotional -- begins. Such great writing and such a good story.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-44926792947598725672008-10-06T23:16:00.000-05:002008-10-06T23:16:00.000-05:00So glad that The Count is taking a turn for the be...So glad that The Count is taking a turn for the better. I loved that book! Orson Scott Card comes to SLC a lot but I haven't been to any of his appearances. But then again maybe I should read one of his books first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-8581359293062406612008-10-05T21:46:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:46:00.000-05:00You're so lucky!

One of these days though, one of these days.<BR/><BR/>Xenocide is one of my favorites of his, but I can see how you definitely need to be in the right mood in order to read that one. Hope it picks up for you!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-38542142328065575722008-10-05T16:58:00.000-05:002008-10-05T16:58:00.000-05:00I unfortunately must have missed one of the rules ...I unfortunately must have missed one of the rules in my speed reading like a dope. Ugh, but do I get some slack since this is my first time participating in the Cybils Awards? LOL<BR/><BR/>One of these days I will learn to slow down while reading the rules...This should teach me a lesson.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.com
