Books & Authors - August 2006

Someone like P.D. James, who I've read a lot of. I don't like crappy mysteries like Mary Higgins Clark -- they're simply not very well written. Suggestions?

does anyone know when dan brown's next book is going to be published? i think it is called "solomon key" or something similar to that. And has anyone read his other books and what did you think of them?

Anyone know when it will be? (The title is dance of dragons if I remember right).

I've done a search and can't seem to find even an estimate. I just hope the next one doesn't take as long as the last one :)

Rose Madder? Mother in Cujo? Carrie? Pennywise? Stu? Who and which book? Add why if you want.

I always liked Larry Underwood in THE STAND. Kind of a winner / loser. Gets a hit song "Baby, can you dig your man?" and the world basically falls apart. He seems to have my kind of luck.

I'd say Charles Bukowski. Please disagree.

Ugh, I read this book and really enjoyed it. I want to see if the author has written more:
Starts out telling about the main character, a girl who wears a uniform that includes a hat that is a blinder of sorts. The women can not speak to the men. The women speak oddly to eachother. The main character moves into a home and has to have s*x with the old husband that lives there. The main focus for these women is to become pregnant.

I know, not a lot to go on. I think it may have been a book club book? Anyone??

I took out "The Land That Time Forgot" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. What do you guys think of it if you've ever read it? I just got it from the library today, and found it just by browsing the shelves. Any thoughts??

At the end of Dan Brown's "Deception Point" there is a code:
1-V-116-44-11-89-44-46-L-51-130-19-118-L-32-118-116-130-28-116-32-44-133-U-130
Does anyone know where I can find out what this means, or does anyone already know what it means? I think it might have something to do with the codes in "Digital Fortress" but I haven't read it yet, so if it does, just let me know.

In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.

I mean think about this logically, would Lily really think that Sirius raising Harry in her absence be a GOOD idea?

This is honestly for those who read and appreciate the Harry Potter series. If you have nothing helpful or creative to say, then don't answer this question. I was completely caught off guard by this pairing and felt it made no sense and wasn't needed at all.

Nicolette is from the North. She is snobby, rude, extremely rich, intolerant of peasants, with long chestnut hair, piercing green eyes, and ivory skin. Semele is from the South. She is kind, compassionate, optimistic, fair, with long ebony tresses, warm brown eyes, and olive skin. Esolde is from the East. She is quiet, intelligent, introverted, self-concious, beautiful, fragile, with platinum blonde curls, deep blue eyes, and pale skin. Willa is from the West. She is a free spirit, blunt, an orphan, tomboyish, sarcastic, lived a life of a sailor, with curly auburn hair, tan freckled skin, and hazel eyes.
These four girls are called by a mysterious object known only as the Compass Rose. They must fufill a prophecy and banish Kashmir, the evil dictator, from their world.
In it is a love story between Semele and a young sorcerer, Willa learns what became of her family, Esolde discovers self-confidence, and Nicolette finds meaning to her otherwise perfect life.
Soo...?
