reading Kathy Reich's (sp) "Bones to Ashes"...like it.
Then I'll read the third Stone book by Baldacci. Then Stephen White (pysch doc thriller set in Boulder, Co)
Then Lee Child....then....wait a minute, I need a life!
When will Dan Brown's book be out?

Did a "Prey" book by Sanford over the weekend and am reading a Tami Hoag book... someone had suggested her. I am enjoying the Prey series....Tami Hoag is in the undecideds category still....
Sister was in town and mentioned Baldacci....likes him a lot.
Someone mentioned Michael Connelly - I like his Harry Bosh series a lot.

Finished a Tami Hoag book last week or week before.....not my cup of tea. I got tired of the "....she was 5'5", trim, and athletic, but had kicked more a## than half the cops in Minneapolis..." and other such stuff. Maybe it was just me.
Read another couple of Sanford "Prey" series books.....am on a biography of Patton. This guy has a bone to pick - seems to enjoy degrading him, even if giving unsubstantiated reports or opinions.

| There is that.. I've read most of her stuff...but Sanford has the same type of language and worse in his character, Lucas Davenport....

I don't recall which one....sorry. Maybe it was just timing. Sometimes when I have read several of that type, and I had just finished a Sanford book, they get a little sameish. I generally try to mix them up a little.
Ric, you are right about Sanford and Lucas Davenport....maybe that is why the Hoag book read the way it did to me. This happened to me when reading James Patterson - read 7 or 8 in a week - they got pretty old. I have learned a lesson.

Finished Patton: A Soldier's Life, by Stanley P. Hirshson, was a disappointment....one of the poorest biographies of the man I have read. It was a beating.
Started Ishmael today....came highly recommended.....we shall see.....
Tried one Grafton book....we were not on the same page.

Agree with you on The Quickie.....I did it in record time..... His later ones seem like the old, "@hat time you got? You ready to call it a day? Okay, let me send this in first."
Ishmael was a book I enjoyed.....a story told by a gorilla.....no kidding....

Isn't that akin to that other "disorder" where you walk into a room and then realize you forgot what you came after? (happened to me this morning)
