I need more books!

Not exactly a book but good reading anyway.

My latest book is "People of the Lakes". I never thought fictional, pre-history could be a great read, but I like it.

In the barn I have at least (8) 3'x2'x2' tupperware containers full of Sci-Fi, Adventure, Science and Technology, and everyotherdangthing books that I've read and re-read so many times I don't care if I ever read them again.
If this miserable cold keeps me home long enough I might index them.
Make me a reasonable offer.

Maybe I should put 'em on ebay.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of Sterling I'll keep an eye for that next time I allow myself to go to a bookstore -I'm about 10 feet of bookshelf space behind in reading books I've already bought :)

The only problem with me being Mr. Right was she didn't realize my first name not Always, it is All Ways. ;-)

Melanie Rawn's books one more time. They actually had a Europe/US political view embodied in several characters...

Her interview on BBC from 1993-1994 I believe it was mentioned this concept in retrospect...

Having now read Foreigner by CJ Cherryh I'm trying to buy the next couple in the series but I can only find them second hand and Inheritor only in hardback at ?20! Thanks a bunch, Tony! That's drinking money I've got to spend. :p

The Skystone (Camulod Chronicles) was enjoyable but I'm not completely sure that I'll buy any more yet. I probably will.

Starting The Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind next.

Thanks, all. Hope some others have got good suggestions!

Neil :D

I suggest anything written by Admiral Daniel V. Gallery including his Autobiography. His account of the capturing of the U-505 during WWII is a great naval tale.
Another author that I've enjoyed on the lighter-side are the weirdly titled collections of short-stories by Patrick McManus, first given to me as a gift. Now I have everyone of his books. I don't often read humor, especially outdoorsman type humor, but this author has a different slant and is one of only a few that can make me laugh right out loud. Sometimes I need that.

Neil: the Potter series is good if you like the dark side of stuff. Having read then watched the movies, I was amazed at how closely my mind developed the sites to those of the movie producers. Makes for interesting but heavy (the thickness of the books)reading. Ramona

There is a series of 'children's books' called the Dear America series. They are diaries of kids who lived in various times from coming over on the Mayflower through World War II and based on actual writings. They make good quick interesting reading. Try the juvenile section of your local library for these and other books. Any more, I'm finding more interest in the Young Adult and Juvenile sections than adults for reading material. Ramona

Great book - full of intrigue, action, a little romance, and exceptionally extensive research! Just what I've come to expect from Crichton.
At the end of the book, Crichton states his opinion - global warming may be happening, but is probably only minimally caused by human activity, is very possibly a net positive, and action to stop or reverse any warming that is, in fact, occuring is (as have been most attempts at environmental management) very likely to suffer heavily from the interferance of the Law Of Unintended Consequences!
