Just starting "Frankenstein" part 4: Lost Souls, by Dean Koontz. Originally there were only 3 books. If this and Part 5, are anything like the first 3, it will be great reading.

Hi, Sweetie ! I'm very fond of D Koontz and was not aware he'd done a series of books. Thanks for the head's up !

I'm still reading No Time For Goodbye. The police are now showing interest in the case and things have happened that makes the story curiouser and curiouser ! I hope it's a dandy of an ending ! ... lol ... I'm at a point of trying to guess the outcome ...

Almost finished The Green Mile....of course I've seen the film so know the ending but it's a brilliant read.

Such a Stephen King fan, if anyone's not read them I would 100% recommend The Green Mile, Misery and The Shining

I've been on a Stephen King marathon myself lately.

At the moment i'm in the middle of Cell (the end of the world via mobile phone).

I read Misery years ago and think it's an awesome book.

The Shining is something else.
I read somewhere that SK never forgave Stanley Kubrick for the film adaptation. While that's not always a good indicator of a good movie, it was enough to put me off for long time, which also caused a general negative towards the whole story.

Then I caight some of the mini series on TV, and really enjoyed it.
Bought it on ebay and watched the whole thing, thought it was great.
So then I watched the SK version, and thought it was OK (different from the series, but nothing I could see causing so much offence to SK

).
So the book was recommended to me a few weeks ago, but I still had a stack of books to read, but now i'm coming to the end i'm putting The Shining on my to do list

I am reading The Dancer in the Dark by a very sweet friend of mine, Brad Strickland (anyone remember the Wishbone series? Yeah, he wrote some of those.)

Sue K · 26 Sep 2011, 11:55

I'm still reading No Time For Goodbye and several more twists have come into play ! I'm getting curiouser with each chance I get for a read of it. It's a baffler indeed !

Battybarb · 26 Sep 2011, 14:22

I've finished No Time For Goodbye. It turned out pretty okay... plot twists here and there and then I thought... "oh is THAT all it was ?" ... and I did think that one character was not to be trusted and I was right ! He was just too calm and cool about the whole thing. All in all, a decent read.

Now on to a very fave author, Jonathan Kellerman and his character, Dr. Alex Delaware in Obsession. I'm looking forward to a good read. So far so good. My curiousity is peeked to the hilt ! (Is that the correct usage of "peeked" ? It seems not... lol ... Perhaps it should be "piqued" ... right ? My brain's a bit fuzzy this morning)

I'm currently reading the Song of Fire and Ice series; Currently I'm just over half way through the second book

Is that as in tv's Monk (Mr) ? If so, I wasn't aware there were books out about him. I miss him on tv. Imo, the tv show Monk was a nice combo of humor and who-done-it.

Yeah I love Monk, currently rewatching all of it. The books a written by Lee Goldberg, they're on Amazon and some are quite recent. They seemed quite well reviewed as well.

You're welcome, Sue. :)

I'm now on book 5, and so far, so good.

I saw on another post that you are a Jonathan Kellerman fan as well. I am too, really enjoy his Alex Delaware stories as well

A couple more favs of mine are Stephen King and John Saul. :)

Mr. Monk in Outer Space.

Well the books came today. Never have I got through the first 70 pages of a book so quickly! It's a fantastic read, and is just like an episode of Monk. Written through the eyes of Natalie. It has all the comedy and mystery of the series. Will have to order more!

Through the eyes of Natalie ! That's an interesting concept. It sounds like a fun read. Natalie's a great character, bless her... lol ... I'm glad you're enjoying the book. I'm still reading Obsession. I haven't been at it for a couple of days. Maybe I'll find the time today ...

My mother-in-law dropped off a stack of Danielle Steel paperbacks not too long ago. I ignored them for a time, and then two nights ago, for lack of anything else, I picked up "Honor Thyself", and now find myself caught up in the mindless but nevertheless entertaining tale she weaves! Oh well.

I finished Mr. Monk in Outer Space. Over all very entertaining and gripping book. Can't wait to start the next one!

Halfway through 'Moab Is My Washpot' - Stephen Fry's autobiography part I! Usually I prefer novels, but his writing style is brilliant! Can't wait to start 'The Fry Chronicles' ( the second part )! How cool is that, to write the second part of your own bio with only 54!

I love Stephen, and part 2 is as good, if not better!!
