I'm reading Clara by Lee Olds.
Different writing style . . .I had to pick up on the flow.

Of course... Duh. I was half asleep when I read your post. Sorry!
That book and the original movie really did a number on this Catholic boy's mind. Still, I go back to both every once in a while. They are truly horrific!
WOW WOW WOW Blatty writes of a true incident that occurred in Maryland back in the '50s, I believe; the possessed was a boy. Blatty was a student at Georgetown at the time. Scary stuff fer sure fer sure.
Did you know that in every archdiocese there is a designated exorcist, a priest selected by the Archbishop?
I'm currently reading Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol". In doing my status of my SK collection, I noticed this book I'd purchased and never got around to reading. So until "Revival" arrives on Nov 11th, I'll be trying to keep up with Robert Langdon. The science of Noetics is a major plot device.
Houdini in Omaha
I read the book when it first came out and still recall being enthralled by it. And the film still packs a wallop when I watch it.
I just bought Margaret Atwood's latest for my Kindle, a short story collection called The Stone Mattress. She's one of my top 5 favorite authors so I am looking forward to this (even though the short story is not my favorite form of fiction).
This is a most beautiful book!! Enjoy!
I used to have the book and movie in my collection, but got rid of them. Too much bad-gunky!!!
FINISHED Natchez Burning and I have just found out it is the first in a trilogy! Yea Yea Yea. AWESOME book, HIGHLY recommend.
Now it's on to A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki

I'm reading The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon. A short novel, just over 500 pages, before I tackle her rooly big one!
It's pretty damn good actually!

I really want to get into her Outlander series! But I believe The Scottish Prisoner is about Lord John Grey?
I read A Tale for the Time Being earlier this year and enjoyed it. It was pretty different than anything else I have read. Enjoy it!
American Elsewhere by Robert Bennett Jackson.
This was an interesting book. Bennett definitely has writing chops and the concept of this story is an interesting one. Enjoyed the scope and reveals of it but felt the pacing of the book was off. In my opinion the story would have been served if it was 100 pages shorter. There's a lot of stuff with secondary characters that is not needed as none of it is integral to the main story.
There was more than enough on display here for me to definitely want to read other works by Bennett - which is the best measure of a book a writer can hope for.
