I started Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier after some talk of the author here. I've already read and enjoyed Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel, so I know I'll enjoy Jamaica Inn. So far, so good!

Dying here in pain. Kindle for something to read. "Dark Screams Vol 3" It was cheap, first volume was ok - 2nd not so much. This one so far.. Short stories.
Someone by the name of Daryanda Jones, titled 'Nancy' Here are a few tidbits from this wonderful story.
Do arms do that? Must have been a huge book. I will keep a look out.
Probably going to be a movie soon. It mentioned something about a ghost at the beginning. ?
gah

'recently showered football players strolled past wet hair gleaming. Green eyes sparkled like a moonlit sea. I tore my gaze off Toby MacAfees azz and blinked.. I saw Toby pick the book up, the muscles in his long arms shifting with the the effort, flexing like the swell and rise of an ocean tide.'

finshed Impact and have moved on to Reliquary, which is apparently the sequel to another good novel i read called Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. i have a few books by the two of them or just by Preston, i might have to work through all of those on my catch up campaign

Seems somewhere between fifty shades and twilight in this one. It's all bad. Cringe bad.
I just now finished reading Sycamore Row by John Grisham. Man, this one was a corker! Lots of twists and turns along the way. I could definitely picture the actors from the movie (A Time To Kill) in their respective roles in this book, so much so that I was laughing at times. Highly recommend this one!

fifty shades territory is just the local dump, isn't it? at least judging by actual lines quoted from the book in the honest trailer for the movie. after hearing those, i don't think i'd ever actually open that book LOL. on the one hand, i want to be glad she's getting a lot of people to read, and on the other, i want to be appalled at what she's making people read. so confusing.
I keep finding more and more copies of the books in thrift stores.....

Two of the books on this SK-recommended list are only $1.99 at Amazon today: Devil's Rock (Paul Tremblay) and Brighton (Michael Harvey).
Oopsy. Correct title is Disappearance at Devil's Rock.
Sandman by Neil Gaiman.
Also, hello I'm back again.

Damn, some of them sound really good.
There is a film version as well, made for TV by ITV, starring British actors Michael Kitchen and Penelope Wilton, and it's very well done. Elizabeth Jane Howard is a wonderful writer, very readable, I love her short story, Mr Wrong as well, which is about a haunted car, set in London. It is different and creepy. Wonderful stuff.
now currently reading Howards End by E M Forster. Oh, this is readable and elegant and makes wonderful social commentary for the era. Highly recommended, one of the few English classic writers I love, I don't feel like I am wading through thick and wordy molasses!!
