Yes! And I loved the sequel (Angel of Darkness) as well.
Did you like the Italian Secretary too? I enjoyed that. I love Caleb Carr. He is a bit of a loner in his private life. Lives in his house on a mountain and keeps himself to himself a bit....my kinda man lol.
It is scary how many years so many of us have been posting and chatting every day online. Amazing is it not?
I've not read it, but have a copy. I will get to it straight away!
I have kept track of all the books I've read for the past 15 years. I read The Alienist in 2009, so we've been chatting a loooong while!
Two hours ago I gave $5 to the Salvation Army man sitting at his stall on the footpath on Maitland Road. He gave me a little pamphlet called, 'Putting First Things First', then I noticed a book on the fold up card table by a guy called Philip Yancey. 'The Question that never goes away.' He said I could borrow it and return it when he's up at Beaumont Street on Fridays.
That was nice of him. Lots of deep thinkers and readers in the Sally Ann.
I have been on here since 2006 ....last count. But I think it is not recorded about the earlier message board that I was on lol.
I didn't get here until 2008, but I remember you as a very welcoming part of the SKMB.
Well, I finished Salem's Lot yesterday.
A great book, just as good as I remember it.
I was reading the Illustrated Edition and have to say I really enjoyed the short story called "One for the road" that was included after the main story too.
I wasn't sure what to read next, I couldn't decide between Carrion Comfort (Simmons), Cell, IT or The Stand.
So after a good 10 minutes or so of staring at my bookcase, I am gonna blitz through Dolores Claiborne (great and relatively short) instead while I make my mind up!

#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
Just finished a reread! (The ending is different than the movie, but I won't spoil it for you) That Annie Wilkes is a real "cockadoodie" sicko
Now I will have to watch the movie to compare

I had not heard of this, will check out my library or B&N or Amazon post haste! Thanks for bringing this title to our attention. I just loved his first two!
P.S. I found it in my library! In the description of the book this was added:
Caleb Carr teaches military and diplomatic studies at Bard College. Interesting, eh?

I have less than a hundred pages left in I Am Radar, by Reif Larsen. I'm unsure how to describe the plot, or maybe plots would be appropriate, and the canvas is wide so the ending will be the key. Aren't you glad I cleared that up.
I'm also reading The Miniaturist, by Jessie Burton. A very engaging story in 17th century Amsterdam where an 18 year old woman enters into an arranged marriage with an older man and his cold and imposing sister and mysteries abound.

Finished the Walking Dead book (pleasant, like the first, but nothing world shattering) and started Fevre Dream--VERY good, so far!

OMG, Annie Wilkes is insane! About a 1/3 of the way with the book...

Oh, you haven't gotten to the really crazy stuff yet!
Started The Boar by Joe Lansdale last night. It was written as a venture into the Young Adult novels, and while I can see that after having read half of it, I can also see that it's not really just a YA novel. It's a coming-of-age story. It's another great Lansdale book!
I didn't know there was a sequel! I'm going to look it up--I really liked The Alienist.
I loved The Alienist but I don't believe I finished Angel Of Darkness. I found it boring.
