Time Traveler's Wife...Audrey Niffenegger. Saw the movie on disc a couple three week ago, enjoyed that, now the story in word form. I think maybe it helped to have seen the movie? Read Tery's book before this...after finishing The Recognitions. I'm maybe 12 books behind schedule if I want to crack a hundred this year...would be the first time in...some time...if I fail to read a minimum of a hundred stories. Thought I had some Chandler shorts on the kindle but nope...Hammett...nope. Haven't read Finders Keepers yet...that's on the kindle, waiting. The last comes out in June? I'm wearing socks.

Really interesting and makes a person think about their remains. The cost. The waste of it all.

Such a shame that there are ........ ahem ......... certain companies / people acting on behalf of the companies that treat this industry as a cash cow. I had the task of organising my ex partners mothers funeral and for a basic, it ran into several thousand pounds -with a large chunk of that being for "consultation fees" ........... Not good. Not by any stretch

i'm reading Pines by Blake Crouch. The first in his Waywood Pines trilogy. Not so many surprises so far since i have seen the tvseries but there are differences.

Oh! What a good idea! The first season of Wayward Pines is still on my dvr and I was going to re-watch it before the second season started but reading it is a much better idea :) I read somewhere that the first season covered the first three books so the books shouldn't spoil the second season and the kindle formats are very inexpensive :)

I read my first cozy mystery a few days ago (The Deep End by Julie Mulhern). It was a low violence mystery with a tiny bit of romance, nothing thought provoking, characters were a bit stereotyped, took place in the '70's (before cell phones). I liked it :) I read the next two books in the series (she hasn't written a forth yet) and now I'm reading a cozy mystery by Susan Boyer. I'm not sure I can recommend cozy mysteries unless you're looking for some mindless entertainment :)

Picked this up todAy for $1.50 in the old fashioned file sharing shelf '2nd hand bookshop' anyone read it? Worth a look?
SK reckons so.
I really enjoyed it, as well as another of his books, The Angel's Game. I haven't read the third in the series yet (Prisoner of Heaven). Spanish writers have a lovely, poetic way with description.
