Oh Boy! I will be at Chapters in the afternoon on the 11th then. I believe most stores are closed in the morning due to the Remembrance Day ceremonies that day.I would imagine it is the same day as in the U.S? (Nov 11th for them, so the 12th for us?)
I decided i needed to read some of James Herbert. So i got four of his books for a cheap price at a used bookstore. They were The Rats, The Fog, Lair and Haunted. Are they representative would you say? Some of his i should try to add? Hadn't read anything of him before so this will be my first taste of him.
I thought the first 700 pages were great, but the ending left me annoyed. Mr Iles portrayal of the period had me hooked and I would gladly have kept reading about it. IMO, the end of the story was a real let down.Just finished "Natchez Burning" by Greg Isles. Loved it. I read "Spandau Phoenix" earlier this year, and wanted to read more from this author. Still have that feeling, even moreso. I have a lot of catching up to do! This book is gold. Can't imagine anybody being disappointed with this terrific fictional picture of the South of the '60's.
Wasn't it you who told us that Natchez is the first of a trilogy???????I thought the first 700 pages were great, but the ending left me annoyed. Mr Iles portrayal of the period had me hooked and I would gladly have kept reading about it. IMO, the end of the story was a real let down.
I probably did. I'm really of two minds on this one. I need to remember that Iles is a thriller author, but the ending is too melodramatic and implausible. Maybe I'm just being too much of a snob.Wasn't it you who told us that Natchez is the first of a trilogy???????
I've never read Isles but I have several I am going to start probably after The Burning Room and RevivalJust finished "Natchez Burning" by Greg Isles. Loved it.

My daughter just finished The Maze Runner & really liked it. Are the rest of the books in the series as well done?After I finished both of the Talisman books I went on to read all the books in James Dashner's Maze Runner Series. Then I read Boys Life and Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Now I gotta figure out what to read next.
Yes and the ending was satisfying too. =)My daughter just finished The Maze Runner & really liked it. Are the rest of the books in the series as well done?
I was fishing around for something to read yesterday and found a copy of The Secret History (Donna Tartt) that I'd forgotten I bought. So far I like it. Her writing reminds me of another time--19th century, maybe--and is quite similar to John Irving at the top of his game. I think it's fair to say that Tana French's odd students in The Likeness owe a lot to Ms. Tartt's odd Greek students in this book.
Holy gawd! After reading Casual Vacancy, I had a dream about it last night. I never dream about books! I dreamt that I was the character who had a crush on the guy in the boy band. I brought him to Florida with me and it was going to be a hurricane there. We had this beautiful room. I realized he was Justin Beiber and also realized I did not want to be with a youngster for pity's sake. I was looking for a gun to shoot him when I woke up. Have mercy!

I haven't. This is my first book by her. I know it got massive acclaim last year, but the scenario didn't really appeal. Is it worth a read?Did you read The Goldfinch?
