LOL! Just noticed that my winky emoticon didn't go through (stupid phone). No offense intended-promise I didn't have my sense of humor removed lately

I know, i know. tre true but it is difficult. Anyway i manasged to tear myself away and go to sleep. I'm proud of myself.Reading a new King book is tre important, but getting your sleep is way more important. The book will always be there.

You have a rich "inner life" - nothing wrong with making the little grey cells work morganI hear ya! I was conflicted too-have a few hundred pages left of my Stand reread but decided to start Mr. Mercedes anyway. Now I feel disjointed-almost like I'm betraying Frannie, Stu, Nick, etc. I need to get a life.
One of my favorite Iles books is Turning Angel. And even though I've read most of his books and really enjoyed them, Spandau Phoenix I couldn't get into. Started it briefly and put it aside for another time. Blood Memory is another I like.Thanks to several posts on this thread, I decided to try something by Greg Iles, an author I have not read before. Everyone seems to be keen on "Natchez Burning", but I thought I would start with an earlier one, and checked "Spandau Phoenix" out from the library. Good, fast-paced story. I always like the mix of historical facts melded into fiction, and this one was spun in a very believeable way, which kept me thinking, "Well, who's to say this couldn't have happened??" I think I will be reading more by Iles, but the other book I checked out (at the same time) was "Swamplandia", by Karen Russell, another new author for me. I've just started with it, so will be back when I finish.
I can't wait!I am reading Mr. Mercedes now and it's brilliant. Just brilliant. It's got everything I need!
