Read Dead Sleep by Greg Iles. Good premise, not so good execution of it. A better author could have done something worthwhile with this. Also read Code of the Woosters by Wodehouse. He always makes me laugh.

Speaking of laughing, there is a woman at work who, as soon as i appear starts laughing. She says that i'm such a funny guy but i dont even have to say a word for her to start laughing. Oh, well, i guess its good that someone finds me funny,
You bring the bright and laughter to their lives!

I read "Finders Keepers" and was stunned about what a good story it is. I didn't think "Mr. Mercedes" was very good. I decided to try "End of Watch" because it is the last of a trilogy. I haven't enjoyed any of the SK books since "Under the Dome" so I'm delighted to discover the magic stories are back. I don't think there will ever be anything better than the Dark Tower series from any source.

Thumbing through my shelves and saw this one, haven't read it again since I bought it which according to the stamp says 18th May 1985, I really enjoyed it first time round so time to give it another day at the park I reckon.

The Woman In The Window by A. J. Finn. Author's first novel. I know I'm behind the trend on this one because it was published a while back and was a bestseller. I'm liking it so far. Shades of The Girl On The Train, but this one is set in the US. Stephen King liked it and wrote a blurb for it. So did Joe Hill.

Oh yes, I liked that one, too!

I just finished The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson. It was ok. Sort of what I would except from Bill Clinton and James Patterson. :biggrin2:
