LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) Water For Elephants by Sara Green: Wow - what a great book! My friend Jenny loaned it to me because it sounded interesting. Think depression era circus life mixed with murder and
a great plot twist at the end! Most of the events in the book were based on true stories &
events from real circus performers...and apparently, if someone tells you the worked
at the circus carrying water for elephants...they're full of shit!

2) Beauty & the Beast by Ed McBain: Another Matthew Hope Calusa,FL novel. Did the Beast
kill Beauty? I'll never tell.

3) New Destinies vol.IV Summer`88 by Jim Baen, ed: SF & Non-SF stories and articles about women warriors & nuclear winter, among others. This series was an attempt to publish a
magazine format in a paperback book size.

4) Deadlock by Sara Paretsky: A V.I. Warshawski novel about a female P.I. This series novel
was the book the movie 'V.I.Warshawski' was based on, though Kathleen Turner didn't
seem to fit the character the way she was written in the book. But the book involves the
death (was it murder or an industrial accident?) of V.I.'s cousin 'Boom-Boom', the retired hockey player.

5) Booknotes by Brian Lamb: Based on the C-SPAN show of the same name, the book
features non-fiction authors, both well and little-known discussing how they came
to write a/the book they are known for.

6) Blind Voices by Tom Reamy: Evelyn falls for the Magic Boy in the second circus book
in this half-dozen. What's the secret of the Minotaur,the Gorgon, the Mermaid, & the
Snake Goddess? You'll never guess. (Very odd the way there's 2 circus books in this lot,
not sure how that happened, probably the only circus fiction I've ever read...
