LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) The First Eagle by Tony Hillerman: Acting Lt Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police
& retired Jim Leaphorn run across murder and the plague on the Reservation.
An interesting look at Native American life in the 20th Century.

2) Forever Odd by Dean Koontz: The further adventures of Odd Thomas. As usual,
Dean Koontz rarely disappoints.

3) The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley: Haunted by the ghosts of
the books that have passed through it, that is. Before the armistice the "Huns" had spies
in the U.S. Plus there's an ingenue, an old-fashioned hero, and books & more books.
First published in 1919, an interesting look at a long gone past life.

4) Gold Coast by Elmore Leonard: Dead gangster's wife is trapped by her husband's
will. Hero is manipulated by dead gangster's wife. Trouble ensues...another great
Leonard book.

5) The Midnight Club by James Patterson: Back before he became the chronicler
of Alex Cross, he wrote this book about a 'club' of gangsters and the killer
called 'the grave dancer'. Not bad, but the cop in the wheelchair was a bit much.

6) The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger: If you've seen the movie made from this book,
you have got to read this book! The events surrounding the storm in October 1991
that sank the Andrea Gail swordfishing boat is infinitely better told in this
book, which tells the stories of friends, families, and other people caught in the
storm as well as the Andrea Gail. Well researched, and you'll also learn more
about commercial swordfishing and wonder why anyone would do it.
