  1. Secondhand Soles by Christopher Moore - an extension of the story from "A Dirty Job" where the Death Merchants go about collecting souls.  Good fun.

  2. Double Agents by WEB Griffin - adventures of a young captain Canidy as he works the back doors of the WWII occupation of Sicily nd Italy.  Always enjoy Griffin's style.

  3. The Glorious Cause by Jeff Shaara - a novel of the American Revolution with fine details of several of the main participants, from George Washington to Cornwallis to Nathan Hale to Howe.  Wonderful the way he weaves the seperate stories together to present history at its best.

  4. Triggerfish Twist by Tim Dorsey - another story of crazy Florida featuring Serge and crew.  Very much in the vein of Carl Hiassen but not up to that standard.

  5. Under Occupation by Alan Furst - spy novel set in 1942 Paris, following crime writer Paul Ricard as he’s pulled into the French Resistance after a dying man slips him a technical drawing tied to German weaponry.

  6. Mission Critical by Mark Greaney - the first I've read in the Gray Man series. pretty good.

  7. Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown - I keep hoping that he'll come up with another DaVinci Code but this is not it.  Wound up skipping page after page just to get through it.  He's a bit like a magazine, ads running throughout every page........ ;and I'm sick of his Mickey Mouse watch.  I mean, what the hell?

  8. Absurdisstan by Gary Shteyngart - a satirical novel that captures the absurdity of post-Soviet life. The book explores themes of bureaucracy, corruption, and the struggle for identity in a bizarre world that has post-soviet russia looking a lot like the good old U S of A.

  9. York of the 30's.  Excellent development of her character over span of years and a surprisingly beautiful book on civility (as in Gentleman) from the perspective of a woman.. Really well done and I love the actual 'Rules" as per George Washington.
