I don't usually post on the boards but I read some fantastic books this summer....THE POWER OF NOW & A NEW EARTH; AWAKENING TO YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE....both by ECKHART TOLLE. The author is absolutely brilliant...I couldn't put them down! They definitely made me aware of how our brains work and how our own thoughts affect our lives.. |

I usually don't go in for the longer novel, but Ken Follett has started a new Trilogy based on the 20th Century. The first book is Fall of Giants. This story commences just as WWI is heating up. Very well plotted and written |

Recently read and loved: Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier-a novel based on 2 real women fossil hunters in 19th century England. Wonderful writing, excellent characterization, fascinating natural history. The All of It by Jeannette Haien- a short , beautifully written, deceptively simple novel about an Irish priest hearing a surprising confession. |

Just recently retired and am reading like crazy, i love books, i'll read anything except romance and westerns. Stephen King's new 11-22-63 is great, typical King, lots of nostalgia for us baby boomers. Very intriguing. The Millenium Trilogy is awesome. Anything by Paul Austin, Laura Lippman, Dean Koontz, John Irving (A Prayer for Owen Meany) |

I thoroughly enjoyed it - especially the way he fleshes out the detail in historical events which most of us weren't aware of, in a way that engages us with the moment. It's a good read!

In Response to Re: A Great Read: Has anyone read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? Would love to discuss this series. Posted by dw9348 It sounds as though you are recommending it. I order books from the library online, so I will add it to my list.  |
