In Response to Re: A Great Read: First of all I think a great read is one that holds your attention all the through to the end. I love to read any and all mysterys. Not the Stephen King types but the ones where they solve the mystery. I like to try to solve it along with the the character or characters. Posted by kelleyg This is my first time here. I have read " The Cat Who ..." a series by Lilian Jackson Braun. They are fun mystery/detective stories.

Just finished Year of Wonders: A novel of the Plague by Geraldine Brooks. It was so well written and interesting about the plague in the 1600's. Another writer I love is Lisa See. I think her best book is Dreams of Joy, but she has wrriten many great historical fiction novels about China.

In Response to Re: A Great Read: I recently read two very good books. Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese and Edward Sawtelle by David Wroblewski Posted by abby1234 Yes, Cutting for Stone was so well written. I loved it. Am having a little difficulty getting into Edward Sawtelle. I'll keep at it. Thanks

In Response to Re: A Great Read: I enjoy reading legal thrillers. Anything about the law, lawyers, PI is a nice read to me! I love books by Phillip Margoolin Y Andrea Kane. These are great authors. Posted by GRenShea Take a look at my post here dated August 16, 2011. I'm a diehard fan of Wilkie Collins, a novelist who wrote in Victorian England roughly from 1850-1870. You may find his style very different from today's authors, but he is a marvelous story teller, still in print. You said "anything about the law" and that's a favorite subject for Collins, too. Woman In White, probably his best novel, digs into laws about wills and marriage, spiced up with a captivating story line and of course, characters you'll love to hate. Dan |

 TAILS OF A SOCIAL WORKER is finally available online at Barnes & Noble Bookstores, Amazon Bookstores, or Trafford Publishers. It's in both Softcover, and ebook formats. The opening begins at Veterans Admnstration Medical Center in East Orange, New Jersey. It explores real experiences of situations of what Social Workers experienced at that time and it still exists in the world of work today.It took many years to have the Book transfomed from Manuscript to Printed Pages.Readers thus far of the Sumner High School 1958 Class of St. Louis, Misssouri,Colleagues, Neighours, and friends that have read the book commented by asking why I hadn't made more chapters or when will the continuation of TAILS OF A SOCIAL WORKER become available. I'm very happy and Blessed to accomplish this Goal of becming a Published Author. There are many Tales/Storytales to be told.Tails tell tales. |
