Since last wek I have read 8 Louis L'Mour novels,
now reading a J.A. Jance book, "Fatal Error"...

One of the L'Amour books, "The Warriors Path", starts out in the Carolinas, gets up around Boston (known as Shawmut at the time of the story), on a ship to Jamaica, then to the Chesapeake Bay area. Then a trek overland back to the interior of the Carolinas again.

hahaha, more L'Amour books...

the last two I read were "To the Far Blue Mountains" and "Jubal Sackett"...

The first starts out in England around the 16-1700's and after many adventures, ends up in the Carolinas. Barnabas Sackett is the father of two of the sons written about in "Warriors Path". And Jubal Sackett is another of the sons of Barnabas.

As you can see, L'Amour doesn't just write westerns...

A very realistic author. I am sorry that he died as he had many, many more stories to write...

Now going to start another one of his called "Last of the Breed" about a military pilot that goes down in Siberian Russia...

__________________

Finished "Last of the Breed", wish ther had been a sequel... sigh.

Finished "Run the River", also by L'Amour... Abt a 16YO mountain girl who makes a trip down to the Settlements (Philadelphia) from her home up in the Tennessee mountains to receive a sum of money from an inheritence and her adventures in making her way home. Her name is Echo Sackett...

hmmmm, let me see.. Oh, yeah, two more Louis L'Amour's.. lol

"Where the Long Grass Grows" and "Flint"

I did read a SciFi by A.E. van Vogt titled "Renaissance". Not one of his better ones, but ok...

also "Slay Ride" by Dick Francis, a noted British author who writes great novels dealing with the horse racing in England and elsewhere... I rate him about with L'Amour...

Why so much stress?

Love, night and rain - life is good
So try to luck and kill the pain
Tell me, do you always think you have no worth?
Find it in yourself!

Shame by Salman Rushdie. And it's excellent so far.

I recently finished Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres and that was completely fantastic. One of the best books I've ever read.

Just finished The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman. Pretty enjoyable, good adventure. I'll need to hunt down the sequel now...

almost finished with vol 8 (the last) of the Charlie Bone series by Jenny Nimmo.

It is written for kids and is like a lower age level Harry Potter dealing with magic and sorcery and para-psych happenings. There are deaths, and maimings, etc, but like I said, more on a grade school level. Yeah, I know, WHY am I reading them? Because my grandson recommended them to me and I wanted to see what sort of stuff he was reading.

BTW, he is 10...

I'm reading "Eldest", by Christopher Paolini.
Just finished "Eragon" and I'm really hoping the second book will be as good, but I've heard by some that it's not... T_T

hahaha, one thing that I've learned over the years is that you have to make your own decision about books or movies. Many different things appeal to different people and this is no different.. (WOW, the word 'different' 3 times in one sentence, lol)

I can't count how many times I was told that I would enjoy 'this' book or not like 'that' movie and many times my reaction to the 'item' was just the opposite. I will read a book ( I read a LOT!) and if I like it, might even go looking for more by that author. The same goes for movies, I have seen literally hundreds of movies ever since I started going to the drive-in movies as a child and have read even longer, starting with comic books, lol...

All you can do, Jelly, is check it out, try reading it and if it isn't your cup of tea, then so be it. You go and try another. hahaha, my 10-yr old grandson recommended a book to me and, yes, it was geared to the mind of a child, but I still read the entire 8-vol series. It was kinda like a childish Harry Potter.

At any rate, check out the book first. It may be that you won't like it, but maybe you will. Make the decision by yourself, for yourself...

(damn, sound like a parent)
