The Eye of Heaven by Clive Cussler.  Must be about the 30th book written by him that I have read.

Just finished Inside the Jihad. Its fascinating. And for many it can be an eye-opener.

Something about something by someone important.

Same Vampire compliation, before putting it away again I read

The Mysterious Stranger (1860)
Anonymous

For The Blood Is The Life (1911)
F. Marion Crawford

The Werewolf And The Vampire (1975)
R. Chetwynd-Hayes

The last one is funny as well but the humor fits the story. It's set in England where a dim-witted young man gets bitten by a werewolf and doesn't know it until he finds out from a family of vampires. He marries the daughter and they're persecuted by an overeager turd named Reverend John Cole whose congregation thinks he's out of his head when he starts preaching about werewolves and vampires from the palpit :P
They have a werevamp baby before the story ends with a confrontation with the Reverend and the only person who believes him, a twelve year old boy!

I am finally reading the Fire and Ice series by George R. R. Martin. Game of Thrones for those not into it.

I find his style to be very gritty, realistic, and depressing. So real in the cross-purposes that otherwise possible allies find themselves in. It reminds me of Glen Cooks Black Company series.

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.

I liked some older authors but the one I am into now is Lee Childs  I have other favs in other areas but he is the male titing the windmills of life that isn't always fair so many authors I love who bring me from my silly life intotheir fantasies  i guess like you do I was a child in southern New Mexico with no mama or daddy and read books to escape into somewhere that was yes an escape and maybe that's what I do now   I am going to try to do that too try to create a story that will take you away from there to where it may lead us and we will not feel alone for a moment or two   Scotty  maybe silly hmm

re-reading The Great Railway Bazaar - by train across Asia by Paul Theroux. Still worth reading despite his right wing nonsense.

I'm a few pages from finishing Stephen King's Pet Sematary again. Pet Sematary and The Dead Zone were the very first books I bought by Stephen King.
For a long time all I bought were his books in paperback. When you look at them you can tell how old they are! :P
I've read Pet Sematary seven times, The Dead Zone four. I've read Needful Things three times and all the others only once or twice.
I had always read Stephen King for the "entertainment value", or the "shock value". I had never did any serious thinking as I read one of his novels. But i'm finding that i've without realizing it "matured". :P If that's even the right word. Now when i'm reading one of his stories i've read before I find myself getting upset, wondering why he had to do this or that. Or i'll stop reading to think, Well, what if this character had done this instead? It's weird that after reading a story so many times now I start questioning things the way i've been doing...

Kind of along the same lines, I finished Dreamcatcher not too long ago by King. I enjoyed the beginning and middle with all the merging storylines, but the ending felt rushed. Extremely rushed, as if he has to meet a deadline. Just curious if you'd read it and felt the same.

I read Dreamcatcher once. I have it in hardcover. The only thing that bothered me was the number of main characters who had to die.

Reading a book titled "Frostfire" by Hocking.
It's part one of a trilogy of books (the other two are not out yet).
Also finishing up on the "DUNE" series (not just reading them, but collecting the books as well).

I thought it was nonsensical to the story. I get the whole "there can be only one" idea, but when you've read it so many times over, I would expect more from Stephen King. -shrugs-

LOL..GG.
I have a "small" library of books (somewhere around 1500 of them).
That covers Science, History, Classics, Military History, Science Fiction, University Text Books (Yeah, I kept them). Lots of General Reading Books and some (I'll admit) comic books as well (hardbound and paper comics as well) (Calvin and Hobbs are my favorite).
 :D

I have several bookcases full, books behind books, books stacked on books. Books in boxes, I have to have at least as many as you, Liz.
