At the moment I am reading "Maia" by Richard Adams. I have read it before
but when I saw it sitting on the $2 table at David's books, I couldn't
resist...It is such a great book!

Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. I bought it on Marlene's
recommendation that it was a good read. It was. It was also thoroughly bloody
and a little gross, but nonetheless a great read. Polisghed it off in 4 days.
The Green Mile by Stephen King- I could shoot him for writing such a good
book then breaking up into 6 parts, and releasing each part month by month.
The book deals with electricutons, and being on death row. Not exactly fun
stuf, but hey, this is Stephen King, Mr Horror. ;)
I am currently reading Firestarter, by you know who. good stuff from his
classic era. I recently bought God Knows by Joseph Heller, and I can't wait
to read it.

The other day I picked up _Piano Lessons_ by Noah Adams. Mr. Adams, as
some of you probably know, is the host of NPR's "All Things Considered".
The book chronicles his first year as an adult piano student. It talks
some about music, pianos, personal (more like intimate) challenges, and
learning about ourselves. And tucked into almost every page - something
of life's minutiae given eloquent attention.
I'm enjoying it a whole lot.

The last book I read was "City" by MacAulay. It is a story with black-and-
white illistrations about Roman planning and construction. The pictures
give a lot of info that the text doesn't. I would recomend it as a
first-class book.
C. S. Lewis's Narnia books are great! JSL or Kingjon.

Reading the second Dune book, just reread the first to procrastinate while
not doing a research paper, the sequels for an opinion paper.

I've located a book called Homicide:A year in the killing streets by David
Simon. This book is the basis of the TV show Homicide. It will be an
interesting read. $5.99 and you can order it.

Nightfall, by Mickey Zucker Reichert.
Pretty good, i like Reichert's Last of the Renshaii stuff better.
Does anyone know if Reichert is male or female?? The copyright on some of
Reichert's books say Miriam Reichert.

Finished _Homicide_ about 2 weeks ago, and frankly speaking, I was sorry
to see it end. Many of the episodes on TV are drawn from the book. Recently,
they depicted a case where a 7 year old was found on the side of the freeway.
She had been beaten several times with a belt buckle. Turns out that the
step-father was beating the girl, whose only "crime" was being clumsy.
and she frequently spilled things. The stepfather copped a plea, as did the
mother. What makes you angry is that this was actualy a true case. I could
cite some other ones that are just as nasty.
I am about to finish _Reccessional_ by James A. Michener. The book is about
a doctor hired to run The Palms, a retirement center not unlike Glacier Hills
here in Ann Arbor. The book deals with issues such as Assisted suicide, Aids,
Alzhiemers, and life in general. It is sometimes funny, sometimes very sad,
but expertly written by Mr. Michener. I highly recommend it.
