Just finished James Patterson’s ‘2nd To Die’ and now I’m in the middle of Grisham’s ‘The Summons’ which is his usual lawyer type book.

I found that it was the perfect “next book” after **Demon Haunted World**.

I just finished tormenting myself with Charles Dickens’ “ **Bleak House** ”. Me and Charlie have a love/hate relationship and this wasn’t one of the more enjoyable experiences.

Also just finished Ralph Helfer’s “ **Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived** ”. True story my ass. Memo to Ralph: don’t keep referring to an elephant’s wondrous tusks when the pictures show a tuskless elephant.

Presently I’m reading Bill Bryson’s **Made In America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States**". He’s an absolutely wonderful author. I highly recommend “ **A Walk in the Woods** ” about his misadventures on the Appalacian Trail.

Threads like this are evil. My book wish list is a book in itself. Thanks to you all, I have just added a few more. ARG!
