Just finished Jeffery Deavers' "The Bodies Left Behind". A corker!

Here's a blurb about it:

"Who Has Seen The Wind" by W.O. Mitchell. If you like "Dandelion Wine" you may enjoy this.

The Scarlet Pimpernel..Taregt has had paperbacks in the dollar bin lately, just a few classic titles, and some nice condensed versions of great books for kids. I was tempted to buy the kid version of Moby Dick, as much as I love the book, it is a bit slow going reading the long descriptive parts about whaling.

As Ray said to John Huston back in '52: "I've never been able to finish the damned thing!"

fanboy, the secret to reading Moby Dick is to read alternate chapters. Odd numbers if you want a good yarn, even numbers if you want a comprehensive documentary study of whaling through the ages!

I have a pocket-sized hardcover of MD, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. Alas, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and the print is now too small to be comfortable. And I, too, have never been able to finish the damned thing!

The two new graphic novels arrived today, Wicked and Martian. The stack up well to the 451 graphic novel. The only odd thing I can report is that the quotes on the back of the dust jacket refer to 451 and not the books in hand.

Sounds like a copy&paste error in the layout department!

Just finished Joseph Conrad's "Victory".
Pretty good writing and interesting characters.
Sad, though.
