And does anyone know whether Lee Child's "Deep Down" is for Kindle only? Looks like it's only available as an ebook.

Hey, have any of you guys read Lee Child's "The Affair"?

I've never even heard of Michael Malone. So thanks for that recommendation, John. I'll add "Time's Witness" to my list. : )

Vicki, I think I have a Jonathan Kellerman book on my shelf at home. I got it ages ago, hoping that he'd be a good Lee Child fill-in. So I'm happy to ... More

Dawn, I've heard of craigslist--but do you mean check it out for copies of the Lee Child books? I don't need to do that when I have Alibris. : )

Yes, many thanks, Susan! I don't think I've ever heard of the Doc Ford series before.

David, I wonder whether you've read Annie Proulx, Cormac McCarthy, T.C. Boyle, or John Irving. These might be obvious choices, but if you haven't read ... More

Ashley, have you read any or Ruth Rendell's mysteries? Is she too obvious a choice? If not, I completely recommend her. She's very prolific, is amazing ... More

S K and Barbara, you remind me that I've given a couple Robert B Parker books to my father-in-law. Sounds like I should borrow them back! : )

Thanks to you too, Sascha. I am a little familiar with Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch. While he's not nearly Jack Reacher's stature, he's still entertaining ... More

Thanks a lot, Barbara and Cranky! I'll check out Daniel Silva's The Kill Artist ASAP. And then Stephen Hunter. Sounds like I have some exciting action ... More

I read and really liked Fahrenheit 451, but I'm not familiar with his other books. Now I'll try to get to reading The Martian Chronicles, however. I'm ... More

Oh, wow! I'd love to have all my old Golden Books too. : )

I am an amateur book collector, and I always avoid book club editions. I strive to select only first printings of actual first editions--which means no ... More

Carol, thanks so much for sharing your memories of Maurice Sendak. How amazing it is that you actually met him AND that you're also an author--especially ... More

That's a really good point, Jeanie. I know I want to ready many more books of his to soak up even more of his genius.

Can you believe I didn't read this book--or know about it--until I was an adult? I'm not sure how that happened, as the book is about as old as I am. ... More

Ha! That's a great story, Steve. And I bet you're right!

Cranky, have you read "Bumble-Ardy" to your kids? It's his latest book, I think, and sounds really good.

I agree, Ruth. "Where the Wild Things Are" will be around forever. It's timeless!

I join your rumpus, Andrew! : )

Hey Andrew,

Just curious, did you discover any books that you kept as fond keepsakes? It's awesome that you donated your Mom's books to your library ... More

Lillie, I'm guilty of never having read The Bridge on the River Kawi or the Lord of the Rings books. But those movies were outstanding. It does make ... More

Thanks a lot, Theresa! I also enjoyed the Harry Potter books more than their corresponding movies--though I think those adaptations were really, really ... More

I recently completed my collection of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series. I didn't read these books for young readers as a young reader, but ... More
