Hi all. Lately, all I've wanted to read is Anne Rice. From the Vampire Chronicles to the Mayfair Witches--it's all fun! (That's a lie: I love JK Rawling too!) --Brett!

Thanks Valerie; I've read all of Pat Cornwell's and you're right, the later ones are a bit over the top for me. I've also worked my way through the A-Z series....but I can't remember the author's name at the moment. They are all good. I'll have to start on Michael Crichton next. Not sure if I've read any of his yet. I read White Oleander already. I try to NEVER watch a movie based on a book I've read...I'm always disappointed in them. I've read SO many authors I couldn't name them all. All different styles. I've read all John Grishums (sp), Augusten Burroughs, David Sederis, Tami Hoag, Jean Aeul (sp), Catherine Coulter, Nora Roberts, etc. I used to read Stephen King and Danielle Steel, but then I got out of junior high (sorry, can't help it...they are too pattern predictable). I'll write down some of your suggestions for my next library run...I usually pick up 4-8 books at a clip. Thanks!

The Blessing Stone by Barbara Wood is highly recommended. It is inspiring, it follows a mystical blue stone as it passes into the hands of many people over thousands of years of history. It has romance, mystery, spirituality, adventure, history, and anthropology, something for everyone!

you should read angels and demons before the davinci code..it takes place first-same lead guy. both are REALLY excellent...especially if you are as skeptical about organized religion as I am!!

Hi Theresa! I am doing wonderful and haven't had much pain at all, really. I also feel that my "easy" surgery experience was due to the Lord's will and an answer to the many prayers that were said on my behalf. God is Good!!! Hugs, Tammy
