Summer reading is here...

"Nothing to Lose" by Lee Child. Latest Jack Reacher novel. Trashy spy novel genre, that Reacher is one tough SOB.

The other one just released is by a local (Minnesota) author named Leif Enger. It is his second novel, "So Brave, Young, and Handsome". His freshman work was "Peace Like a River". I recomend it highly. I first became familiar with Enger as a reporter for Minnesota Public Radio.

Latest Sanford novel was a real page turner too. "Phantom Prey" yet another Davenport novel.

I'm too tired to look up pictures online but I'm currently reading:

"House of Sand and Fog" and "Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Child Soldier"

Both very good!

Currently into reading

Been wanting to read this for a year, finally made the leap.

Very good so far
