I just finished Graham Obree's book, The Flying Sctosman and a history of suergery. Currently reading a spy thriller.

Obree's book is a good light read and gives insight to the demons that he fought due to his pshcyological instabilities.

The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery.

I'm really struggling to reconcile the author's view of how much damage my relatively frugal lifestyle does to the planet.

All winter I had time to read
Mom lives with us and has a lot of mystery books and subscribed to more. I read too many Patterson's, Tannenbaum's, etc etc etc etc. These books make Dirty Harry movies look tame.

These books combined with the "Blind Swordsman" movies on Saturday morning have dampened any taste for anything more than Harry Potter for which I am signed up to receive when it comes out.

Anything by Michael Crichton. Anyone read his newer book "Next"??
If you've never read his book "Travels", I highly recommend it.

My wife and I both like to read MC books. Though, we both feel the same in that the endings for a number of his works seem a little weak. Kind of like he does a great amount of research for his novels, does a great job of constructing the beginning and the body, then suddenly realizes: "Oh yeah, I better end this".
