I'm reading Paris by Edward Rutherfurd. His books are always a great read.

I am half way through "The House at Salvation Creek" by Susan Duncan.

I Loved that book as I lived in the area aNd know the house well. You must read the follow up as well.

Gert

What is the name of the follow up one Gert or do you mean "Salvation Creek" as I have already read that.

Loved those books, know the area.

Yup you are right . You have read them both!

Dan Brown's Inferno. It is pretty good so far. Very similar to The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. A nice light page turner.  :)

Good to hear it is good. Loved the others. Think this will be my next purchase.

I have been wondering about Inferno. Thanks for the tick of approval Den.

Had a reading hiatus this past week but managed to finish The Storyteller. I was disappointed again by the ending. Sometimes I think that authors can write a riveting plot but at the end they get rushed and it ends rather on a flat note. The question I asked myself iall the way through was... "why would you ask a young person you barely knew to assist you with a plan for killing yourself, especially when you were 90+ years of age? This old man had integrated himself into society and had gained the community's respect so why when you are at the end of a very long life burden a young person with the rest of their life in front of them into assisted suicide? My sister has highly recommended "Americano", so will be starting this in the next day or so. She likes the books that I recommend, but will I like the books that she recommends ... TBA

CP, I reacted the same way to the Storyteller. I was disappointed with a previous book of hers and read this with hesitancy. She writes well but does not think through the plot.

I've finished 'The Preacher' by Camilla Lackberg and have downloaded 'the House of God' because Gert mentioned it in one of her posts and it has me intrigued, so will start that next.

Mind you I have not read it in many years . It may be a book only medical people will enjoy. I remember that it was hilarious, mostly true and irreverent.

I wasn't sure where to put this but if you are looking for some free books on your iPad then the iBook store has heaps for free at the moment. There may be one or two that appeal to you.
