I finished Day of the Jackal, and it got better as it went on.

Now reading Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. Liking it so far.

Not to put any pressure on you, but I've gotten several fan emails ( for fan mail!) complaining that BitH kept people up till the wee hours on a work night.

I don't apologize for that.

Just finished I Am Charlotte Simmons the other day. Another great one written by Wolfe, though a little longer than I would have liked.

I'm now 50 pages into A Fraction Of The Whole by Steve Toltz. Very funny so far.

Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinor Pruitt Stewart.

It's free on Kindle and it's a compilation of letters written by a young widow about her life in Wyoming, homesteading a portion of land with her two-year-old. Without being flowery she paints a wonderful picture of the land and life, and also shows an amazing independence for a woman in the early 1900s.

For me, Outlaws by George V. Higgins and The Given Day be Dennis Lehane. We'll see if I can handle two novels at once.

I'm SO late to the party, but I got beautiful copies of the entire James Bond series for a song. I decided to get through them this year, and am currently reading Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. It's much better than I was expecting.

The Tommyknockers- Stephen King.

I only have a little over a hundred pages to go. Next on the list will be either It by Stephen King, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King, or Psycho by Robert Bloch.
