searoses Posted April 6, 2015 #26 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Treven....I have not thought of the right choice for reacher....probably a little known character actor because he is so tall and heavily built...I love that each book sort of has a theme....like coffee or cold.....very clever writer who is actually british....good researcher ....I don't usually care for prolific crime series but this one is well written and intelligent...

HiCSailor Posted April 6, 2015 #28 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Well, if you want to get out of a rut, these might fit the bill: - While I'm not usually a fan of science fiction or fantasy, Paolo Bacigalupi's debut novel, The Windup Girl, was a surprisingly good read. - For some mindless laughs, I have been turning to Carl Hiaasen for some time and his novel, Skinny Dip, actually features a cruise ship among the action. He spins quite a tale, usually with a Florida and environmental spin, but always hilarious and unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted April 6, 2015 #30 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just finished "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. Very good book. I had a friend recommend it to me. I've backpacked parts of the Pacific Crest Trail back in my 20s and 30s, but never alone. I can't imagine doing it solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhsails Posted April 6, 2015 Author #31 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Again, my thanks to everyone. Really looking forward to picking up a few new reads.... Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missymckibben Posted April 6, 2015 #32 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Slidergirl, no one in heck I would do it alone. There were parts of the book I was nervous for her. I can't imagine how I would feel if it were me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteTraveler Posted April 6, 2015 #33 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I noticed some of you like watching movies about the places you are going. Roberto Rossellini's movie, "A Journey to Italy" (1954) has actual scenes of the excavation of Pompeii. It was pretty cool watching that movie and then visiting Pompeii.

I forgot I had that one, thanks for mentioning it. I'll pull it out a re-read it. We've been to the Caribbean several times since the last time I read it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
