Yesterday, Theresa remarked that she was surprised that I read Janet Evanovich. That has been rolling around in the back of my little mind ever since, and it got me to wondering what Cheffers read.
I'm a writer, so I tend to read a rather wide variety of genre which includes biography (Edsel: The Story of Henry Ford's Forgotten Son, FDR's Secret War, Walter P. Chrysler and Bogart) adolescent themes, history (and historical biography) and novels.
Yes, I read Doris' book and there are already about 13 threads about it up here in the various forums so that one has been pretty well discussed to death.
My most recent (besides the biographies listed above) book list:
The History of the Pennsylvania Railroad
The War in the Pacific
All by Gregory McGuire:
Wicked: The Life And Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Son of a Witch
Mirror, Mirror
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
The His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pulman:
The Golden Compass
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass
A movie version of The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman, is in post production right now.
And, of course, the entire series of Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. I've also read some of her other novels, including the rather silly but still sort of fun Plum Christmas book a few years ago, and the republication of Full House, one of Janet's first efforts. (I read that book cover to cover on a flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco, finishing the last page as the wheels touched the runway at SFO.) You can see the roots of Stephanie and Morelli's characters in Full House.
How about you, Cheffers? What are you reading?
Maybe we could form a Cheffers' Book Club, all read the same book and discuss it up here?
