I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Robin Cook
Downloaded eBook from my local library. Read it in 12th grade 10 years ago and have been wanting to read it since.

Needs to contact a mod about multiple accounts
Last week, I read Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Dean Koontz's Velocity. I'll probably read another Koontz book this week but I haven't decided which one yet.

It's been a while since I have posted:
Undaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West
***** of ***** stars
Great Book, I will read this again. Read the book and follow along with the following map:

Krakatoa : The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883
**** of *****
Great book, the first three chapters are pretty boring. (Pepper trade and evolution history of the islands affected by the eruption) But it really picks up on chapter 4.
Washington's Crossing (Pivotal Moments in American History)
***** of *****
3 great books in a row! I love David McCullough's 1776 but this is much better. I really goes in to detail about the elite British and Hessian troops, good read!

Just finished:
This was a glorious collection of stories. Bender's ability to fill her surreal little oddities with such honesty and genuine emotion is incredible; I was surprised on several occasions how moved I was. Along with Jonathan Lethem's recent books, this is some of the best short story work I've read.
Now reading:
A rather saucy (no pun intended) memoir with almost equal parts sumptuous food descriptions and rowdy sex romps. Bonus points for the recipes scattered throughout.
Not quite as good or endearing as Julie Powell's Julie & Julia at this point, but definitely enjoyable.
On deck: Kirsten Bakis' Lives of the Monster Dogs

To continue with the King theme, I am going to begin Salem's Lot. I need to stay out of the library though because I will never get through my "to read" pile...
