If you enjoy humor and Christian Satire "Lamb" by Christopher Moore is a great choice. I personally prefer his book "A dirty job" but this one is a close second.

One of the great potential benefits of groups like this is that we can tip one another off to the existence of authors that we would not otherwise have heard of. I'd like to nominate "The Last Blue Sea" by the Australian novelist David Forrest. It's ...

I just listened to a great psychological suspense Novel while driving from Seattle to Fargo. You by Caroline Kepnes. It kept me on the edge of my seat and made the trip go by very quickly.

This is not a book recommendation but rather a story of getting back to Jane Austin. Recently I picked up a novel "Undressing Mr. Darcy" I thought it might be a fun read and the name of the book peeked my interest. Well, the book was even worse ...

I just finished Borne by Jeff Vandermeer and now I am reading the first book in his Southern Reach Trilogy. I am not a big sci fi person, but I do enjoy a good post apocalyptic dystopian novel. Has anyone else read his work?

Just Finished "Flight Behavior" by Barbara Kingsolver. Small town meets the scientific community. I really enjoyed it. I'd put it as one of her more enjoyable books.
