Thanks for sharing. I'm placing Hiassen on the list. Lately I hunger for
books that make me laugh.

safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, screaming WOOHOO!!! What a
ride!!!"(borrowed from another signature)

This was a really good reading month with 4 5-star books, all of which I
definitely recommend. I enjoyed the John Grogan so much I e-mailed him to
tell him so. The Wally Lamb was just great. The books about John Lennon
and the Roosevelts were also excellent. I also had plenty of other good
reads. I forgot how funny Hiaasen is. I lost track of him over the years
and am rereading everything. I live in Florida, so it really hits home,
especially since I used to live in a big bass-fishing town. It was my first
shot at Andrew Vachss, and while I enjoyed it, I found his protagonist to be
really weird, which is why I rated it down a little. The only real stinker
this month was the Anne Rice book about Jesus. I can't remember the last
time I rated a book so low. I totally hated it. It was really boring. I
read her first book in this series and it, while not a favorite, was nowhere
near as bad. I'm not sure if I'll bother with the next one or not. Anyhow,
that's my month in review. Happy reading.
