Pati, it's time for me to re-read Mall Purchase Night - love that book -
already read it twice! Thanks for the reminder. Haven't read the Wiz
series for awhile either. I really downsized my supply of books a few
months ago, keeping only the ones that I know I'll want to read again:
definitely kep Rick's books and all of Anne McCaffrey's.

Of course I would be sorely remiss if I didn't mention the books by

Rick Cook. (Yep, DH, I am definitely affiliated here. <G>) Especially
the Wiz series and Mall Purchase Night. (all science fantasy full of
puns.)

Can probably come up with lots more if needed. <VBG> (We have lots of
books, of all kinds around here. )
Pati, in Phx

Among my most favorite books - the Cork O'Connor suspense novels by William
Kent Krueger. Each book is a stand-alone story, but you will understand the
family relationships better if you read them in order. My son and I have
both re-read all of the books in this series two or three times. The ninth
book in the series has just been released.

Hi Sunny,
It's been a while for me, but I like the books by Allen Steele for the
following reasons:
* They're mystery/sci-fi.
* While reading them in the order in which he wrote them isn't
necessary, (they're not serial) I recommend that one does, because
they progress chronologically as humankind begins moving out into
space and colonizing the solar system.
* He's our age, so there's some relevance and he connects.
* They're a good fun read.
I would start with "Orbital Decay" then "Clarke County, Space", then
the rest, as I said, in order.
OTOH, I've always enjoyed the "classics"

I can't quilt without music. Sometimes I've got CD's playing,
sometimes
local radio. Sometimes the TV. But I have often thought about getting
one of those "audio books" and listen while I work. Do you ever
listen to those?
