Afraid I already read that one.  (Maybe our tastes are too much alike for this?  ) Feel free to either pick out another one, or just tell me to read Dawkins' book as something I would not have bought on my own. Note to my future self: Do not match up Nog and the geko ....  Now I'm even more curious what he comes up next for you ... I haven't read Mercury Falls and now it's on my TBR list .... |

I didn't join in on the game, but I must say this looks like fun. I am looking forward to everyone posts about the books that were selected for them.

I thought it was a bit inconsistent: parts of it were quite good, but few parts dragged it down from being a strong recommendation for me. I much preferred Good Omens for something along that line, but of course Terry Pratchett was responsible for half of it, or perhaps Only Begotten Daughter by James Morrow for something darker. |

Cora....price is reasonable......but I hate fantasy..........perhaps a different genre? I forgot to add that into deal breakers.........I just know i'd never get through this book. Oh, phooey! Hmm. How about dystopian?  http://www.amazon.com/Handmaids-Tale-Novel-ebook/dp/B000SEI32U/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2 Use this link, the other one is to a weird listing. It's only $3.95 . Also a good book, I've read this one twice. |

As much time as I spend on here, I'm not sure how I missed this thread... it looks like fun! I'll look for it next month and it will be fun to see what everyone thinks of their books! |

I'll be interested to hear what you think! And I'm sorry about the previous suggestion. With your Disney avatar, I assumed fantasy was something that you'd like. |

Have you read Oryx and Crake? I have a sample of it waiting on my Kindle, but I was hoping to get a familiar opinion on it. Not to go off on a tangent, but I am just curious since it's another of Atwood's dystopian novels. |

So what's our excuse?
LOL! Something about KB-addicted minds, I'm sure... |

(Maybe our tastes are too much alike for this? ) Feel free to either pick out another one, or just tell me to read Dawkins' book as something I would not have bought on my own. All right, I'll make one more go of it, and then fall back to Dawkins. Try Riptide by Preston/Child:   An unusual treasure-hunt book in that all the fantastic elements have perfectly sound explanations. Overall just a fun book, nothing terribly serious. |

For Lynn:
One for the Money, by Janet Evanovich ($ 6.39 on Kindle)
Something outside the fantasy/SF field... If you've read it, please let me know, and I'll pick another.
Haven't read it, have looked at hers before and thought I might try it Lynn |
