Not all non-fiction has extensive bibliographies, notes, and indices. These are necessary to readers who want to further their understanding of the subject. They also tend to be vetted by other authorities in the field. In other words, there are various levels of reliability and effort involved.

I'm reading DOG ON IT and enjoying it. What can I say. I'm a sucker for dogs.

Some people show off their degrees. It's an ego thing. Others are unimpressed by titles. Who cares if I have a BA?

[Joy Calderwood]

I stopped by for a chat with Kate Shugak. THE SINGING OF THE DEAD and A FINE AND BITTER SNOW. Word is Dana Stabenow finally found someone willing to film the series in Alaska, so she has sold the movie rights. How anything could equal the books I don't know, but I won't miss watching them.

Watched "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune," so now I'm reading the books it was made from.

Just finished the winner of the Inaugural Text Prize for Young Adult and Children's Writing (unpublished manuscript) - The Billionaire's Curse by Richard Newsome. Billed as Indiana Jones meets the Famous Five, it had a rather quaint, sort of good old fashioned kids story feel to it - reminded me very much of the sorts of books that got me hooked as a kid. Last night I started Stone's Fall by Iain Pears which is a thumping big 596 page doorstopper of a thing!

nearly finished Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell. It's very different from the usual crime fiction I've read in the past. It's actually pretty good. :)

[Suzanne]

Mankell is my favorite of the Swedish writers. Faceless Killers is the first of 10 or 11 in the series. Do read them in order of publication.

In a break from my usual reading diet of mysteries, I'm reading Craig Ferguson's autobiography. Love that man!

[Sarah E Glenn]

Reading The Juror by Parnell Hall. Very entertaining so far; Stanley sounds like someone I'd enjoy knowing.

Was pleased to get permission to use a photo of Al Capone's yacht Americana for my book "The Lollipop Murder."
Discovered one of the tracks in the mp3 file of "The Mystery Club Solves a Murder" was a duplicate and am now struggling to modify a backup file to replace the track. Software registration problem because original computger drive failed and we had to rebuild the system. And I thought I had retired!

[Paul Brazill]

Currently Ian Rankin's 'Fleshmarket Close' which is pretty good. Last read: Declan Hughes' 'The Wrong Kind Of Blood' which was great! Loved it.
