The People of Sparks
I’m not really remembering these books at all. I’ll have to count this as a new read. It’s a good read. I wonder what the author’s agenda is in writing these books.
City of Ember
I enjoyed this book. It’s not the first time I’ve read it. I’m going to go through this series even though I don’t quite like the later books when I think the story goes off the rails.
Joyland
Kind of a slow book. Different from the other Stephen King books I’ve read.
The Great Brain
I enjoyed the Great Brain books when I was a boy. It’s still fun all these years later. I’m wondering about some parallels to Tom Sawyer. The secondary hero’s name is Tom, the teacher’s name is Thatcher, and part of the book kids are lost in a cave. Hmm.
The Skyliners
Another Sackett book. I enjoyed the story and it was a fun read.
The Alchemist
I really enjoy this book. I have read it several times. It’s a pretty short book, so it’s easy to get through. I hear they’re even making a movie based on the book. We’ll see how that goes
Sackett
Psycho
A fun read for Halloween time. It would have been better if I first didn’t know that Norman’s mother was dead. I don’t know how this compares to the movie since I haven’t seen it in 30 years.
From the Listening Hills
Continuing my reading of Louis L’Amour. More of his short stories
The Road Home
It was a ho hum finish to the series. There was no conflict to keep you wanting to read. It was almost predictable and everything fit together in the end as you would expect them to. Not terribly satisfying when you know how it’s going to happen.
Forgotten Road
I almost quit this book because it is largely a travel log and history of places on Route 66. I was looking for a story, not a boring travel log. The only reason I continued was because the book got good reviews on Amazon. Also, because I’m feeling a bit invested in reading since it’s #2 in the series and it’s fairly short.
The Broken Road
This was the first Richard Paul Evans book I’ve ever read. I was pleasantly surprised when what I thought would be an over-the-top LDS based book turned out to be not so. I just discovered that the book is the first in a trilogy and I think I might just read the others as well.
