Just finished Book Of The Dead by Patricia Cornwell... it was really good, will be starting Scarpetta next!
Anyone else a fan? I've all of her Scarpetta books, and recently lost an ebay bid for an autographed copy of one of her hardbacks.. I was NOT happy

I'm reading a great book right now.....

In The Company Of The Courtesan by Sarah Dunant.

It's set in the early 16th century and begins with the Spanish and the Lutherans' invasion of Rome. It's an intense description, as told by the companion of Fiametta, the Courtesan, Bucino, who is a dwarf. I could almost smell the stench of the aftermath.

Elle magazine described it as "A rich surprise", and it is.

This autuor also wrote The Birth Of Venus, which I will also read when I'm finished with this one.

I am partial to the Joan Anderson books - A Year By The Sea, thoughts of an unfinished woman; A Walk on The Beach -tales of wisdom from an unconvential woman; The Second Journey - the road back to yourself.

And, the Trixie series by Dean Koontz. Have to love a man who writes as his dog. Quick reads - 30 minutes tops. Very entertaining and a bit enlightening too. I, Trixie, Who Is Dog and Trixie's Guide to a Happy Life.

The Ascent of Money - a financial history of the world by Niall Ferguson was quite enlightening as well.
