Strange, but interesting enough to keep me going. Stephen King is a hit or miss for me, some of his books absolutely rivet me, others I can't get into and give up on.

I haven't started the other one. Can't even remember the name.

If anyone else knows of some authors that write John Grisham type books, please let me know. I get bored waiting on him to come out with new ones, but I can usually finish those type books in a couple days.

If you like Grisham try:
• William J. Coughlin
• Jeff Deaver
• Stephen Greenleaf
• Clifford Irving
• John T.Lescroart
• Paul Levine
• Steve Martini
• Barbara Parker
• Brad Meltzer
• Nancy Taylor Rosenberg
• Lawrence Sanders
• Robert K.Tanenbaum
• Scott Turow

I've been trying to remember Scott Turow's name all day.

Anybody heard of that book called The Last Lecture? I just bought that for a friend of mine on amazon. I'm afraid to read it, it seems pretty sad.

Poop. It's called the Last Lecture. It's by Randy Pausch, who is terminally ill.

Doesn't sound too sad... seems like a book that will do more to inspire. Sounds interesting... I'll have to read it myself. I'll throw it on my Double day book club account :-)

Well no doubt it should be inspiring. To my knowledge, he just talks about fulfilling his life before he dies and to not take for granted what he has. Here is his speech on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

I do not know how to read, but thanks to Elmo and Laura Bush I have become inspired to learn.

I bought a few books today through my book club....

THE KILLING GROUND by Jack Higgins
A TREASURY OF GREAT AMERICAN SCANDALS by Michael Farquhar
CHILDREN OF THE FLAMES by Lucette Matalon Lagnado and Sheila Cohn Dekel
SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet
THE DARKEST EVENING OF THE YEAR by Dean Koontz
THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly

I'm a huge Koontz fan and the Darkest Evening is a waste. Far from one of his better books. I was pretty disappointed.

I can't wait to read The Book of Lost things.... from the reviews I read on it, it sounds like it might be a winner.

I am re-reading that series as well. Just started the Great Hunt. Hopefully by the time I finish the series Sanderson will be close to finished with the last book.

In belated answer to the question, I finally just broke down and bought a copy new (always painful with hardcover WoT books.... ) Probably I should've quit while I was ahead; I'm having some serious second thoughts about the last batch of Fred Saberhagen books I snagged, 'cos the last one was just... gratuitously WRONG....
