| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

| 2007-02-12 | 0670037869 | Dust | Grimes, Martha | | | | I've read all of Martha Grimes' Richard Jury mysteries, usually about as soon as they come out, having been a big fan since the first one, The Man With a Load of Mischief, from back when I was still in high school. I enjoyed Dust too, which features all the old familiar characters and a plot that keeps one's interest, but I was flummoxed by the book's ending, even after a few re-readings. Looking at customer comments about Dust on Amazon.com, I see that I'm not alone. Unlike some other authors of popular mystery series, Martha Grimes hasn't gone senile, I don't think, but she definitely keeps moving away from the "cozy murder mystery" genre. | |
