**** I almost picked that up when I first saw it... I'm Not a super big King fan but I have read some of his work..... I liked his short story collections most of all... I do recall enjoying Firestarter and Cujo way back though..*

***it's a great mix of fact & fiction brilliantly woven into a story that's hard to put down

** I'll put that on the list..

**Lately I've been reading a lot of hard-boiled detective fiction... A number of the Mickey Spillane books such as I, The Jury and One Lonely Night......And quite a few featuring private eyes Mike Shayne and Shell Scott...

**Very entertaining stuff...

*if you like mystery Henning Mankell and his Kurt Wallander detective books are really well written or another one I really like is Fred Vargas and her detective Adamsberg books the first book in her Adamsberg series is 'Have Mercy on Us All' although you can read them in any order. again both authors are great writers with riveting stories.
The only Wallander books I haven't read yet are The Dogs Of Riga, Firewall, and the book of short stories featuring Wallander's early cases... Mankell kicks butt and takes names..
Not familiar with Vargas...I'll be on the lookout for his stuff. Thanks for the tip..Followup Messages:
