I have read 4 books since Friday.  I've got 2 ready to download at midnight central time.   

Why do new releases happen on Tuesdays??

It's Spring Break for me this week.  I can indulge in reading as much as I want.

Two romances will be mine in 72 minutes --- Navarro's Promise by Lora Leigh (I probably won't go to bed until I've read this one) and Sweet Possession by Maya Banks.  They're both part of series and I've read all the others.

4 books since Friday?  da#@, I couldn't read 4 Hardy Boys' mysteries that fast.   

"Fever Dream" by Preston/Child kept me up way past my bedtime last night.  This may be their best "Pendergast" novel yet.

A couple of other guys who are really good are Jonathon Kellerman (Alex Delaware series) and T. Jefferson Parker. Parker currently has an ongoing series that began with "LA Outlaws", then "Iron River" and the latest is "Border Lords". I think they are very good, kind of violent but good.

I read fast. 

New books wouldn't download at midnight, so I got up and downloaded them this morning.  Started one of them at 3 and finished it a few minutes ago.

Just noticed your gender symbol.  That explains why you're faster and smarter than I am.  Or, most men in general.

LOL

Reading fast is just practice.  I read something everyday.  I have all the books by my favorite authors on my iPhone, so I can read if I get stuck waiting somewhere.

I always have my nose in a book. Right now I am reading The Wolf At the Door by Jack Higgins. I started reading him with The Eagle Has Landed and have been hooked ever since. Most of what I know about the IRA came from reading Higgins and researching on my own. If you like historical fiction you have to read Bernard Cornwell. He is the master of historical fiction and he really puts you in the action. I also finished a book called On Wings With Eagles, an excellent account of the Battle of Britain, written by a British author who knew Churchhill personally. I plan on reading Bush's book as soon as I can get it away from my father.

I just finished another Stuart Woods book Mounting Fears  . I love Stuart Woods mysteries/thrillers. 

I am also struggling along with the fiction classic The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway.  I am trying to read 50 pages a day.  I'm glad it's only 200 pages. It was written in 1926 and the setting is Paris, France and some towns in Spain.  I have seen the film but never got around to reading much Hemingway.  I like the simple, direct writing and descriptions of Paris.  I knew Hemingway killed himself, but didn't know that he was bi-polar (manic-depression in those days).

I'll be looking for a Lee Childs book since some of y'all have recommended him.

I hate it that I said I was "struggling" with Hemingway.  Makes me sound illiterate. 

But it is hard to relate to a fiction book written 85 years ago. Even if the writing is excellent.  Next, I am going to work in The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham.

I'm proud of you!  I gave up those writers when I graduated from college!  Probably wouldn't kill me to read them again - but then I don't want to take any chances!

Thanks Kupkake... .  I'm trying to catch up with important fiction I SHOULD have read long ago.  

I was a social science major and have been mostly a non-fiction reader since then. I always thought that made-up stuff was a waste of time...just an escape....but I find that I learn new things from every fiction book I read because of the research that goes into the writing.

I am enjoying reading fiction very much now....and discovering new authors is so much fun.
