I liked "The Bachman Books". Steven King short stories a more in line with my attention span.

I was a huge Hardy Boys fan. Both the old series and the new series.

Has anyone read The Routes of Man?
NPR had a review of it and it sounds very interesting. I might pick it up in nook form. http://www.amazon.com/Routes-Man-Roa...6356335&sr=8-1 Also, for those with Kindles, is the $15 for Kindle normal? I thought all new releases were 10 and dropped from there.

I'm finally getting around to The Book Thief on the glowing recommendation of IJH.

Finished 'Mind Hunter' by John Douglas, who along with another FBI Agent Robert Ressler, basically invented whats known as 'criminal profiling' while investigating/tracking serial killers.
A page and stomach turner. |

Finished A Short History of Nearly Everything and loved it. Slow read but worthwhile.
Finished Lovely Bones which by comparison was a breeze. There are many aspects of the book I loved. The rules of the InBetween, Lindsay, the small little sequences spaced throughout that felt so real. Superb. Now, I can finally approach my nook. Probably going to start Under the Dome. Or, I might purchase the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo after hearing about it on NPR and having passed by it many, many a time.
