The last 20

books:
Camilo Jose Cela
The Hive - Very confusing multiple characters that finally coalesce.
John Dunning
The Bookwoman's Last Fling - Combines bibliography and horse racing in a fine tale.
Peter Robinson
A Necessary End - A very good story - I'll definitely read more.
Bernard Cornwell
Enemy Of God - The Second book of the Warlord CHronicles. Not as gripping as the first but great characterization.
Steven Galloway
The Cellist Of Sarajevo - wonderful little book full of great pain and heroism.
William Sarabande
Time beyond Beginning - A nice simple book about prehistoric Eastern North America. I'd rather read Auel or Harrison.
J.M. Coetzee
Youth - 2003 Nobel Prize - A short novel about growth and maturity.
Elfried Jelinek
The Piano Teacher - 2004 Nobel Prize - A disturbing novel with a disconcerting voice but very powerful.
Micheline Aharonian Marcom
Draining The Sea - An intense paen to pain and suffering.
Ian Rankin
Beggars Banquet - Absolutely fabulous short, short stories. Entire crimes committed and solved in mere pages.
Ian Rankin
A Question of Blood - Rebus - My first read but definitely not my last. A welcome addition to my library.
A. Mary Murphy
Shattered Fanatics - The most erotic and powerful poetry I've every read.
W. D. ValgardsonIn The Gutting Shed - Early poems with some very nice rhythms
Michael Dibdin
End Games - A Zen mystery - who's cheating who and in the end what was the purpose of the whole thing anyway - very interesting.
James Lee Burke
Pegasus Descending - A marvelously erudite writer with a huge vocabulary and a way of describing his violent protagonist that makes him imminently likable.
Brenda Vantrease
The Illuminator - 1379 & John Wycliffe - a good look at the culture and the first "power to the people" movement.
Allen Kurtzweil
The Grand Complicator - A librarian searches for his and his benefactor's truths - but are they the same?
Edna Buchanan
Cold Case Squad - A new writer for me and a good addition to my collection. A multi-layered plot with heart and excitement.
Robert B. Parker
Spare Change - Sunny Randall and her dad look for the Spare Change Killer. Many characters that are very real and a flowing story line
NIck Bantock
Windsong - Another fairy tale - of the winds come to earth - haunting.
