Kozzie,
Liked "The Firm", and "The Chamber"...
well, liked isnt quite the right word for the Chamber, but the book does make you think....
wi***he younger generation would read more for enjoyment, but I guess this medium is more fun...

Walt, is Stephen Coonts a Sci Fi writer? I've heard of the name but nto read any of his stuff.

I honestly think John Grisham's books have gone downhill a little compared to his early ones. The Pelican Brief I reckon was a very interesting yarn [:)]. Later ones like The Runaway Jury were a bit thin. Oh well..plenty of variety I guess...

Kozzie, Stephen Coonts is a fiction writer, and former naval aviator. His books always
has a military theme to them. I sure enjoy most of his books. [:)]

I should have added in my last,the parking lots belong to the church
across the street. Plus with a lot of elderly people in our neighborhood,
we really don't have a lot of noise. Now on the street with those stupid loud stereos
That's another story. I swear,if they ever run out of gas;so long as the battery
works,they can make it to the gas station by turning up (like it isn't high enough)
the volume and bounce their vehicle to the nearest station.[:)]

move next to us - we go to bed at 8:30 and are very quiet. And it is a duplex, so no other noisy neighbors. Won't even need a garden hose for us! [8D]

I know what you mean,however CW and I are lucky,as we have parking lots on either side of us. Doesn't mean that we don't get noise from time to time,but we don't get that much. Coffee,come on by,there's always a pot on.[:)]

Ken Follett is a good read, too. His Key to Rebecca is one of my favorites!

CW - I like all his books - he's an easy read and always interesting.

And Sue Grafton (Alphabet Murders) is another favorite!

It's a little cool here this morning. So for breakfast, think'll make make up a big
batch of biscuits, make some gravy, and fry some sausage (patties and links).

Sounds kind of good to me. [angel]

Mookie, that John Grisham book sounds interesting. Will have to find that one.

Morning: turned on a light this morning - should turn it back off - it is a disaster in here!

Well - two thoughts for today -

Meatloaf - try making it with stovetop instead of bread or bread crumbs or oatmeal or whatever you use. It is already seasoned and just the right amount of bread. Yummy.

Books: I just finished John Grisham's King of Torts. Great book. Talks about what we all know is out there, but just hate to think about - mass tort lawyers. (You know - Fen-Fen diet pills and hundreds of people filing under one lawsuit) Quite an eye-opening book! Makes me want to send the driver to Law School! I could then get Millie a sister or brother and fly them both trackside so they wouldn't have to drive! This may sound ridiculous, but so are the tort lawyers in this book - and believe me, I am pretty sure they are out there in the real world...

Maybe our resident lawyer will read this........and reply.....?

Kozzie,

I love all books,Sci-Fi,Who-dunnits,etc;but those seem to be some of
the best.

As a matter of fact,other than giving books away,somebody help ,or
give me some suggestions,to where I don't have to build more
book shelves[:)]

Walt! Just finished it - quite a good read. They're all good as Paula says, but some seem to have had a little more effort put into them.

As Mookie said, I like the way the story gows with more and more characters as the boooks come out. A refreshing change from the grim and dark books that are published.

When we got our computer,my sis told us about the optical mouse,
so we got one of the optical ones,and put the one that came with the
computer in the printer cabinet,for back up. We love it,and you don't
actually have to have a meese pad if you don't want.[:)]

Not ready for wireless though.[:(]
