I read a lot...
So I might be frequenting here quite a bit. Just finished: 50 Ways to a Healthy Heart by Christiaan Barnard. Not a bad book on health. Also: Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. For those of you that are familiar with many of the hoaky Bond movies out there the books are the real thing.
On the Church side of reading I'm reading the Book of Mormon and listening to CDs of Spencer W. Kimball. O43

My ex husband is a fan of James Bond films and books. I read Live And Let Die, and really enjoyed it, I'm not too keen on the Bond movies however, just the other week Diamonds Are Forever was shown on UK TV and I saw the final scene..I couldn't believe how hammy it was!! I was around 7 the 1st time I watched that, and probably took it really seriously at the time, lol

Anyone here like mysteries??
I am a huge fan of Agatha Christie, and have read nearly everything she wrote (love both Poirot and Marple, but Poirot is my favorite), M.C. Beaton (Hamish McBeth series), Dianne Mott Davidson (Goldy Schulz series), Nancy Pickard (Jenny Cain series) and Caloyn Hart (Death on Demand series)... As well as others... Silver Girl

Over- I respect anyone who can call Ayn Rand a favorite author. Her works are not easy reads, I had to literally kick myself for two months to finish Atlas Shrugged. Lol.

Levi Peterson is my favorite author in the LDS genre. His fiction is not two-toned stories of easy faith; rather, it is grittier, evocative, poignant, yet softer, exquisite and more crucial than any other LDS fiction I've read. In my opinion, Levi Petersen is the best Mormon author there is, and I am not saying that just because he was my English professor once upon a time.
Reviews -- Aspen Marooney Below I've listed his books, with The Backslider, my favorite, listed first. I will say, as I told him, that I was not satisfied with Backslider's ending. If anyone reads it, I'd be interested in your thoughts. The Backslider Aspen Marooney Canyons of Grace Night Soil Elphaba

Elder Talmage wrote "Jesus the Christ" in the early 20th Century. It is a classic. Another excellent book on Jesus is, and although not of the LDS faith, Benedict XVI's "Jesus of Nazareth". It isn't an easy read, but informative. I love Tolkein, and Lamour myself. The Last of the Breed and The Haunted Mesa are my two favorite Lamour novels. O43
