Hi Tammy,


Re Larry McMurtrey


Is "The Loop Group" a western?

Over the weekend, I finished The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant, which was pretty good. Now I'm reading The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas about a group of woman in rural Kansas during the depression who have quilting group. So far, it's absolutely wonderful!

I just finished "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz which i loved - it was "oddly" touching.

Now I've started "The Last Crossing" - something completely different - about a couple of british brothers in the mid to late 1890's whose father has sent them to America to track down their missing brother who was last seen among Indians on the prairie, and to bring him home. Its already full of wonderful colorful characters.

Fiction-wise, I'm in the midst of roving between books. Finished re-reading the Alex McKnight mystery series by Steve Hamilton and currently reading the Janet Evanovich/Charlotte Hughes 'Full' series - 'Full House', 'Full Tilt', 'Full Speed', 'Full Blast' and now reading 'Full Bloom'. It's light reading to enjoy at night. Still need to finish Wallace Stroby's 'The Heartbreak Lounge'. The non-fiction book I've started is titled 'Mystery of the Nile: The Epic Story of the First Descent of the World's Deadliest River' by Richard Bangs and Pasquale Scaturro. Couple months ago I listened to an NPR radio interview with Richard Bangs about his travels from one end of the Nile River to the other. It sounded so fascinating and exciting I had to read it. My Dad got to it first and said it was amazing what Bangs and his photographer, Scaturro, went through. There is an IMAX movie about their journey and it played at the Ft. Worth Musuem of Science and History. Trouble is it's one of those screens where the audience feels like they are a part of what's going on and I get dizzy/nauseated when watching. At least there's something to read and look forward to finishing it.

I'm reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I'm not very far into in but so far it is good. It is about a boy who a discovers a book loves it and tries to find more by the same author only to discover that the author's books are disappearing.
