the gory stuff.....psychological mysteries/thrillers? Really good authors too....Kellerman, Rendall, etc. Especially if there are children involved. For many years, I read & enjoyed this stuff, but I don't anymore. In fact I'm finding it repulsive. Just for me of course. What others read is fine with me. I'm also having trouble with the news & leave the room to avoid crying with some of the craziness in the world that's reported & shown on TV. That's why I haven't contributed much to the board lately. I've been reading really lite stuff mostly during this time until I get my bearings & decide what I want to focus on. Anyone else at this stage? (OK. I admit to being alot older that most of you....LOL. That's probably why I even mention it. I ask & I'm not bothered by what anyone thinks! Hint: I graduated high school 50 years ago)dee

I enjoy Ms. Riehm's show as well and try to listen when possible. Also enjoy listening to 'Fresh Air' which hosts Teri Gross. She interviews a variety of people, many who are writers, musicians, singers, etc. Think she's been on the air for 10 years or so. She had a book published a few months ago which features her favorite interviews. Haven't had a chance to read it yet. And I get such a hoot out of 'Prairie Home Companion' with Garrison Keiller. You not only get to hear singers/bands from all walks of music, but the skits are hilarious and can be thought-provoking. My favorite weekly skit is the one titled "Guy Noir, Private Eye." LOL! The 'cases' he has to solve are nothing like the mysteries I read. hee hee!

I haven't noticed that, although there are sometimes parts of stories I feel were... not so much too gory, but
