The Harry Dresden books seem good. My client is listening to them on "tape", and they seem pretty interesting.
Such entertaining and fun reads.

Do it Bert. I recommend about one of every seven books I read, though I do recommend The Lost City of Z as well so this last bunch it's two of seven...
I came across the book at Costco and, after reading the flap, was reminded of The Stand. This was why I bought it. It may be better. I almost wish I'd waited to read it just so the release of the second book would be closer. Now I have to wait at least a year.
That's how I felt with The Dresden Files. I read all of them in a few months (school can be a huge free time vaccum. ) and now I got to wait until around October for the newest in the series.
So other than the previous mentioned books, what do you consider your favorite books?
Reading the U.S. Army's counter insurgency manual currently.

I'm on the last hundred pages of The World According to Garp, by John Irving.
The Dollmaker by Harriette Arnow
The Dollmaker was originally published in 1954 to immediate success and critical acclaim. In unadorned and powerful prose, Harriette Arnow tells the unforgettable and heartbreaking story of the Nevels family and their quest to preserve their deep-rooted values amidst the turmoil of war and industrialization. When Gertie Nevels, a strong and self-reliant matriarch, follows her husband to Detroit from their countryside home in Kentucky, she learns she will have to fight desperately to keep her family together. A sprawling book full of vividly drawn characters and masterful scenes, The Dollmaker is a passionate tribute to a woman's love for her children and the land.

Great Book: Have you read Hotel New Hampshire?
Yeah. I liked Hotel New Hampshire, but not as much as some of Irving's other stuff. And now having finished it, I liked Garp better than it.
