I never got around to reading this one, but I have a California one by him instead. |

Gai-Jin James Clavell Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
I'd never read anything from this author before, and found it really enjoyable. An English record shop owner tries to bring meaning to his life by going through all his past relationships. There are many poignant insights into a man's mind, and a refreshing honesty in this story. It's also very funny. |

Lady of the Forest Jennifer Roberson Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Not a bad Robin Hood legend. At times the characters were a bit too modern for my liking, given the setting, but it's nice to have a Maid Marion who's a toughie. I liked the twist on why RH was doing what he was doing. |

Shogun James Clavell Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
I've read this one several times, and even enjoyed the TV series back in the eighties. It's a powerful insight into the values and thoughts of a very different culture. |

Tai-Pan James Clavell Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Not one I read. I think I must have just gone off James Clavell... |

11 November 2003 A San Jose light rail station |
White Oleander Janet Fitch Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Truly enjoyed this book. It has a strong sadness to it, as the main protagonist is foisted from foster home to foster home... trying on different selves until she finally finds something that works. Didn't think I'd enjoy it, but I did. |

Zodiac Neal Stephenson Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
A duplicate copy for release. I enjoyed this eco-thriller quite a lot when I read it a few months ago. |

Floating Dragon Peter Straub Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Another author I've gone off. I thought "Ghost Story" was excellent, though. |

10 November 2003 Downtown Sunnyvale post office |
Hyperion Dan Simmons Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Picked up for hubby at a library book sale; however, he wasn't interested, so I left it in the wild. |

Noble House James Clavell Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Ditto. |

Night of the Fox Jack Higgins Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Not one I read. Picked up at a library book sale for Don, but he didn't enjoy it. |

East of Desolation Jack Higgins Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Not one I read. Picked up at a library book sale for Don, but he didn't enjoy it. |

1 November 2003 Martin Murphy Jr. Historical Park |
Plum Island Nelson De Mille Amazon.com Amazon.co.uk Amazon.ca Barnes & Noble |
Thoroughly enjoyed it. A dark thriller about an island that might be infected with nasty diseases, an historical society, and a rambunctious cop recovering from a GSW. |
