Shasta what is that from??  (I feel like I've read it recently, something from the new yorker maybe?)

Faith of My Fathers (A Family Memoir) by John McCain with Mark Salter

Great book! It was on the NYT bestsellers list, but I don't know about the New Yorker.

hi Saucy!  Great to see you Bud!  I'm at work too... thus the sort of strange sentence I'm quoting here for my contribution to the thread.
NICKY!!!!! :-* :-*

I've missed you SO MUCH!! It's nice to see you here! :D
Nicky!!! `Great to see you!

Thanks Buds! I've lurked from time to time and I'm just starting to feel like maybe doing the odd post. One of these days I'll tell y'all what I've been up to...

Meanwhile... a joke.

Hunh, well I definitely haven't read that book... maybe it was quoted in a review or article on McCain or something... who knows?? (I did read an article in The New Yorker recently about the state of Conservatism/the Republican party, etc...

Sure sounded familiar.

Nope! I bought the book. Actually Long After Midnight is the only Iris Johansen novel I've read. I've read it THREE times! I'm a big P.D. James fan though - Devices and Desires, Original Sin and The Skull Beneath The Skin, just to name a few. :D

Do you have some favorite Iris Johansen novels to recommend?


Took me awhile to figure it out, but the 2 novels I've read are Final Target and Blind Alley... gripping enough for me, if not very high on quality, lol!
