WHAT TO READ NEXT

I am stumped, I have read several books but none of them on the reading the 100 list. will give a brief review on those but I need to pull out my list to see what I want to read next. After my deciding not to read "NAKED LUNCH", it came up in a book I was reading as part of their reading list. I thought that was funny but did not really want to start reading it again. Plus it is hard to get a book that the library only has one copy of in the entire area which encompasses at least 10 libraries. How instrumental could this book possibly be if no one has it. Back to my list: THE BALLAD OF TOM DOOLEY, by Sharyn McCrumb- great historical fiction, her take on the events seems very plausible. She did tones of research and actually visited the places where the events took place. Very enjoyable read. She really made me want to smack the real life characters in the head and shake them up a bit and of course ask "What were you thinking." THE BLACK HOUSE, by Peter May- Mystery with some twists set in UK, the detective who is central to this story in Fin short for Fionnlach. I probably spelled that wrong, I had to take the book back today. I really liked this book and am upset that I cannot find the two other books here in the States. I really good way to get a look at life on some of the islands. BLUE TWILIGHT, by Jessica Speart- Mystery based on poaching butterflies, with Rachel Porter as the Fish and Wildlife person taking on the case. This author is getting better and better with each book. I wish my library carried her books, so I would not have to keep buying them. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, James Patterson- Another detective book, but I love a fast read when I am traveling, so that if you need to leave it behind you can. I have the third book in this series waiting in the wings. When I read a series book I have to read them all and then I put them aside for awhile, it is an addiction. NEXT NON-LIST BOOKS: WISH YOU WELL by David Baldacci (Book Club Choice) AMONG OTHERS by Jo Walton MY HEART IS BOUNDLESS: Writings by Abigail May Alcott, Louisa's Mother, by Eve LaPlante So what am I going to read next on the list, I will let you know as soon as I figure it out.
