It's frustrating, I just had to put down yet another book for this reason and I am hoping to get something new to read. I love Patricia Cornwell and Karin Slaughter... can anyone recommend me an author along those lines? Also love John Irving yet he is very wordy. These days I confuse so easily... maybe I should try reading non-fiction?

Seasha, awesome, I will check out getting some of her stuff, thanks!! She sounds familiar but I can't say for sure anything I may have read from her.
nyblondie, yes I hate the new cover thing... what is that all about? fooling us? it's working!
I don't know if I could compile a list of all the books I have read. Some authors I only read in order of their release so as not to re-read/re-buy but others I am still getting to know. Maybe I could ask my partner to make a list for me.. it would be a start... I just don't seem to have the concentration to do it but it is a good idea.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've read three books by Muggeridge. Conversion, Jesus Rediscovered, and A Third Testament are the titles. Frankly it has been too many years ago for me to remember details. He was a contemporary and friend of C.S. Lewis and I just appreciate his honest style of writing. The first two are nonfiction, autobiographical. Anyway, if you decide to read something by him, let me know. His style is NOT like Chesterton but very engaging. Chesterton had to be read in small doses (by me).
I will look for the Rilke book you've suggested. And I will return to the book I have and give it another try. Thanks. Loved

Mystery / Crime series for me.
I've been reading the Hamish MacBeth crime series by M.C. Beaton and the Thomas Pitt/Monk series by A. Perry.
What I'm gonna do when I finish both series I shudder to think.
It's the only thing that can relax me enough so I can go to sleep at a decent time."It's easier to be critical than correct."- Disraeli

Loved comments on Muggeridge
L:
Thanks for the titles, I'm rereading Orthodoxy by GKC. I too, need to read 6 -8 pps at a time to get his drift. I will look for one of your suggestions after. Thanks again, and drop a note if you come across any other author that gives the brain a work out...

I just finished The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck. Beautiful. Amazing story of a young boy learning the difference between wants and needs. He sure didnt want the sweater, just that bike with the banana seat...very well written!
