The Moving Finger
The Fourth Hand
A Face at the Window
Fingersmith
Bury My Heart and Wounded Knee (a two-fer) I've been keeping track of my books read in 2008 on my profile, and this looked like a fun way to do it too. I got off to a slow start, but am taking a month-long vacation in August/September and hope to make up some ground then. So far:
1. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
2. World With ... #128 - I didn't like the last one I read The Fourth Hand and so I waited until I could get the most recent Until I Find You for $1, so if I don't like it I won't fret over the lost money. It does make me sad, though. I thought A Widow for One Year was one of his best.
Yes, there are often ... 30) The World According to Garp by John Irving
I have only ever read one other Irving book and that was The Fourth Hand, which I did not like. Therefor I was hesitant to read another one, but decided to give him one more shot since I've heard many great things about this novel. I'm glad I ... The Fourth Hand by John Irving ... very self-indulgent at the PTA Thrift Shop today, considering it a reward for food shopping and running other errands:

Start ... ... to stand up for Irving here - I'm starting to feel like the only person in the world who loved Until I Find You and The Fourth Hand. I guess I'm in an exclusive club. To each his own, that's what makes the world such a great place to live, huh? ... and A Prayer for Owen Meany. A Prayer for Owen Meany is my daughter's favorite book of all time. By the time I got to The Fourth Hand, which I disliked, I stopped reading any more of his books. A Left-Hand Turn Around the World
The Heart is an Involuntary Muscle
Any Human Heart
The Fourth Hand
Children of my Heart ... of funny, but maybe one.
Starts with the Eyre Affair and has a second series with the big over easy which the latest the Fourth bear belongs to.

loved John Irving until The Fourth Hand -- so bad that I couldn't bring myself to read Until I Find You. A Widow for One Year is one of my favorite books of all time though. Am currently reading (and enjoying) The fourth K by Mario Puzo. A little bit braincandy, but fun thus far - a lend from my Father, who seems to be into mystery and thriller writing at the moment.
