I don't love to read, but I have read and enjoyed some books.
I love MYSTERIES! Whodunits are great! It's why the "Scream" movies
are so great!

*ones I've read
BRAINDROPPINGS.......By GEORGE CARLIN
This book is hilarious! It's almost like watching him do stand-up!
You can picture how he would deliver the lines. It is funny...and often
really, really, really weird...I think he'd really be happy to hear that.
If you like Comedy, especially CARLIN, It's a must!!!
DON'T STAND TO CLOSE TO A NAKED MAN....By Tim Allen
An excellent book, especially if your a fan of the ToolMan. He describes
various times in his life, and naturally, there's humor in it. You could buy
Those Bob Vila books, but Tim's book has MORE POWER, Agh-AGH-agh...
THOMAS GIFFORD
Thomas Gifford is a fiction writer. I bought "The Assassini" for one
dollar at a rummage sale. A few months after I bought it, I started reading
it. It grabbed my interest, and although, I took several breaks, I finished
it, and it was really good. So, I bought some more of his books.
THE ASSASSINI
"The Assassini" is about a lawyer named Ben Driscoll who stumbles upon
a Secret brotherhood of killers known as the Assassini while investigating
his sister's death. The Pope is ill, and The Vatican officials are figuring
out who's to succeed. The book has some great plot twists, and some good
action. It does have about 600-700 pages...but it's good.
THE WIND CHILL FACTOR
"Hitler lost the war. But some Nazi survivors view their defeat as a
temporary setback. Now their key personnel, in place inside the corporations
and capitals of every major nation, are rerady to make their move...unless
John Cooper, a man who thought he'd turned his back on this evil forever,
can find a way to stop them"
It took me only a few days to read this book. It was cool!
THE FIRST SACRIFICE
The sequel to "The Wind Chill Factor." John Cooper's estranged sister
contacts him, and tells him that her child is missing. John goes to Germany,
and finds himself up against Neo-Nazi thugs, and their leader--who is married
to John's sister. Not a bad sequel...
PRAETORIAN
"London, 1941. American radio correspondent Rodger Godwin has been
chosen by Prime Minister Churchill to cover the story of a lifetime: a daring
raid to assassinate Field Marshal Rommel. But the mission, code-named
Praetorian, is a disaster, and now, a gravely wounded Godwin wants only one
thing: revenge against the traitor who leaked the plan to the Nazis."
SAINTS REST
This is the sequel to "The Assassini." I just bought this book, and I
haven't read it yet. I have other books I have to read first...one of my
classes is "Good Books." So, it'll be a while before I read this one. I have
a feeling it'll be good!
THE LOW END OF NOWHERE
I recently...Ha!...about a month and a half ago, read "The Low End of Nowhere,
by Michael Stone. This was a pretty good book. I think it was well written
with that cool dry sense of humor. I love that!
GREAT POLITICAL WIT: LAUGHING (ALMOST) ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE
I just bought "Great Political Wit," by Bob Dole. It's a collection of of
funny quips and things Dole has heard during his life. I saw him on Letterman
a few weeks ago, and it was funny! He has that dry sense of humor that I love.
After I saw him there, I just had to get the book.
