I heard Lamb was baaaaaaddddd.... I heard Laimb was arssssssssssse This is the post where Darth said "RMZA". I wasn't sure what that meant when I read it in January. But, I think I get it now. You were trying to quote Reply #130, which had a link to a book. The end of the link was "RMZA". When you were quoting that post, you didn't delete the link entirely, and "RMZA" was still there. |

RMZA
,
RMZA is an acronym for “Read My Zips Again”. George Bush said it a year ago when reporters kept asking if he still guaranteed Jed would become the next U.S. president. Irregardless, you guys are ignorant bumpkins.Go bother someone else.
*Only Laimbeer would actually track the source of that down and figure it out. You gotta give the boobie credit.

So maybe pick 2 or 3 that you want to discuss. OK. Lamb was the one where Jesus’ best friend “Biff” fills in the missing first 30 years. Quite fun. Non-offensive. 1. Still Life. Louise Penny. My go to #1 cozy series. It’s actually just at the edge of cozy. Cats don’t solve crimes and nobody dies by a frozen brownie to the forehead, no amateur deetective. Only cozy elements but it wins the big Agatha cozy #1 awards many years.I had read books 3-10 but this was book one I got on a deal so all I’m missing from before is book 2. Highly recommend this series. 2. The Anubis gates. Time travel. Supposedly Tim Powers best book. I don’t remember anything about it. This was my 2nd book by him. He’s popular but I am done with him. Don’t recommend. 3.. Deeds of the Distirber. Elizabeth Powers. I’ve now read books 1 & 5. Great series. A sarcastic and independent firecracker of an archeologist. Back in 1900 when women weren’t supposed to be like that. Her hubby has quite a temper but knows he can’t stop her from getting into trouble. . Funny without forced humor. Her 6 year old kid “Ramses” talks kike a college professor. She bosses even strangers around but they listen because she makes everything sound sensible. Highly recommend. Laimbeer would love * it if he wasn’t illiterate*. 4. The Bear and The Nightingale. An adult award winning dark fantasy. Deals with Rissian mythology. 3 book series. Recommended but not for $14 gor a 350 page Kindle book. But they can be read as standalones and this was $3 on a Deal. 5. Children Of Earth and Sky. Guy Gavriel Kay is my favorite Fantasy writer. His books are tear jerkers. Happy, sad, or bittersweet. He never wastes a word. This was another alternative history. With Easter eggs too (hidden allusions to another book). Highly recommend this beautiful writing.,Every one a gem!! Complicated realist characters! Books 6-18 later. |

Ouch. Must not be a good book if a book about time travel is boring.
How did the archeologist get in trouble?
That's awesome that you read a book with Easter Eggs, and that you recognized them. Glad you found something so enjoyable.
How many hours do you read a day?

Glad you found something so enjoyable. How many hours do you read a day? I’m the exception to the rule. Most people really liked The Anubis Gates. I’m still drawing a blank on it. I know the cover was something to do with Egypt. Icould look it up but trying to remember on my own The archeologist in the Elizabeth Peters books doesn’t get in trouble other than an amateur detective getting caught up with murders. Recommend reading both of these consecutively. Scarlet first. 6. A Study In Scarlet. A short Sherlock Holmes novel by Doyle. I reread it because I wanted to compare it to Gaiman’s short story A Study In Emerald. Very rarely do I reread books or stories. 7. The Nature Of The Beast. #11 in my Louise Penny series. 8-18 laterRecommend |

Have you ever actually read a book with Sherlock Holmes?
What did you think?
Also, what do you think of John Grishom? I didn't realize until last week, how many of his books became movies.

Yes. I’ve read just about all the short stories and I think the only novel I haven’t read, ironicallly, was his most famous. The Hound Of The Baskervilles.
ACD stopped writing them. He was frustrated that his other works (which are excellent weren’t appreciated.So he wrote more when his fans bugged him. He finally killed him off dying with his arch enemy (Moriarity) at some Waterfall.(Richenbach or somerhing). Discovered by Watson. But wait...years later he wrote (at least) one other. He faked his death for 3 years.

Oh. John Grisham. I only read The Client around 14 years ago. It was entertaining. I enjoyed the movie “The Jury”.
