Novels of Note

[Stuart_Cormie]

As usual, I'm reading more novels than I probably should all at once.  Fortunately, all these books are great.   For any who are looking for a summer read, I recommend all these titles:

FICTION:

Harry Potter 6 by Rowling (of course)
Sundiver by David Brin
A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Prachet
Rocket Science by Jay Lake

NONFICTION:
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey


Yes, I'm reading all these at once, but I just finished Harry Potter and I don't plan on picking up anything to replace it.  All of these books are great, especially the Prachet novel -- he is always halarious!

I've known a few people who've read it, commendably wishing to improve upon what they perceive to be their ineffectiveness.<br><br>It didn't work ::)

Ah, yes -- early John Irving, full of wrestling allusions and bears in various forms ...<br><br>Sorrow floats.<br><br>and<br><br>Keep passing the open windows.<br><br>(both from the Hotel New Hampshire)<br><br>and<br><br>Watch out for the undertoad!<br><br>(from The World According to Garp)<br><br>When you remember bits from books twenty or thirty years after you read them, the author must have done something right.<br><br>Robert M.
