I'm reading an old Clive Cussler novel—Shock Wave. Bought it at Goodwill.

This is one of the popular Dirk Pitt novels.

Very entertaining.

Anyone read Cussler's books?

1. My Dad likes Cussler books :)

I'm reading 'The Outcast Dead' by Elly Griffiths.

2. Still reading Mingo Dabney

My reading time has been taken up with learning to read music (badly) and practicing guitar. It's been years since I played and never had any real training-last night I got though the 1st of Segovia's scale studies. I had to rewrite it in standard notation as well as tabulate because the master makes use of the whole neck and all the fingers. I was getting lost. Well this is one way to keep the brain functioning.

3. That sounds like quite a challenge.

4. _The Evolutionary Void_ by Peter F Hamilton

On to the last book of the space opera.

And yes, I've read most of the Dirk Pitt books and a collection of books in the other series. Perfect vacation reading.

5. Between books.

I just finished The Pillars of the Earth last night. Tonight I will start Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver.

6. Abaddon's Gate by James S.A. Corey

7. I'm reading another Swedish crime novel, "Black Lies, Red Blood" by Kjell Eriksson.

It's the 5th book of his Ann Lindell series (she's a Stockholm police detective) and they've all been first rate police procedurals.

I've not read any Clive Cussler.

8. Clive's characters

find themselves in impossibly dangerous situations that they always find a way out of. You might say Clive's plots are far-fetched. But, if you relax and go with the flow they keep you entertained.

9. I just finished The Cuckoo's Calling by

Robert Galbraith, pseudonym for JK Rowling. Loved her detective, Cormoran Strike. Looking forward to her second book.
