Jonathan ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Here's the Goodreads list of Best Mysteries of the 21st Century" for ideas.
From that list, I'd say both The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Kite Runner would be considered modern classics. Also, anything by Flynn.
I'm not good at guessing what will stand the test of time, but I really liked Jane Harper's "The Dry".
If this was the basis of the recent Australian movie with Eric Bana, I'd second this. The film is great.
Megan - I haven't seen the movie version. Will have to look for it. I also recommend Harper's "The Lost Man".
Third to Tana French.
Seconding Laura Lippman.
I liked both those Jane Harper books too!
I love Deborah Crombie's series, and you could liken her to Louise Penny.
I am laughing at Dr Seward complaining about having to write his diary with a pen like a chump. Such a tech bro!
I know, right?
Man, I hate it when I read the Dracula Daily email on my phone and it cuts off at a point that seems like it could be the end of that day but the next day I have clearly missed A LOT because there was more post that I didn’t see.
So, really enjoyed Dracula Daily and mis it now that it's done for the year. Skimmed through some of the other serialized things that are available but nothing is grabbing me - I really like how the Dracula posts were tied to the date in the narrative and I'm not seeing anything else with that kind of organizing principle. Anyone signed up for anything they recommend?
