    I'm reading a book called "Blink".

    Malcolm Gladwell wrote a well researched novel about how humans have a natural ability to make split decisions in the "blink of an eye" that are actually well educated "guesses" and often times turn out to be the correct decision even after we go back and research our hasty judgement call.

    I like it, lots of well researched info and very easy to follow.

    I've red Wilbur Smith's The Quest, his fourth book about Taita the magician from old Egypt. How anybody can manage to write so many pages about absolutely nothing I don't understand. I was bitterly disappointed.

    I recently read "On Ice" by new author Red Evans. It's a quick read and funny story about a boy and banjo player who travel across the U.S. with the boy's dead uncle in the back of a pickup truck who's on ice in a kiddy pool...oh yeah, and there's a flatulent dog in the back seat!

    I've dug out Vera Henriksen's novels set in the Viking age. Entertaining and not too demanding.

    Polly, if you prefer inspirational or Christian literature, you might enjoy "The Wednesday Letters" by Jason Wright. It's about a family who gets together after their parents death, and discovers letters that their father wrote to their mother throughout the years. It's been popular here, and thought I'd mention it.

    FOR ALL WHO ENJOY SUSPENSE (AND DOGS)...
    I'm about half way through Dean Koontz's new novel THE DARKEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR. It's a suspense novel like you'd expect from Koontz, but also highlights his other passion...golden retrievers. I'm really enjoying it.
