The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan

312 pages
5 hours 12 minutes
2006 National Book Award Winner

I love reading history.  This book really makes you understand, through the lives of those who were there, what led up to the Dust Bowl and the impact that a man named Hugh Bennett had on our nation.

Fascinating read!  I couldn't put it down.  And even Walter Cronkite recommended it.

Divorce after 24 years throws Paris Armstrong back in to the dating scene.

A difficult way of life for the mother of two nearly grown children, the youngest beginning his first year of college.

MARKER

Marker by Doctor Robin Cook 553 pages 8 hours

If you enjoy medical thrillers, Robin Cook is your man.

This one once again features Dr. Jack Stapleton and Dr. Laurie Montgomery who are Medical Examiners.

The thing that pulls me back again and again to Cook's books is the fact that no matter how far out it seems, everything in his stories is medically possible and truly scarey.

104 pages 1 1/2 hours

This non fiction book by Irving Dillard with photographs by Allyson Painter, is sort of a tour of and history of Missouri.

Reunion in Death by J. D. Robb

Actually, I read this one before Strangers in Death but checked them out at the same time.

A birthday bash sets the scene for a reunion with a killer from Detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas' past. Dallas and the killer match wits for lots of action in this thriller.
