The Borrowers by M. Norton
Whoosh! You see a hat pin sail across the room, much like a javelin, and pin onto the lace curtain. Then, a small man no more than six inches tall scurries across the room.

Patriot's Dream
Barbara Michaels
Chivers Audio Books, 1999
Addictive!!!
Whew! I feel like I've been caught in the middle of the main character's obsession. I found myself feeling much the same way Jan did--I just need to get through the everyday stuff before I can return to what's happening. I have never read any of Barbara Michaels' ...

Sharpe's Triumph (The Battle Assaye, September 1803)
Bernard Cornwell
Chivers Audio Books, 1999
Glory in the Midst of Bloody Battles and Duplicity
If you haven't yet read Sharpe's Tiger, I recommend that you begin your reading of this exciting series with that book. The characters and story in Sharpe's Triumph will make more sense that way.

Search the Shadows/Audio Cassettes
Chivers Audio Books, 1990
Queen of gothic suspense
Barabara Michaels is my favorite author. In this book, as in all her others, she blends suspense and romance without gore or graphic sexual exploits. Her heroines are always intelligent, independent, and memorable. Always a good bedtime read.

Sophie's Choice
William Styron
Chivers Audio Books, 2003
sad, but not fulfilling
Sophie's choice is a very engrossing novel, well written and poetic. The momentum towards the core of the novel, i.e. Sophie's choice, is masterfully built. But I felt very let down about the fact that Styron does not go into a more detailed analysis of Sophie's ...
