The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century
Edward Dolnick
Harper, 2008
Short course in psychology, art and forgery
Not having read Edward Dolnick's previous book, "The Rescue Artist", I did not come to read "The Forger's Spell" with primed expectations. Mr. Dolnick succeeds in what many writers on this subject fail to do by showing and not telling the finer points of his subject. ...

The Confusion (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 2)
Neal Stephenson, 2004
Read the first? Don't give up yet!
So you've read the first, and you can't help noticing that many people quit on the Baroque trilogy at that point. Should you keep going?
I guess it depends. This is a trilogy that is after enormous ideas. Where a straight history would focus on finance or economics ...

The Bourne Ultimatum (Bourne Trilogy, Book 3)
Robert Ludlum
Bantam, 1991
Great plots!
I was first introduced to Jason Bourne via the movies, but happened across the Bourne Ultimatum and fell inlove with the book which was my first Ludlum. I like the various plots and it actually made me wish that the movies had followed the books much closer. Having ...

Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind No. 1)
Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins
Tyndale House Publishers, 1996
I Like It
I love this book. I had to force myself to but it down so I don't read though it all at once. I find that the characters are very real, and other than the initial event (the Rapture) all of the following events sound realistically possible (in a novel). I have read ...

Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding
David F. Tolin, Randy O. Frost, ...
Oxford University Press, USA, 2007
didn't know I have OCD-thought I was just an "accumulator"
First time ever to see a psychologist. She recommended this book. IT IS a TREASURE!! Some of the exercises are hard to do, but they sure open "doors" I didn't know I HAD!! A collector collects thing of VALUE; an accumulator saves EVERYTHING--Just In Case!!

Treasure Island (Enriched Classics Series)
Robert Louis Stevenson
Pocket, 2005
Classic that should be mandatory reading
While Treasure Island may have its detractors (usually those who were forced to read it as children or those who cannot handle the period speech) it is certainly a classic that can delight both young and old. Stevenson make a strong effort to catch the "tune of the ...

The Witch of Blackbird Pond (Yearling Newbery)

Yearling, 1972
Classic
I originally read this way back in jr. high and sadly only remember being entranced by it--not recalling any of the plot. I finally got around to the rereading and recalled why I had the original feeling of enchantment. This is one good book.
Kit Tyler is a ...

Another great book by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
After reading The Relic and Brimstone (both books by Preston and Child and with the fictionilized character Pendergast) I decided to read something different. Believe me, this is probably one of the best books I have ever read. A true adventure. You will not be able to ...
