What are you reading this summer to pass the hours? This past week I read Robert Parker's book, Widow's Walk. I love his fictional character Spenser and how his stories take place in Boston. After, I picked up the Jeffrey Archer novel, A Prisoner of Birth, which is sort of a modern day Count of Monte Cristo. I've read several of Archer's novels and they are always epic stories that I get completely sucked into.I have to head off to the library to pick up a few more books. What have you been reading? Any suggestions?

I just finished Loving Frank, by Kathleen Horan. It is a fictional account of the real life affair that Frank Lloyd Wright had with a married woman. It's done well and gives a bit of insight into life at the turn of the century. (Don't think it is really a beach read, though).
I've also really enjoyed Dennis Lehane's books. Like Parker, set in Boston. The detective duo, Angela and Patrick, are great fun. There are 5 of them; it's best to read them in order (although I didn't). Some are downright scary!
1. A Drink before the War
2. Darkness Take my Hand
3. Sacred
4. Gone Baby Gone
5. Prayers for Rain
Thanks Karen - much appreciated. How was Ireland?
Hey Rob:
Ireland was great. Such a beautiful country. I am definitely looking forward to a return trip at some point.
Sounds like you are having a good summer! Enjoy.
