    I'm reading Stephen King's "On Writing". I'm using it as a tool to help me with writing my book. I'm also reading "Emma" by Jane Austen.

    where do you download books from?

    www.audible.com

    I buy a package that includes 24 credits for about $220 so less than $10 a book. iTunes also has mp3 format books.

    Hang in there- when you get to page 57 is starts to tie together and then you will not be able to put it down.

    Nelson DeMille's "The Lion" a sequel to the "The Lion's Game". Good murder, suspense, mystery books.

    I am re-reading Anne of Green Gables, and still going through Mary Magdalene: Christianity's hidden Goddess. I am also re-reading some of my For Better or For Worse comic treasury books, they are so funny it makes me forget it is so hot! We are in the middle of a heat wave being pushed in by Hurricane Earl, which is expected to hit off shore early Saturday morning.

    Hi All,

    Anybody ever read Jean M Auel's series. She's writing a sixth book thats out next year. I absolutely love these books I re-read them every year and a half. I've never found anyone thats read the series though which is a shame. I'm so excited about the new book. I can't wait to read more of Ayla's story.

    Themes - Prehistoric, Strong Women, Invention, Survival, Fitting in, Spiritual, Mythical.

    The Clan of the Cave Bear, 1980
    The Valley of Horses, 1982
    The Mammoth Hunters, 1985
    The Plains of Passage, 1990
    The Shelters of Stone, 2002
    The Land of Painted Caves, 2011

    I'm working on the shelters of stone right now, and of the entire series so far, it's the one I CAN put down. I'm just not that engaged as I was before. Does the Land of Painted Caves get better?

    Its not out yet but I'm really looking forward to it. I agree that the Shelters of Stone wasn't as page turning as the others. It wasn't as exciting as the Journey books. The new one will be the last story. I also watched the film Clan of the Cave Bear with Daryl Hannah. Its terrible. It just doesn't work on screen.


    Spoiler Alert - (Synopsis below)



    THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES concludes the story of Ayla, her mate Jondalar, and their little daughter, Jonayla, taking readers on a journey of discovery and adventure as Ayla struggles to find a balance between her duties as a new mother and her training to become a Zelandoni – one of the Ninth Cave community's spiritual leaders and healers.

    Currently re-reading wuthering heights. Love that book, you start to see Heathcliff's redeeming features after the first time. At first he appears to be a right *kitten*, but you understand him more each time you read the book!
