I also read John Sandford's Lucas Davenport series right away. Although they are American, Mark Gimenez and Edward Wright are published in the UK first if at all so I order them from Book Depository. For many years James Lee Burke would have be the first in my line, but not any more.Kent Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834261948994921554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-57592143569326284062013-08-25T10:28:48.053-04:002013-08-25T10:28:48.053-04:00I'm counting the days until Thomas Pynchon'...I'm counting the days until Thomas Pynchon's BLEEDING EDGE is published on September 17th.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-3122499621397122532013-08-24T18:42:04.506-04:002013-08-24T18:42:04.506-04:00Louise Penny and William Kent Krueger.Louise Penny and William Kent Krueger.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-18229164547894549362013-08-24T17:16:24.677-04:002013-08-24T17:16:24.677-04:00Alphabetically:

Also, I don't like that sense of obligation that always having to read a writer's latest work immediately creates.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-34271347554508848272013-08-24T15:35:46.912-04:002013-08-24T15:35:46.912-04:00Anything by John Conroe (The Demon Accord series)....Anything by John Conroe (The Demon Accord series).

Fortunately, I can buy any of the books by the authors I mentioned from new and used bookstores in Mumbai. I usually don't wait long to read authors like Vonnegut, Rushdie, and Sharpe. The rest have to wait their turn on my BTR pile. Your questions provide interesting perspectives on the kind of books we're all reading and I wonder how they define us as books readers.Prashant C.

Most books I so desperately want to read are already published by authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Sharpe, Philip Roth, Louis Auchincloss (a forgotten writer), John Updike, Georgette Heyer, and Graham Greene. There are many others, though.Prashant C.
