7. I troll the aisles too

after the featured tables.

IMO, I'm a spoiled reader...read so many IMO (who else matters?) good authors that a lot of fiction "possibilities" get ruled out. Otherwise, I'm pretty eclectic about genres - what seems a really good story with great characterizations takes it home.

I used to be more random; therefore, I've got memories of books I read a long time ago, but I can't for the life of me remember their titles or authors to recommend them...one was about a hit and run accident (lies, evasions, investigation), another about lightening setting off an explosion that killed off nearly a whole town that read more like a documentary but wasn't, another about trying to stop some sort of threat that killed off the worms on up the food chain in a research area that threatened to go global with a scientist with a young son who tried to stop it; another I thought would surely be made into a tv series or movie - world leaders at some sort of conference on an ocean-going ship...Any help here?

True confessions? Trolling aisles in the library makes me fart...it's a family joke -- so if you see me - run! At least I'll have the aisle all to myself, lol.
