The books I have in my 'read again' selection that I'm trying to sell: Coben, Sheldon, Patterson, Parker, Buckley, Baldacci, Roberts, Conror, McCullough, Coulter, Robb, Flynn, Deaver, Cromwell, Hiassen, ...the list continues. Good reads. I bought many of my books from a used book store near me. The store has gone out of business and now I am checking titles on eBay and other on-line sites.

Frequently I find that books that might be popular in my neck of the woods are not to my liking. Since I read a lot, I'm finding this on-line buying is getting expensive. I like to have a hands on look at the book. A quick check and I'll know if I've read it before. I admit, I don't tend to remember titles. Must quickly scan content. Perhaps I am naive but I think that with all these good authors someone would want good group of "to read" books. (no wonder the store closed. Now up to 47 books for $15.00. Less than the cost of 2 new paperbacks.)

Not sure about which "The Girl..." you are referring to but the main character drank a lot and her drinking was a main factor in the whole story. I really did not like it.
Give me a good Flynn, Child, Parker, Coulter (et al) book any day!

PS, Edited to add: The author of "The Girl..." I just read was Paula Hawkins.
