OT need reading material- help!

I knew we've covered this several times, but I can't stay on my computer
long enough to do a lot of searching in the archives, so am asking for the
same ol' stuff..... again.

I thought I'd be laid up with this darn surgery for only two weeks, so I
bought 2 WalMart bags of used paperbacks before the surgery thinking it
would be plenty of reading material. Well, now I'm running out of books. I
need some suggestions so I can order more books online. First, where are
some websites that sell discounted books? Half.com and some "libris" place?
Any others?

Second, I've about exhausted all the books by my fave authors. My first
line of writers include: #1 is Janet Evanovich (of course, Polly! VBG),
Leslie Glass, Nevada Barr, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton,
Sara Paretsky, Kathy Reichs, Earlene Fowler, Sharon Fifer, Diana Gabaldon,
Sara Donati (Is she the same person as Gabaldon???)

Second line: James Lee Burke, Ann Perry, Joan Hess, M. C. Beaton, Alice
Hoffman

Started a Steven Saylor book and just could not get into it. Sorry to those
who enjoy his writing.....

It appears I'm mostly fond of murder mysteries and coroner/pathologist type
books.

So, any suggestions for other authors and cheap books?

I have done very much better the past few days- really turned a corner. I'm
pushing myself in PT. I have a goal- I want to start walking with some
weight bearing sooner than the 2 months mark. I see my surgeon on June 4
and I want to dazzle him with my progress so I can return to The Land of The
Active/Living.

Thanks again for all the cards and photos and squishies! They are still
coming in daily and so brighten my days! The HairyButt Gang seems to know I
am a bit 'fragile' right now and have been sooooo sweet with me. The
biggest problem is that they cuddle so close that I feel strangled and
suffocated in the bedsheets!

TIA!

Have you read any of Jonathan Kellerman's stuff? He does the series
of Alex Delaware novels and they are a good read. Alex is a "shrink"
and his best friend is a gay LA Det. named Milo Sturgis. They solve all
sorts of strange psycho killer murders!
Now, I have literally BAGS of paperback -- most of them adventure,
murder mysteries and the like that I would be thrilled to send you! And
I am serious about this because I would just have to schlepp them to the
local Goodwill if I don't find someone to send them too! Media Mail is
way cheap too so it wouldn't really cost me much at all. So -- please
e-mail me about this, OK? I'M SERIOUS, really and truly I am!!!!!

Yep, forgot all about Deaver- I really enjoy his books, also. Thanks for
reminding me.

You might try Jeffery Deaver. He wrote the book,"The Bone Collector",
that was made into the movie that Denzel Washington starred in. Several
of his books are about that character - Lincoln Rhyme - He is a detective
that is completely paralized and solves crimes with the help of a crew of
other police/detectives. Very interesting.

Good thoughts and wishes for your recovery.

And a wonderful used book shopping place is www.abebooks.com I've found
some treasures there for just $1 but need to warn you. They represent more
that 13,000 bookstores *worldwide* and it's not quite bright to pay postage
from UK unless there's not a store closer that sells something you badly
want. I wish I knew of someone as much fun as Evanovich. Have you read
Harry Potter? Polly

Good luck with your recovery.

You seem to like a lot of the same type of book I do, so a few more author
off the tom of my head:

David Baldacci - wonderful books of mystery and intrigue, surprise twists
Sidney Sheldon - more of mystery and intrigue
Lisa Scottoline - lady lawyer, mystery type
John Grisham - mystery, intrigue

Ann

i was about to say diana gabaldon, oh well.

Mazur is not in them but he would have liked her. Polly

Barbara Michaels
P. D. James
Michael Crichton
Robin Cook
Bill Bryson (definite spew warnings needed)
Jan Karon

Diane Mott Davidson has light weight mysteries. She's a caterer who gets
