Interesting. I suppose I should be walking on my days off, too, to help with the high BP. I just don't like sitting doing nothing but listening to audio, so walking just might make it palateable. I'll try it with an old Walkman I have and a cassette from the library.
Ditto, except the mysteries. I read and watched so many in my yout that I am still totally burned out on them. Brit mysteries are quite a bit better, less than ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE.
No, I haven't, but my sister may give it to me in a couple months. She buys lots of new books and then recycles them through me when I'm game. I'm a Potter movie fan, too, but haven't read any of the books. And if any of the bloody Muggles don't like this thread, they can darned well hit the "I" key to ignore it.
That he did! I saw the movie eons ago.
Why do you feel that, Leon?
My sister gave me the Harry Dresden novels. I was reluctant to read them at first because the TV series was so absolutely dreadful. The books were a full 180 degrees from that. Very good. Give them a try.
Another series my sister pointed out to me was Gena Showalter's Alien Huntress series. Aliens and vampires, but done for a thinking audience. Sultry spy/action mysteries, if you will. Start with her first one, _Awaken Me Darkly_.
