While I don't read nearly as much in the Summer as the Winter, I'm never without a book at hand. I can usually squeeze in an hour or two in the evening.

I don't ever remember reading Sinclair Lewis, so by chance, I picked up THE GODSEEKER. For one thing, I found it to be quite interesting while being historically informative. I didn't know what to expect from the title--was the main character turning TO or AWAY from God? You'll have to read it to find out.

But it was Lewis' writing that grabbed my attention. WOW! I mean this guy was good! I can't describe how he wrote. I just know great writing when I read it.

Another good book was SUMMER GONE by David MacFarlane. I had a difficult time following the pattern he used, but it was different and well written.

In this age of pathetic "best sellers" authors (like James Patterson), it's refreshing to read quality books by some of the lesser known writers. You don't know what you're getting, but it's fun to try them out.

And, no offense, but I'd rather read a book than twenty blogs each evening. Sorry for my negligence lately.
