She...Kathy -- Wow! I am impressed. You inspire me!<br /><br />Sheila -- It would be cool to have English versions since he strikes me as a very English author. <br /><br />Shelley -- If you like mysteries that are clever but not too creepy, you may want to give Francis a try. <br /><br />Ann -- My library had several on unabridged CD. That's what got me hooked on them. I'm a big audiobook fan.Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-50892468161546589642010-06-17T11:22:17.581-07:002010-06-17T11:22:17.581-07:00I have read quite a few of his books over the year...I have read quite a few of his books over the years, but, I haven't read one in the last few years. I don't know why, because I have always enjoyed his books. I think I will see if I can find any on CDs and listen to them in the evenings. I am getting hooked on books on Tape or CDs, to pass the evenings away, since I can't find anything on TV that interests me, anymore.

All are worth reading if you like the style.Kathy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168003964595205125noreply@blogger.com
