DT, I forgot to add I recently ordered from Amazon, Henry Miller"the paris years by Brassai translated by Timothy Best. Have you read it? Even if it's a dud, I'll hope the photos are good.

I have read Redemption by Leon Uris. I truly enjoy reading his books..

Cigalechanta,

I remember leafing through this one a long time ago, and wish I would have purchased at the time. As I recall they were,of course, some great photos from Brassai.

Topping to copy more, because it's been a dry summer book-wise. Thanks all, J.

Forgive me for repeating myself from another thread but I should have replied here first.

If you're looking for non-fiction with exhilarating substance, keen insight, and a smart and sassy writing style, there's much NYC buzz behind Betsy Prioleau's "Seductress." This book has my name written all over it and I couldn't put my advanced copy down. It's a "must read" for every woman or men who love women. I believe it comes out in October.

Oooo, NYCFS, that looks great!

For airplane reading, I like Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiasson -- always safe bets for engaging page turners that can be forgotten immediately upon completion.

I can remember being utterly absorbed by 2 long books on long flights: The Alienist (Caleb Carr) and Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson).
