The Year of the Flood
by Margaret Atwood
Year of the Flood (8/24/2009)
Margaret Atwood has given us both a terrifying and fascinating look at a possible future, one that seems more realistic than the many others that have been written. I could not put it down and the characters are especially endearing.

Brimstone
Brimstone
by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
 (9/20/2004)
I thoroughly enjoyed "Brimstone" because of Special Agent Pendergast. His talents seem most unlikely for one person, and yet you find yourself believing that such a person exists. After reading this book, which I could not put down, I went back and reread the entire series, …more
