mysteries mysteries murder mysteries true murder mysteries
uh-huh
and uh tacky romances
uh-huh sounds like we like the same kind
what do you what have you read lately
well see i read the uh oh Helen McImes i read a trilogy of hers
oh i got that The Cradle uh
yeah
a set a group of three in one book
The Cradle will Fall and
is that the right who's is that one
uh she's the one that writes uh
uh they're real good she's been writing for a long time and i was trying to remember she wrote one uh she writes they've always have gone the spy um
uh thing with them you know setting in in foreign places or and they're they always have kind of a twist to them
i've read i've read a few of hers i was just thinking i i just read a trilogy of Mary Higgins Clark
oh yeah um-hum
and uh that's so that's why i got confused but
yeah those are good too
and
uh-huh
and then i got uh
some of Robert Ludlum's i like those too do you like him
i've read all of his
yeah i get the Supreme Bourne Supreme the Bourne ones i get them all mixed up
i can't oh it's been so long since i've read them but i will buy those in hardback
yeah i have a lot of those in hardback too
and uh
uh and did you read Fried Green Tomatoes
no is it a good book
oh it's wonderful
where did you get it
well my daughter gave it to me uh quite a while ago to read
and uh then uh uh i guess what brought it to mind uh was that uh last time i went to see the movie
and uh it did not disappoint me and it's it's just so well written of course Fanny Flag wrote it
uh-huh
and uh it's uh it's got humor in it and a little bit of suspense suspense
uh-huh
and uh uh and you'll cry
so well i loved Steel Magnolias i heard it was similar to that
well i think i didn't read Steel Magnolias but i think it's probably better than Steel Magnolias were
the movie is anyway and Steel Magnolias was tremendous
yeah that's one of my favorites
but uh this one it just uh sort of has a well my husband enjoyed it i i just kind of mixed you know mixed feelings i didn't know whether he would it might be a woman's movie
uh-huh
but uh he just he just raved about the actresses in it that they were so good and everything was real and
it was just really good and the reason my daughter gave it to me is because my mother is in a nursing home
um-hum
and i think that uh she was trying to give me something to kind of make me get a message of some kind
yeah
but uh it was good
i might go get it because i i'm reading Newsweek right now and i'm going to be finished in a minute and and Bookstop stays open till eleven
um-hum
um-hum well i would highly recommended it and don't get discouraged in the first few chapters
oh i i don't do that i read those i read pretty quickly
because
well you may have to go i do to and i had to go back and reread
because you have to get the they're telling two stories at once
um-hum
and you have to get it straight and get the names straight
that's the thing get all the names straight
that could be difficult but uh
uh-huh where you you're working with two stories and once you get that down it flows and you can't wait to get to the next part
it uh it's one of those that you get caught up in
i read uh Prince of Tides i haven't seen that movie yet
oh
i haven't read that book was it good
yes it was
okay i'll have to see if i can get it
well i'll bring it next meeting
