The DU Lounge

In the last few years I've read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, as well as the Lord John books and the collection of stories in Seven Stones to Stand or Fall. I read the books (and I've reread all of them, too) after discovering the TV series several years ago.

When Hillary Clinton co-wrote a book with Louise Penny, I then went on to read all of Louise Penny's books about her character, Inspector Gamache. Finished the most recent one, The Black Wolf, not long ago. It's eerily prescient about the US government wanting to take over Canada to access their natural resources.

I've also read everything Jonathan Kellerman has ever written, not just the series devoted to his character Alex Delaware. Kellerman worked at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in the 1980's when I also worked there. I didn't know him personally, but I did know him to say 'hi' to in the elevator.

I've read all of John Grisham's mysteries.

There are other writers that haven't written a series, per se, but I've read everything they've written. I'll find a new author, read one or two books, and like the work so much I then methodically work through everything written by the person.

Thank goodness for public libraries!
