I'm going to read At Risk by Stella Rimington and hope maybe someone else wants to join me. I heard Bob Edwards interviewing Rimington and it got me interested in her. I don't normally read mysteries but I want to change that. A few friends are avid mystery readers and they always seem so eager to read everything written by a particular writer. Sounds like a healthy addiction. Years ago I got hooked on the "Rabbi" mysteries -- you know the series -- "The Rabbi Ate Too Many Bananas on Thursday" or whatever -- and I read them all in one big rush. I've also read a few P.D. James novels, but nothing in the past 15 years. Stella Rimington was the first woman head of M15, the UK's counter-intelligence and security agency, so she has impressive credentials to write such a book. I don't have the book yet but will order one tomorrow (if I can't find a copy at the library) so I may start reading as early as next week.
If anyone wants to start any of the other books nominated for No. 3, just let me know and I'm in. (Wish I could say that applies to Atlas Shrugged but I just can't. It's too long and I'm too slow.)
Hope someone reads this. I'll probably report on the book even if I'm talking to myself.
Love to all, Pam

Hi Paula!
Glad to see the blog still lives.
About getting together with Ed and Hagit: I think we'll be able to make it. Any chance for a Sunday afternoon? Or a Saturday night? Venue is Ed's call, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm half-way through the Rimington book and it's just what I wanted: light but readable, plot not so complicated that I had to make a list of the characters. No, it didn't get any nominations as far as I know. I just enjoyed the author being interviewed and decided to give it a try.

Ooops. I meant to put the comment above on Paula's post for Aug 19, not here. It now appears in both places.
