Has anyone read any good mystery novels? I'm in the mood for a mystery novel right now.

I've read Fear Nothing, and concur with Flynn- good stuff!
If it works, it's a Fluke.

Sounds interesting. I will keep an eye out for that one. Unless someone I know possibly owns it and wants to lend it to me. *cough*Flynn*cough* :-D

Darn. I'll have to remember that one the next time I go to the used book store.

I'm currently reading a biography of Adolf Hitler, by John Toland.  Very interesting to see how the social, political, and economic situation in Germany contributed to his rise to power...

That's got to be an interesting read, doc. I've occassionally thought of reading Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf. Interestingly, I just found a text copy of it online a few minutes ago. It's on the the website of the Hitler Historical Museum. Who woulda' thunk?

  I read "Cell", the new one from King.  I liked it but at first I got the impression that he used a lot of stuff from his earlier novels.
  Matter of fact, I bought Mein Kampf years ago in Europe.  There was a time when it was suggested  reading in the army.  I still have it.

What is also interesting is how the Ideas of the Nazi party are right in line with the Democrate's ideas here in the U.S. , You know like they are both socialist, they both believe in killing innocent people ( ie. Babies & jews ), They both believe in government control, They are both hypocrites, etc...

Hell, they are all hypocrites.  The democrats, republicans, liberals.......bought nand paid for.
 
I think I am a jeffersonian constitutionalist, or maybe a left/right wing subversive.  One thing for sure, if your last name is not the same as mine, then you are bad, lol

Yes and she also forgot my Lithium and Haldol. I need my thorazine. I can feel the hair standing on the back of my neck. Oh no, goose bumps I better get into my straight jacket before my eyes start to roll back into my head :-o

Scary response. In case nobody knows, his wife is a chemist. :-D

Currently reading a bunch of graphic novels. I'll get around to reading a mystery novel eventually. I found a half-read one written by Nora Roberts in my room the other day. :-D

Been filling the need for humorous, fantasy, mystery books by re-reading some of my Thraxas novels. Those books never get old. :-D
