New Review: Jeffrey Archer's Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
January 6, 2003 (9:22 PM) ( link )

ADDED a review of Jeffrey Archer's Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less.

Inspired by Archer's caper novel, I think I'm going to track down a copy of Michael Crichton's The Great Train Robbery, as well as the film, The Sting. It might also be worth it to see Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, though I don't know how well that film represents the genre.

At the moment, though, I'm going to risk Guy Gavriel Kay again (despite his atrocious The Fionavar Tapestry) and read Tigana, one of his most famous novels. If that's good, then I'll probably also read his The Lions of Al-Rassan some time soon, and then give him up for good (the rest of his novels are supposed to be ok--and I think I deserve better after slogging through his first horrid trilogy).

My recent reading has left my Books I Plan to Read page sadly depleted. At some point I'll look at online "must-read" lists and the public library's stacks to see if I can compile a few more titles to put up.

Of course, I could also study for my finals.
