Tipping Point is on of the most fascinating books I've read. Ideas from it come back to me all the time, and really affect how I think about things. Have you seen Christine Falls by Benjamin Black? I can't promise an emotionally satisfying payoff, because I'm only half way through. But so far it's very good. And for quick, fun reads, that lean quite a bit toward the absurd, there's the three books in The Pirates series by Gideon DeFoe...there's nothing deep in these stories, but they are *so* much fun to read. Happy Homecoming Day!

I suspect I'd be depressed by the average score, though. Or maybe not--maybe only the people who are confident of their knowledge are taking the test? I got 100% too.

I'm a mystery person, but very specific tastes. Nothing too popular, mind. Have you read anything by Henning Mankell? I love him, and they're more atmospheric, not scary (he's a Swede) and the syntax is soo interesting. Hmm, nuthin to read! I’m a mystery person, but very specific tastes. Nothing too popular, mind.
