For those who are over at Goodreads, here's an interesting group - Books I Loathed.

lol, sounds right up your alley, I'm surprised you didn't write a wall-banger discussion.

I did start a Wall Banger list there though. What's fun at goodreads is anyone can add their own books to your list.

One of my favorite features is the home page that shows you what your friends are reading and/or adding to the list and that you can comment as well.

Uggghhh. I have to add 'The Serpent Garden' by J. Merkley. Hugely disappointing for me.

Hi Nona.....It read like a bad TV script....Concept..... A TV Host is visiting Rosslyn Chapel for a TV show and slips back to 1305 and lo and behold he is a Templar Initiate....Huh?....So weak....Doesn't come close to Michael Crichton's "Timeline" and I thought that was a stretch.....The "Timeline" film; a made for TV movie was dreadful.....Have a good weekend....

I read a time slip once where the hero - an accountant (!!!) - was whisked by to Scotland and lo and behold he can wield a sword like he was born to it. For those of you who have worked with accounts and know the way they have to analyze everything on paper with the debit and credit "t's" on the legal pad you know what I'm talking about..... (it was fairly entertaining, one just had to suspend some disbelief).
