The Cobra by Frederick Forsyth. Remember that awful Stallone movie? No the other one. No, the one entitled Cobra. Yeah, that one.
Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs. I always wanted to enjoy and read these books ever since I first read they were partly set in Montreal (see my previous blather). I tried reading the first in the series, Deja Dead, but I read something that made me shut the book and never return.
NonFiction
Islands of Genius: the bountiful mind of the autistic, acquired, and sudden savant by Darold A. Treffert. There are a number of autistic kids in the Lake Mills area. Or, at least all the families that do have autistic kids use the library and check out books on the topic. This book covers the phenomena of savants and the different people it effects, including some autistics.
