NonFiction
Paddling Southern Wisconsin: 85 great trips by canoe and kayak by Mike Svob. I have a rowboat but no oars. I really need to get some oars for that thing.
Milan and the Lakes by DK Eyewitness Travel. Anthony Neil Smith went to Italy on some sort of book tour. He posted a link to photos but I'm not going to look the address up for you.
Fiction
Flashback by Dan Simmons. Guy gets addicted to new drug. Has trouble working.
Thunder of Heaven: a Joshua Jordan novel by Tim L. LaHaye. Another novel about the apocalypse. Apocalypse is difficult to type and spell.
Sarah Court by Craig Davidson. Why did I buy this? Was the book recommended? Well reviewed? Ohhh, this is that Canadian guy. I like his books. Story: five families living next to one another: How well do you know your neighbors? How well do you know your own family? Ultimately, how well do you know yourself?
White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick. A horror novel that looks like it should be in the YA section.
Silent Girl by Tess Gerritsen. Gerritsen seems like a nice lady but I still won't read this.
Brute Strength by Susan Conant. "A Dog Lover's Mystery" The cover illustration of a dog makes this look like a chapter book.
Escape by Barbara Delinsky. Young, lady lawyer has career and family ennui induced crisis. Skips work early, leaves Manhattan, goes to New Hampshire where she spent a summer during college.
A Dark and Stormy Night by Jeanne M. Dams. Beagle status unknown.
Betrayal of Trust by J.A. Jance. I'll bet someone gets betrayed.
Undead and Undermined by Mary Janice Davidson. I read a book about the underground war during World War One. The Limeys would dig deep under the Kraut lines to listen, defend against enemy mines, and plants tons of explosives. The miners would always want to dig lower than the enemy. That was undermining.
Wild Hog Murders by The Great and Marvelous Bill Crider, Chronicler of Crocodiles, Recorder of Rhodes, Paramour of Paris. Sheriff Rhodes of Blacklin County, Texas has the usual trouble of idiots, dead bodies, feral hogs, motorcycle gangsters, county commissioners, etc. What is the death rate in Blacklin County?

Death rate very high for a small county; you wouldn't want to move there.
I want to read FLASHBACK. I have it on reserve at the library here.
The Admiral of Alvin has spoken! Praise to paperbacks!
