was written by Conn and his brother Hal. It was published in the UK in June 2006, and reached number one in the UK non-fiction charts several times selling over half a million copies. I only brought this up because I think it sounds like a most marvelous book. It's a how-to for things like building go-carts and slingshots, tying knots and identifying fossils. Just reading the chapter names evokes back to simpler and happier times. I think anyone with kids or is a kid at heart should definitely get this book. Take a look:

I have grandkids that enjoy reading, so thanks for the suggestion.

"Rabbit, Run"

The entire trilogy is great.

I'm reading Douglas Clegg's The Infinite. I don't know where it's going yet, but he has a kind of eclectic style.

I luvs me some haunted mansion stories so I will definitely be on the lookout for this one. Thanks.

Thanks for the thread, Hermetic. These were the first two of this series which I read. Since we also have two Siamese cats, I was curious. They were entertaining, and the idea of the cats "helping" to solve the mysteries was unique. I might read more of the series another time.

I will read some as well. Meanwhile, here's my little detective agency...



Sami says, "Hey."

Your meezer looks a lot like our old chocolate point, Alexander. Ours say, "Hey" back.

It involves a pair of kids who come across a mysterious object and embark on a trip to escape some bad guys who want it badly. They have encountered a pair of men and a woman who are determined to keep them safe. It appears to be set in the pre automobile era and mostl likely in England.
