Boring
No exciting post today because I spent last night getting back into my study.
Well, that and I had to finish the Deaver book. Can anyone recommend another good detectivey author?
And what are you reading at the moment?

Cortonet really likes books by Henkell Manning (hope that's right). Coronet will hopefully jump in if it's wrong. He told the librarians at Waiheke how much he liked the books and they all started reading them too.
Close mum, it looks like his name is Henning Mankell!
Well I was reasonably close. It's a hard name to remember.
neugeblogger have you gone off Kay Scarpetta!!
Have I ever, Westside.
I got so annoyed with one of the Scarpetta books that I almost ripped out a whole section to send back to Patricia Cornwall because it was such a load of blankety-blank. Honestly, if I have to hear about Kay Scarpetta making one more pasta dish with her damn parma ham I will internally combust.
Did you read the one where the killer was one loose, she knew he was looking for her, but she still opened the front door?!? Huh?
"one loose"? See how aggitated I got? I meant "on the loose".
No, I'm into Jeffrey Deaver now. He wrote The Bone Collector.
Aggitated Neugeblogger? Do you mean agitated?
Yes, yes.
Actually Neugeblogger think I went off Scarpetta over that door opening too. But I did like her recipes.
They have a library on Waiheke?
hmmm... just posted a comment but it's not showing, so I'll post it again! I can thoroughly recommend Denise Mina's gritty Glaswegian crime novels - they are 'read me in one sitting' good! and they are all in the library :)
Wonder whose blog Mel's original comment ended up in?
And yes Dierdre we also have a supermarket, 3 gas stations, even a WINZ office and no doubt there's a brothel somewhere as well
So Waiheke really is just a suburb of Auckand?
Fighting words anonymous! I suspect you are someone else hiding in anonymity!
Mel
Are you selling any of your beautiful stuff?
Different Mel, mum.
David Baldacci writes slightly more sedate mysteries, and although they may be a bit slow for our naughty neugeblogger, they are rather a good read!
Hi dierdre
Waiheke is a branch library of Auckland and as such any book anywhere in the system can be ordered in over the internet at a cost of a buck. Any book anywhere in the library system in New Zealand can be ordered in for five bucks.
The library also has a great digital resource connecting to OED, Britannica, Biographies, etc. which are accessible from home.
So we can be erudite on Waiheke.
Waiheke also has a brothel aka Council Chambers.

Inter-library loans...now that would be an exciting job, wouldn't it Dierdre?
Blimey! The things they get up to on Waiheke! and reading as well. Not sure who anonymous is but thanks for all that detail on interloans. Angela will be having a little chuckle right now coz she knows my occupation.
I've just read a Bill Bryson - Thunderbolt kid.
LOVE Bill Bryson.
Neugelogger should note it is the books that become the inter-library loans – not the librarians.
