A lazy day at the beach or the pool calls for a good book. What works better than a mystery? A little suspense and no longer are you sitting next to the pool keeping an eye on your children or just working on your tan at a crowded beach.

Pirate Latitudes
May 18th, 2010 by Ronald A. Rowe | Authors, Fiction, New Releases
Michael Crichton is back! Well, figuratively speaking. He's still dead, sadly. But a manuscript discovered among his papers and published posthumously has washed the taste of Next out of my mouth and reminded me why he was my favorite contemporary author.
Crichton's final book, Pirate Latitudes, is a light, fun romp of a book. For his final novel, Crichton abandoned his penchant for futurism and went old school. Really old school. 17th century old school.
Pirate Latitudes chronicles the adventures of Captain Hunter and his crew of privateers (don't call them pirates) in 1660s British colony

Chuck Palahniuk knows how to get an audience to blow up. Held at the South Church behind the bookstore, after uttering an expletive while at the podium addressing the crowd Chuck said, “Well, I just said [expletive] in a church, it’s not going to get any better.” Known for Fight Club, Choke, Survivor and Invisible Monsters, this was the first night of his tour.
On tour promoting his newest book, Tell All, it could be considered this generation’s Valley of the Dolls for TMZ fanatics. The book uses Hollywood as a backdrop; Chuck threw inflatable Oscar statues in the crowd.
