Martin 6 Mattituck-Laurel Library Spring 2016 Bev’s Book Beat “Reading . . . a vacation for the mind . . .” – Dave Barry Dave Barry’s quote is one I agree with heartily. When I pick up a book to read, I can’t wait to find out where it’s going to take me. Since I don’t plan on going there myself, I loved going to Mars in Andy Weir’s The Martian. The research Weir did was right on according to NASA; how Mark Watney survived being “King” of Mars using his background as a botanist was amazing. James Lee Burke’s first book, In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead introduced me to Detective Dave Robicheaux of New Iberia, Louisiana. The title really got my attention and I have been a fan of Burke ever since. This is a good read if you enjoy murder mysteries set in the South. Louise Penny took me to Three Pines, Canada, in her Gamache series, Still Life. There I got to hang out with Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and a group of marvelous characters. As much as I would like to live in Three Pines, in that town, you end up either a murder suspect, the murder victim, or a murderer. The Gabriel Allon series, by Daniel Silva, is one of my favorite series. It began with The Kill Artist and has continued with his latest book, The English Spy. I love “tagging” along with Allon, and his group of spies–both international and his own personal group from Israel–as we travel the world putting a stop to terrorism and crime. When I read The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brow, the history was wonderful, from how a boat was made to all the grit and rigor of collegiate crew rowing. I never realized how much it took to crew on a boat. This was a multi-level biography of the eight boys, from the University of Washington, who were on the Olympic team that won the gold in Berlin. Even though you know the outcome, you find yourself cheering them on. Alison Weir does great British history, both fiction and non-fiction. Mistress of the Monarchy: The Life of Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster is one of my favorites. The course of English history might have been very different without Lady Katherine. Thanks to events during her time, her descendants would end up on the throne of England. If you love British history, pick up any book by Weir and take a trip back in time. Like science fiction? Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series are fun. Beginning with Storm Front, we meet Harry Dresden who is a private detective and a professional wizard in Chicago. When black magic, strange disappearances, and horrific murders occur the police always turn to Harry. Since Harry is a wizard, you can only imagine who, or what, helps him out in his investigations. Give your mind a “vacation” by losing yourself in another time, country or sphere. Your passport is the pages of a good book. Enjoy! Happy Reading!
