I just finished Executive Hoodlum by John Costello.

The book is based on the author's autobiography. The well-known account of someone who faces much hardship in life to finally achieve a successful life. What makes this book so unique is the author's propensity for simplicity while writing. A good read for those who are fond of well scrutinized success stories.

I just finished The Boron Letter by Gary C. Halbert. I give it 5 star. Gary touched more than the art of copywriting in his book.

Morality Play by Barry Unsworth (Man Booker Shortlist 1995) is one of those stories that just creep up on you quietly until you realise you are completely in its thrall.

Nicholas Barber, a lapsed monk who absents himself from his Order without permission, stumbles across a band of travelling players on the road who have just lost one of their troupe, Brendan, to death by natural causes. The players take Nicholas into their party to maintain their number at six, required to stage their humble plays.

They enter a town to ensure Brendan is buried properly and to earn a few pence to refresh their dwindling resources. They soon learn that there has been a recent death of a young boy in the town, and that a young woman has been convicted of the murder.

Having earned scarce reward from staging one of their regular morality plays, barely covering costs, the troupe decides to perform to the townspeople a play about the murder of the boy, Thomas Wells.

The initial performance is based upon the accepted facts, but the players quickly suspect there is more to this story. By judicious questioning of local folk, including the accused young woman, they arrive at, and present, a version that is closer to the real truth about the murder of Thomas Wells.

Unsworth builds the tension slowly and quietly, using the characters of the troupe and their improvised words and actions to reveal a dark and sinister secret, a tale of power and abuse that abounds in the small rural English town.

The writing is clever and the novel is beautifully constructed, maintaining a medieval atmosphere while revealing a murder that has timeless overtones.

I just finished rereading a book that is the third in a series of eleven. I give it a five out of five for all of the books! It's the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. A half vampire hunts down full vampires to avenge her mother's rape which led to her birth. On her mission she meets Bones, a bounty hunter who is also a vampire.

This book has amazing humor, flawless characters and a plot that keeps you gripped until the end. Definitely not for the faint of heart though. Steamy scenes, gore and cursing are in it so adults only.

The last book I read was "Fort Whiskey" by David Banks. It was an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys westerns or historical fiction. The story was good and the end wasn't predictable. Also, the characters were believable. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

I read Who Told You That You Were Naked? I gave a 3 out of 4 star rating.

It was informative, deep, and opens up a wide variety of discussion questions into the book of Genesis in the Bible.
