I need a good book, well-written, thoughtful, engaging, with a bit of mystery to it and perhaps some ghosts - but not a la M.R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu. And it needs to be on Kindle as I seek immediate gratification. Any thoughts. I am desperate. I have read nothing but junk for almost a year.

I have sixteen goats including four new goat kids and four more does expecting. And I am training a very young puppy who is destined to be a herd dog. So not junk, but not too heavy either.

Also more company on the way. I have had almost a month of house guests (not the same ones) since 2013 began (it is 2013 isn't it?). A party tonight at my house and I am not feeling up to it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Ur do something like this once a year, post something that requires suggestions that are never good enough? What does it all mean?

Rick dearest,
It means I am tired, exasperated, and desperately want you and your family to come to Tennessee. Company I really want :-) And I really could use a good book. I need to be jerked out of the mindless tedium of junk reading back into good reading.

Good, as long as it means your not over-goated.
Our opportunity to visit this year has passed. Money. But I actually have mentioned the trip to my ex-wife in Chattanooga...so we ARE coming.

Does it have to be on Earth? If not, Terry Pratchett's books might work. I don't remember any ghosts but there is often a crime story in them, and who needs ghosts when you can have DEATH as a character?

That scene is a classic of French cinema.
