Pace Myself
I love Charles Martin's books. His latest one came out on June 1st. I had pre-ordered it so I didn't get it in the mail until this past weekend. I have been reading it quicker than I would like; I know I'll be sad when its over. Then, what will I read? I've read all of his other books, already. The one I am reading right now, The Mountain Between Us, is so good that I want to stay up at night to read, and I don't want to get off of the bus in the morning to go to work because I want to keep reading.
I love his books because they aren't limited to a sappy-girl audience (like Nicholas Sparks'). I think guys (who like to read) would enjoy his books. Specifically, I think they would like this one. It's about survival (think Survivor Man in a book), love, family, friendship, and life. The characters in Charles Martin's books are always so real to me. I find myself thinking about them weeks after I've finished a book.
I'm off to go read again. But not too much. I want the book to get me through the week.

Update: I sat down to read and the book mark never made it back to the book. I couldn't help but finish it tonight.

I've read most of them and found that his portrayal of flawed guys and the women who love them really strikes a chord with me.
"Mountain" is no exception.

It's such a joy to see that guys enjoy Martin's books--but then again, why wouldn't you?
