Quote of the day:
A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us. -Franz Kafka
I continue with the 5th book in the series by Jeffrey Archer, the Clifton Chronicles. You can see my review of the first, second, third, and fourth titles in the series. Mightier than the sword is a recent publication, and the 6th installment may likely be out in early 2016.
image: Amazon
The book starts off by re staging the final cliffhanger moments from the previous book. Archer is a brilliant story teller, and he sure knows how to keep the suspense going. Mightier than the Sword is no different, with the spell bounding story of the Clifton and Barrington family, their sworn enemies and the plot that spans across different cities.
What books are you reading? Happy September!
Peace & Love.

All the best Jan
Always great when the suspense keeps going
ReplyDeleteI know the author but never read any of his books.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading one of blogger buddy Heather Gardner's books.

ReplyDeleteJust started "The Truth According to Us" a new book by Anne Barrows who wrote "The Guernsey Literary Society."
ReplyDeleteI am reading the third book in this series! Each book so far has been very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThe Kafka quote is the kind of book I need to read.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I wish I was brilliant at storytelling. I will give this book a try. It's like something I would read!

DeleteAs usual, I am parallel-reading: One book on my kindle for the travels to and from work ("Mary Anerley - A Yorkshire Tale", first published in 1880), and a physical book at night in my bed, a work of non-fiction: "Does Anything Eat Wasps?". Both will of course be reviewd on my blog once I have finished them.
ReplyDeleteThe Spinoza Problem by Irvin D. Yalom (followed by the free to read short story on his website).
ReplyDeleteThanks friend :D
ReplyDeleteSeems to be a perfect book :D

ReplyDeleteno novels for now.... just academic books
ReplyDeletethe MAD WOMAN that lived on my street
You've wet my appetite. I'll have to check out Archer. Heard of him but never picked up one of his books.

Seems interesting :-) I love history books,especially about ancient Rome <3
ReplyDeleteNot an author I've ever read but given his popularity probably should.
ReplyDeletePS I dropped by in part today to tell you about a post on my blog I thought you as a lover of poetry might enjoy.
ReplyDeletehttp://pettywitter.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/introducing-poetry-slam-champion-scott.html
Nice!! Seems like a great book :D will check it out :D
ReplyDeleteHappy September :D
I love historical fiction and you speak so highly of this series, I feel I should look into it more closely.
ReplyDeleteI've just begun a Dean Koontz book... The City.
Good for you. I honestly cannot read a series with more than 3 or 4 books in it. I just lose interest. I'm strongly considering reading Harper Lee's controversial "To Set a Watchman..." but I still have issues with the whole thing being a money grab. So I'm torn.
ReplyDeleteI am still reading Kellerman's 'Therapy'. Soon be finished though and I can move on.
ReplyDeleteI have never read a book by him
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Clifton Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've really enjoyed this series.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, I was looking for some new books to read. Definitely adding this one to the list :) x

Love that Kafka quote.
ReplyDeleteI need to go back to this series. I am pretty sure I started it but I definitely did not get this far.
Still resonating with Andrea Gibson and reading through her poetry again and again. And some of the Deadman poetry series.
I love it when you find a series/author you love. I've found so many over the years that I can't keep up. Of course I stick to mostly YA and MG titles, so my recommendations are for younger readers. =)

Thanks for the tip! Seems to be a good read.
ReplyDeleteRight now im currently reading this book entitled " the rougues game". It's about a man who went in chicago to play poker with extra hidden agenda, havent there yet but sure that the book's gonna be exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog! :) This series of book sounds really interesting. This post reminded me that I have to make some time to read something new, I don't like the idea of spending too much time without reading.

U seem to be a true Jeffery Archer fan! I read two of his works and they were nice! I have a collection of all his best short stories, a very thick book but it is still unread :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the lovely quote by Kafka :)
Cheers!!
I am reading 'Leaves of Grass' by Walt Whitman this month :)
DeleteI read an Archer book long, long ago. Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less. I think it was one of his firsts and not the most popular. I've never forgotten it though.
ReplyDeleteReading sharp objects Gillian Flynn! She's amazing :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy September! I'm a fan of spellbinding stories. Right now I'm reading Silence of the Lambs again. I know...
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I didn't know about these books.Right now I'm reading Around the World in Eighty Days, in French!
