Start with Skinny Dip. from goodreads.com " Skinny Dip is full of quirky characters (such as Tool, the bodyguard with a bullet lodged in the crack of his [censored] and a penchant for collecting roadside crosses" ... umm thanks but not my style.. which reminds me, does anyone have an opinion on Mario Puzo-specifically The Last Don?

If you want dark and deep...Dennis Lehanne. When I'm on vacation, I put away all the work related readings and go for the "beach trash". Mind numbing, but entertaining! Just what a vacation should be! (Loved Skinny Dip. Hated the movie.)

jerber160 said: oh well.. it's down to the wire and too late to buy anything.. I DID email the island to ask where the bookstores are but got no response..... I'm guessing there's one in philipsburg. (got to keep to the dutch side as the other side will sell books written in french, no? at least they used to!) HOWEVER I could use some new ties too and the french side is good for that so I'm open to suggestions... but they have to be short -people ties... a concept I had trouble getting across the last time I tie-shopped on sxm. How about Kindle, iPad, iPhone, or any reading device? I have not read a paper book in years.
