![]() And here’s the thing – I could read one of those books in like, two days. Besides, Nick at Nite was a thing and I was really into I Dream of Jeannie (created by Sidney Sheldon!).īy the time I was a sophomore in college, and I had read every book by Sidney Sheldon my mother owned. And I was looking to add … more sex to my violence, as I’m fond of saying.Īnd since Mom was the one who introduced me to Dick Francis and Sue Grafton and John Grisham, she really couldn’t tell me I wasn’t allowed to read Sidney Sheldon’s stuff. By the time I was in high school, I had pretty much read all of the John Grisham novels published thus far, as well as the Kinsey Millhone series and most of Dick Francis’s stuff. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mom has pretty much the entire Sidney Sheldon… collection, for lack of a better phrase? He didn’t really write series – his books are like, stand-alone soap opera-esque epics that cover a woman’s life and the crazy antics she and her lovers get into, and also sometimes murder. So instead of the library, I went to my mom’s house and borrowed a couple of her Sidney Sheldon books. Fool me once, shame on you, and all that. But I also wanted a known quantity – I really didn’t feel like taking a chance on an author I’d never read before. But when I was ready to read something again, I was still in the mood for schmaltz. ![]() After Up Close And Dangerous left such a ragey flavor in my mouth, I didn’t read anything for like, a week. ![]()
