What thriller authors are saying...

All Things Considered on NPR is running a new series called "Thrilled to Death," where established thriller authors are coming on the air to talk about books they love.  Scott Turow was recently interviewed, and do you know what he chose to talk about?  The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene, a book I read a long time ago but often thought I'd like to read again.  Another Greene title I'd like to read is The Quiet American.  I saw the movie starring Michael Caine - which I enjoyed - but reading the book will be a different experience, I'm sure.  The NPR series should be an interesting glimpse into the reading tastes of some of our favorite authors.
