I've been told I look like Patricia Cornwell. (but I'm not into her books)

I just finished "History of the world in six glasses" but can't remember the author. (looks at history based on beer, wine, liquor, tea, coffee, and Coca Cola)

Tried tried tried to read "Covering, the hidden assault on our civil rights" (I think that's the title) but it just got tedious.

I was reading a Suze Orman book, "Money Secrets" or something like that. It's in a pile of stuff somewhere. I need to finish it before the library comes a'calling...

Now, for gazing at author pictures I'll take Cornwell or Nevada Barr over Orman any day!
