So it is with great grief to millions of those readers I have to say that they no longer have to predict his next culprit. “Sidney Sheldon died Tuesday afternoon of complications from pneumonia at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage [MSNBC]. The protagonist of his stories were always women caught in dire circumstances and succeed beyond all expectations in the sexist world of men in their lives. When asked about the recurrent theme of women power against all odds, he said: “I like to write about women who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power — their femininity, because men can’t do without it.” Critically acclaimed or not, he certainly enjoyed tremendous popularity and was bestowed with many awards. He was also the creator of the Emmy-winning “I Dream of Jeannie” TV series.
So dare I ask, which was your favorite Sheldon novel?

Since you ask, it is his first one “The Naked face”, all others have blurred into one by now. What’s yours?

Curiouscat, I read Naked Face much later and had virtually guessed by the time I was halfway thru. Oops! I guess I forgot to mention mine. Well, I guess I can admit to liking Windmills of the Gods. The MSNBC article quoted above mistakenly calls it Windmills of the Mind.

Master of the Game. I love generation stories. And yes, I’ve read ALL of his books too! *sheepish grin*

Sampada, et tu? I thought you were one of those lit types who hated Sheldon. What are doing reading stuff that we lowly mortals read? :)
