Fatal Voyage

I've recently set about reading a new author called Kathy Reichs. I've finished the following books by her:
Deja Dead
Death Du Jour
Deadly Decisions
Fatal Voyage

She's a forensic anthropologist and she's awesome. Apart from solving intricately difficult crimes, she's independent and free thinking.
I read Fatal Voyage when I was in Tobago. Yes, it may seem a bit wierd that I'm reading a book which is based on a plane crash while on vacation to a holiday resort, but c'est moi! I have always loved a good mystery.
What is it about mysteries though that intrigue us? Obviously the fact that we're always curious about the unknown - but so much is unknown. They say ignorance is bliss, but then, aren't we always checking up on facts and trying to figure out what choices are better or worse? Doesn't that make it like a mystery we're trying to solve?
One mystery I can't figure out is why people don't read more. I'm not being facetious but it's true. There is so much out there people!! And one great thing is that you can read about practically everything, it's now become at the touch of a button, there are bookstores that cater to all pockets.......... :) So let's read up more on the mysteries of the world!!
