I most recently read "Midwives" for my book club. You maybe would like it, but I don't know. We'll have to talk about it and see
I've been reading Twilight. Maybe you should join me. We can talk about the story and how dreamy Edward is.
twilight is the demise to our society haha. Whats American Gospel about? I've been wanting to read "Brave New World" but haven't found the time.
How is "Zero"? The Japanese author caught my eye.
I've been reading Inca Gold again by Clive Cussler...I wish I could write as well as he does.
I also just started The Bourne Identity. I was only researching writing style but have found it to be very 'I can't put it down'.
I like "The Complete Dog Book" by the American Kennel Club.
I don't think I am too interested in 'Midwives', or 'Twilight', no offense.
'American Gospel' is a treatise about faith and religious beliefs of our forefathers and how it has shaped our Country, Constitution, etc. I will let you know how it is when I get in to it a little deeper. I'll have to check out 'Brave New World".
'Zero' is by an early Japanese fighter pilot that survived the war. It is interesting to read about the war from the “enemy's” point of view, though his minimization of the China atrocities was unfortunate. I guess prejudices hang around even after the war is lost thirty years later (the book was written in the 70’s). I am almost finished with it, again, a pretty interesting read, and fairly well written.
‘Inca Gold’ is on my top ten fiction lists. Cussler is a very skilled author.
Chico, that is also one of our family favorites.
