and I of course will read it.. and I also would give Stephen Kings 11/22/63 book a thumbs up...and for anyone who tried to make it through the Le Morte d' Arthur and couldn't a more modern version by Peter Ackroyd isn't bad..it is at least not as tedious...

Just finished the Dove Keepers by Alice Hoffman and it was a good read...story of 4 women who all end up at Masada during the Jewish wars...

thanks for these, nancy and margaret! i love hearing what you guys are reading and so do other folks!  stephen never seems to be able to write a bad book, right? ;-) as for matt ruff, i would think that would be a difficult topic to write about!

I finished up 11/22/63 by Stephen King and give it a thumbs up.  It was a BIG book, though, and made me wish I had a kindle.

I am currently reading "Set This House In Order" by Matt Ruff.  It is a very interesting fictional, first person story about a person with multiple personality disorder.  Very intriguing.

Haven't been on here for a bit...8 books in between that time and I think I am beginning to see why my Mom used to do the "get your nose out of that book " speech in my direction...just started the last in the Wicked series " Out of Oz" and so far so good...way back in November the one I was reading "Hello I must be going" ended up being pretty depressing ....

I'm reading The Warmth of Other Suns:  The Epic Story of America's Great Migration, by Isabel Wilkerson.  Alice Walker recommended it.  It's a historical look at the decades long migration of black citizens out of the south.  Very eye-opening and heart-wrenching for this southern white girl.  A must read.  I'm also reading The Uncommon Path:  Awakening Authentic Joy, by Mick Quinn.  Challenging and interesting.  I'm about half through both books.
