Comments (20)I too enjoyed Schieffer's "This Just In". Some of his "in the right place at the right time" experiences, as with the Kennedy assassination, were quite interesting. I recently read "Twelve Years a Slave" and found it incredibly moving. It should be required reading for all school kids, maybe at the middle school level. (the Frederick Douglass book was widely used at one time, this one delivers the necessary punch concerning racism without the unneeded baggage that Douglass brings). The story is known because of the movie, the tale (among other things) graphically describes the treatment and lives of slaves in 1840s Louisiana. It was gut wrenching and incredibly sad, but the story needs to be told again and again. The books is so old that it's in the public domain. Free or very cheap ebook and audio book versions are available....See MoreWhat is everyone reading?
Comments (29)Just finished The daughters of Juarez by Teresa Rodriguez - true crime story of serial murder in Mexico - reccommended by a book buddy of mine and most interesting, I'm now almost finished another of a series of books written Jane Austen style (if you like Jane A., try one of the books written by Elizabeth Aston). The one I'm almost done is called "The Darcy Connection". I've enjoyed Aston's books and would say give them a try for anyone else who loves Austen. Then also in the process of reading pile are: Consuelo and Alva Vanderbilt by Amanda Stuart (an interesting read thus far), King, Kaiser, Tsar by Catrine Clay (another bio but a good rendering of the triangle between these powerful cousins)and finally just began "All the way Home" by David Giffels - I don't know what attracted me to this book, maybe the love of rebuilding falling down old houses and all the trials and problems solved with great industry and little expense. I formally only read one book at a time but now I find I have several on the go at all times just so I have a choice of what I'm in the mood for reading. DH who is a somewhat more picky reader finished "A spy at the heart of the third reich" by Lucas Delattre last night and said it was interesting but rather long winded in parts. Like most of you, I have a pile of reading to wade through and yet more books on request at the local library......so many books so little time - the story of my life.

Comments (20)Just this morning I finished Blue Heaven by C.J. Box. It was most excellent. Think...modern-day cowboys in north Idaho; good guys doing bad things; bad guys trying to do good things; and bad guys being evil. A damsel or two in distress (but not the simpering 'oh pityful me' type damsels). Fallen heros. Tears. I have it in my iPod; it was iTunes "audiobook of the month" a few months back. I had downloaded it but just now got around to listening to it. I'll be 'reading' it again, too. Like several posters above, I thoroughly love the series with/about Jack Reacher, Charlaine Harris, Janet Evanovich, Anne Perry, (the WWI series) and M.C. Beaton (both the Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth series). Becoming Marie Antoinette is next on my list...unless I get pulled in by something else, LOL! Desolate Angel sounds good, too; thanks for the head's up. I so appreciate the monthly "reading" posts. I've read so many interesting books after learning about them here....See MoreHareball
