Oh how I love talking about books. When I meet someone who doesn't enjoy reading, I have to try really hard to like them. I am so happy that you had The Scarlet Letter on your list. That is for sure on my top ten. The old school movie is pretty good too (but only if you have read the book first). I liked Freakonomics and Angela's Ahses too. I will have to check out your other suggestions, especially that cookbook one. I would also add Secret Life of Bees to the list. I LOVED it. Some others I recently finished are: <BR/>Small is the New Big By Seth Godin, Hold on to your Kids By G.Neufeld, The Infinite Atonement By Tad R. Callister, and <BR/>Jane Austen 'A Life' By Carol Shields.<BR/>Thank you for the book discussion. Its always nice to hear about what other people are reading.The Eatonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464860402301930940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-85961554126294318512007-11-14T19:59:00.000-08:002007-11-14T19:59:00.000-08:00I just started a book called "Noisy Outlaws, Unfri...I just started a book called "Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some things That aren't as Scary, Maybe, Depending on How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray Cellphones, Creatures from the Sky, Parents who disappear in Peru, a Man Names Lars Farf, and One Other Story we Couldn't Quite Finish, So Maybe You Could Help Us Out." Whew! That is quite a title, for quite a book of really clever short stories published by McSweeny's. <BR/><BR/>Also, ditto on Charla's The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. I think you would love it. And love the Kite Runner (if you can get passed the really depressing beginning).suvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324711927133880025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-57579266504968192722007-11-14T13:59:00.000-08:002007-11-14T13:59:00.000-08:00Peter wants me to tell you that the new Fabio-insp...Peter wants me to tell you that the new Fabio-inspired Harlequin is de-lish!charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181241184056791132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-36663206811965258742007-11-14T07:16:00.000-08:002007-11-14T07:16:00.000-08:00you READ? when? you're never home!I'm (still!) rea...you READ? when? you're never home!<BR/><BR/>I'm (still!) reading American Sucker by David Denby--one of my favorite writers. He's one of the film critics for the New Yorker, and he's oh-so intelligent.<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite books is The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down.<BR/><BR/>We're just about to read The Golden Compass, too! It's especially exciting after all the neo-conservative hype about the author's alleged pov's.<BR/><BR/>And I have to say that we CANNOT get through the 1st Twilight book.. It makes me nauseated and it's dripping with ultra-cheese.charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181241184056791132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-5488210053776313582007-11-14T02:19:00.000-08:002007-11-14T02:19:00.000-08:00Matisee, I'll find out as soon as he comes home.

I can't wait to send photos.<BR/><BR/>Carol and Emily, I was never really into reading like some of my sisters growing up. I'd read books here and there and for school but wanting to read more is really a new thing and I'm happy about it but, I'm not a smarty pants AT ALL! I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do.Cammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914443255616731729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-41157856775571118052007-11-14T02:17:00.000-08:002007-11-14T02:17:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914443255616731729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19787657.post-2076820116106602822007-11-13T22:36:00.000-08:002007-11-13T22:36:00.000-08:00I recently read "The Great Gatsby" At first you th...I recently read "The Great Gatsby" At first you think it is all about bootlegging and money, and then you finally realize, "This is the great American Novel". I also love Hemmingway. "For whom the Bell Tolls", and "A Farewell to Arms" are so moving, especially for an American living in Europe. <BR/>Does your husband have an recommendations for a good novel on the subject of Buddhism?

It has a lot of journal entries from men who fought in the war and it's just incredible how they were willing to sacrafice everything for future generations.<BR/><BR/>I normally don't recommend fiction but there's a YA trilogy of books out by an LDS author that is all the rage in CA right now. It Twilight by Stephanie Meyers. A quick and easy read.<BR/><BR/>I read a lot.
