I checked this book out on tape from the library. I thought it was a fun read. It was a great surprise to find another just for fun writer to enjoy once in awhile. I have read all the Fannie Flaggs and the Mave Binchy and the Rosamonde Pilcher they have at the library. Suggestions anyone?
I also just finished reading Woodrow Wilson by Louis Auchincloss. The other things I have read by this author, have been short stories and he continues to be brief here so if you just want a really quick overview of this president, this may be the book for you. I am still thinking about a point where the author says that our two most famous/ popular presidents took opposite views on self-determination. Interesting thought. Is this just a given, my gut wants to fight about it. :)

have you tried lorna landvik? my mom also liked the memory keeper's daughter recently, I haven't tried it yet.
Thanks Michelle, I knew you'd know someone! :)
I never make time to read these days. I guess I read all the time during school, but as far as personal reading, I'd really like to step it up a notch! Say something to motivate me to finish The House of Seven Gables. It's on my desk and I just stare at it, along with The Book of Mormon every night and say, "tomorrow I'll start reading."
I say get some books on tape boo, something fun that you can listen to while you do laundry or clean and forget about reading the serious stuff, just for the holidays! Be serious in January. I had planned to read some heavier stuff and I went to the library last night and checked out all the Christmas stories they had instead. :)
