Christy's comments from the What can you tell me about....? group.

I love well written nonfiction!

Two recommendations:

Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger -

You don't have to be a football fan to like this book. Bissinger goes into all the cultural context for a town that lives for its football team.

There Is No Me Without You by Melissa Fay Greene -

This book was the best book I read last year. It's about an Ethiopian woman who provided a haven for AIDS orphans. Greene uses that as the main story but spins off chapters that provide context.

I've read only 2 1/2 Dickens, but here are my thoughts anyway. I did not like David Copperfield, but I loved loved Bleak House.

I started Tale of Two Cities but then had to return it to the library before I finished as I was moving away.
