          <body><![CDATA[I picked Never Let Me Go up at the airport on the way back from Hawaii over Spring Break and just finished it last week.  I loved it and hated it at various times.  There's so much there about life, death, meaning and prejudice; I can see why you're rereading it.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I read this book just before we visited our friends in Eastern Tennessee last April with the intention of walking a  few miles on the Appalachian Trail.  I never made  it to the actual trail but hiked in some areas that sounded pretty similar to Bryson's account. I also read his A Sunburned Country which I liked but not quite as much.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This book was life-changing or at least life-affirming for me.  I had just gotten back from an 11 month trip to Central and South America, and had done some serious thinking about life.  This book affirms living with uncertainty which was what I had been thinking and writing about on the trip.  ]]></body>

So far Ms. Rosethal's book, while delightfully off-center, is in the latter category.  But I'm only up to &quot;C&quot;.]]></body>
