It was nice to read a memoir where the writer loved and respected his parents and rejoices in the life lessons they taught him. A good look back at a simpler time. Its a fun, quick read that will leave you feeling good. Cal ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18843301 Brittney's review of Les Misérables (Penguin Classics)

]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53191917 to: Boone (Hardcover) by Robert Morgan
I have enjoyed everything I've read from this author (esp. Gap Creek) but this is the first biography of his that I have read and he has done a masterful job. I thought I pretty much knew the Daniel Boone story but I learned a ton and it was fasinating reading. Highly rec. this one. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53191685 to: The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (Hardcover) by David Grann
Interesting and engaging. Reads like fiction and gives a whole lot of info on the Amazon and the early explorers of it, esp. Percy Faucett. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48621712 to: Symbols in Stone: Symbolism on the Early Temples of the Restoration (Hardcover) by Matthew B. Brown
Outstanding treatise on the symbols (physical) of the temple. Don't skip the footnotes! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48620998 to: A Long Way from Chicago/A Year Down Yonder (Paperback) by Jill Green
I have had a lot of fun reading these teen books by Richard Peck. Sometimes I just need a fun, quick read. These have been great. I've read A Long Way from Chicago , A Year Down Yonder and The Teacher's Funeral. thanks to Blake (I thing) for introducing me to them. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48503647 Aubrey's review of Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

What a great life but also a wonderful window into the lives of those who influenced him. A great example of how history can be changed by the actions and words of one person. ]]>
