Ann Greenfield | 8 comments You won't believe this guys but I am reading The Officicial Highway Code, which is what all learner drivers have to study before driving. Well they did when I first learned many years ago. But because of my cancer I haven't driven for 20 years and now I am refreshing by reading that and taking some lessons with an instructor.w

Jonathan Brill | 5 comments If you enjoy crime mystery novels, "The Body Reader" by Anne Fraser is very good. It certainly kept me turning the pages. For nonfiction, I would say that "Surrounded By Madness" by Rachel Pruchno is probably the best memoir ever written - at least from a literary perspective - that deals with mental illness told from the perspective of someone who has been tortured by the mental illness demons inflicting a family member. The story is engaging and at times riveting and horrifying too - you won't be able to put it down.

Robert J. | 1 comments Hi all,

My Name is Robert J. Morgalo and I am a newly published author of the book "Decisiones: A look inside the legal battle between Salsa music legends Willie Colon and Ruben Blades, and an Iraq War Veteran caught in the middle, fighting for his honor and his reputation"

I am not sure what is the best way to get genuine reviews from people who actually read the book and not from those wanting to sell their reviews. I think buying reviews is not appropriate.

Any suggestions or advise will be greatly appreciated.

Lela (lacslc) | 191 comments Finished "The Color of Lightening." Good book - very realistic look at the difficulties between the Natives & the settlers in west TX at the end of the Civil War when the Indian Bureau was formed & tribes assigned to various church groups. Not done with much forethought and destined to fail!


message 2337: by Mary (new)

Mary (Joyce4) | 5 comments Hi! I am Mary Reed. I love to read, but am taking classes, so it is hard to make the time. I read The Underground Railroad. It was very well written and her terminology just added to the story. It is appalling what we permitted as a Nation all those years ago. I applaud all those people who risked their lives to help the slaves. How the slave owners could justify this to themselves is beyond me. The Author: Colson Whitehead did a wonderful job.
