Week 10: What are you reading?

[Liz]

Welcome to March! The mini-challenge thread is up so be sure to check that out for suggestions or if you have a book you'd like to recommend. How did everyone like their fantasy books?

I finished The Circle by Dave Eggers over the weekend. I thought it brought up some interesting points about the nature of the Internet, but it also fell short for me. I thought the book had major potential, basically being about Google, but the main character was an idiot. Oh well, time to move on to better books.

To start the March challenge, I'm going to tackle Team of Rivals, which I've heard is phenomenal. As a big Lincoln fan, I'm hoping I learn some new things from it. I'm really bad about reading nonfiction, though, so I'm going to try very hard not to get distracted by other books this time!

What are you reading this week?

[LindaD]

I have Team of Rivals in my collection. It was a gift from my son and I will conquer it someday. Hope you enjoy it!

I finished up The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap (great memoir) last week and am almost finished with Raney, a fiction novel about a newly married couple in the 1970s south. The political incorrectness of the main character is quite shocking, but the story is very interesting. Not sure what I'll pick up after I'm finished with that one...

I just picked up "Food Matters" by Mark Bittman at the thrift store the other day, so that's what I'm reading right now. So far, very similar to any of Michael Pollan's stuff.

[Julie]

I'm still working through A Dance With Dragons, The Prayer of the Lord by R.C. Sproul and Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas.

I also picked up several audiobooks from the library tonight so I just have to decide which one to start first!

by Larry McMurtry started, by author of Lonesome Dove and Terms Of Endearment. It's a 4 part series about an English family coming to the US to explore the West(1830's). Funny
