I am currently reading Fall of Giants, by Ken Follett. It is the first book of the Century Trilogy that follows the lives of five families from just prior to WWI. I am about 1/2 way through the book and loving it. It is one of those books where you end up rationing how much you read because you don't want the story to end.

I'm reading Amazonian Treasure, a book that was recently published at Amazon kindle. The story is about a Peruvian young man who travels through the Amazon rainforest in search of a wise old man who possesses the wisdom of their indigenous ancestors. It's a book that I recommend to everyone because the message of the story is one that humans need to hear in these times of planetary chaos.

I would like to experience this group in a deeper way. Any suggestions? I printed out some free online maps of the entire world, by continent and wrote down lists of some of the books I own that qualified,mostly from the existing list but I have many more to add to it. How do I best utilize the group? I have been putting the books on my "shelf" so I remember to include them. Help?

Reading "Floreana - A Woman's Pilgrimage to the Galapagos" by Margret Wittmer. An older book (1989) about a bizarre experiment in living off the grid in the 1930s on a deserted island. Basis for the just released documentary "The Galapagos Affair" - which I highly recommend.

I just finished rereading Rose En Marche by Jamie Ivey

Jamie Ivey has written one of the most enveloping books about life in the south of France and the food culture that surrounds it. From the first page I was drawn into his story and dreamed at night of Provence. He captured the area perfectly and tells an amusing tale as life as a wine purveyor in French markets. Having been myself to many of these markets, I was impressed and amazed at how well Jamie captured their spirit and essence. I laughed out loud many times and was driven to pour my own glass of rose on more than one occasion.
I immediately ordered Jamie's other two books, Extremely Pale Rose and La Vie En Rose and can't wait to read them.
This is a fantastic book to read at home or while traveling through France. It encompasses all the great things about the area: the food, the scenery, the people, and especially the rose.
