    Wink

    Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.

    Still reading it. So far a riveting, beautiful, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic story about the lives of a group of people living and working at a hospital in Ethiopia during the reign of Haile Selassie. The narrator of the story is one of two twin brothers born to an Indian nun, who worked at the hospital.

    I am really enjoying it. Every now and then, I get a craving for injera

    In the Dark, a murder mystery by Brian Freeman, set in Duluth, Minnesota. Part of the Jonathon Stride series. Pretty good read so far.

    Just finished Suze Orman's 'The Money Class'. A VERY good read, taking a hard honest look at what's going on in our economy and how it affects all of us, now and in our futures.....very informative, but a little bit of a downer, not her fault, just the way the world is, $ speaking, these days!

    Well, realized that posting "quick reply to a message" posts a quick reply, but doesn't really tell which message.

    So ... I'll leave it up to y'all to figure out which book I "love", lol.

    I just finished reading Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris, who wrote Chocolate. It was a thick, emotional, tense novel about an older woman (almost as old as I) who went back to the village she lived in as a child. In France during the Nazi occupation. There were secrets that weren't totally revealed until the end.
    I enjoyed the book -- liked reading as she remembered and as things came more clear.

    Moon of Three Rings - Andre Norton
    http://www.sfsite.com/09a/mt231.htm

    When my mom worked as the school librarian, she would give me books that were replaced due to waning interest. This Jr. High age science fiction book was one. A quick read, but interesting enough.

    I read, 'The Confession' by John Grisham. A very good book. It really makes you think about capital punishment....
    I also read, 'Heaven Is For Real', by Todd Burpo, I couldn't put it down.
    I just started, 'Minding Frankie', by Maeve Binchy.
