    Default what i am reading....

    I am almost done Escape by Carolyn Jessop. It is the true story of how she escaped a polgomy(sp?) sect with her eight children. I would suggest this book to all the book worms out there. Enjoy.

    I just read about that book on line today through a web link and thought "oh that sounds good". I can't imagine living that kind of life and then being brave enough to escape with all 8 of your kids. I'll be checking on it at the library tommorrow.

    I read that last month. It was a pretty good book although it was slow in parts.

    I'm reading All the King's Men , I'd forgotten just what a great book it is. It's been over 20 years since I last read it, highly recommend.

    City of Dreams was pretty good... I'm looking forward to reading the second book.
    Meanwhile, I picked up The Friday Night Knitting Club. Anyone read this?

    I'm reading Foxfire 2 now. These are old books(1975) but very interesting.
