75 Books...More or Less! discussion

The President's Wife by Sittenfeld
I enjoyed this book tremendously- I know this was fiction, but I read it as if it were non-fiction, if fact as a autobiography. I am sure it is quite close to the truth.

Barbara, interesting comment! Welcome to the "75" challenge.

Given Day by Dennis Lehane, The Shack by Young,

Iron Lace, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Paul Newman, a Life; The Three Questions

Orange Mint and Honey

Barbara,

You've got some pretty heavy titles here! I'm not familiar with all the books, of course, but I read "The Given Day" and "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" recently. Both were quite thought-provoking. I didn't like the language of some of the characters in "The Given Day", but I found the story really gripping.

Just finished Iron Lace by Emilie Richards. Good read.

Kay, I agree with you concerning the language, some profanity is to be expected, but I felt it got carried away at times. I took offense a couple of times. The story however, was riveting and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I think I will take a break and read a couple of lightweights next. Barbara

Barbara, Good thinking! I often find myself following up something "heavy" with a cozy mystery or a bit of fluff.

Adding the following books: Dogs of Babel, Dogs and Goddesses, Butterfly Lane and the Dog Whisperer

Only twelve so far? Boy do I need to catch up.

Twelve is not bad Barabara! Many people do not even read a book a year. Keep going and maybe you can get another 12 in before the end of the year!
