Reading this on my Kindle, which I don't use much, so will take a while........

Reading this on my Kindle, but since most of my reading is done at night, trying not to spoil my sleep with electronics.

Did not finish. First book I have not finished in years.

Good Reading:"Resistance" by Agnes Humbert, a biography of Humbert's years in the French Resistance in WWII, and a record of her years of imprisonment, her life and times. Written much like a diary, Agnes tells us of the actions and thoughts of her fellow Resistance activists, of the Nazi views and treatment of their fellow human beings, and mostly the courage of the French, Polish, Russian,German & other comrades

nearly finished; taking it slow so I can savor(and reading other books, yes). Good that it is short stories!

The soldiers who invade the party have lived lives of deprivation compared to their hostages. How the two groups find friendship,love,compatibility--and the outcome...a good story!!

Unique story! I read this constantly as I didn't have an idea what would happen next. It is well-crafted, has characters who will pull you into the action, and it helps you stop and think: Why are we rushing through life without extending the enjoyment? It is all novel, no preaching, not a 'how-to' book. I enjoyed the story of both successful guests at the party of an opera enthusiast, who are taken hostage.

Not my usual read, but collecting good information through survivalist lit.

Didn't finish.

and already interested. By the author of "Cold Mountain", this novel shows a 12-year old given a map and being sent on a journey through the Cherokee Nation.
