I am reading the "Yada Yada Prayer Group" series by Neta Jackson. They are good. Also I love a good mystery/thriller, forensics mysteries such as those by Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. For a good laugh read Janet Evanovich's books, They will have you laughing so hard you will cry.

"Peel my Love like an Onion" by Ana Castillo, is a wonderful, inspiring story about the life, her two loves and struggles of Carmen .

I am plowing though Wild Swan--it is a personal account of the experience of one family in China during the last century, particularly the Cultural Revolution. It is long but fascinating--and often sad. I would like to read more about modern China as I know so little about the history of that part of the world.

I really liked reading the Omnivore's Dilemma which talks about our food system in this country and traces three very different meals from farm to table.

For the person who read The Kite Runner, his other book is titled "A Thousand Splendid Suns" & is also excellent & about Afghanistan. I just finished Snow Flower & the Secret Fan, all about two young girls/women in China in the 1800s; it was excellent. I just started reading "Water for Elephants" today... Loved The Glass Castle & The Memory Keepers Daughter also.

I'm reading Ken Follett's 'Pillar's Of The Earth' it's pretty good so far and would recommend it to the group. I dont do a lot of reading but listen to audiobooks, its better to listen to while multitasking, which is what we all do well, i'm sure.

I've just started reading Professor Khaled Abou El Fadl's "The great theft: wrestling Islam from the extremists." He has some good insights.
