Lori, I have that one in my TBR pile and most of the people in my online book group, loved it. They also loved her last book though and I found that to be lacking. I have the feeling I'll be feeling the same way as you.

:-) WOOHOO! Glad you're enjoying it. I'm listening to Outlander again (4th time), and it's been a lot of fun to compare the "new" Jamie and Claire w/the "older" couple in ABOSAA that I just finished.

Finished Kite Runner. Great book, but a sad story. I am anxious to see the movie.

Knightpatti, in sort of the same vein, I highly recommend 'A Fine Balance'. The best book I've ever read.

I'm reading Jim Morrison: Life Death Legend by Stephen Davis. It's quite a tale of a talented, complicated man who was not very nice to be around. He cut off all contact from his parents and siblings when he was 21 and never spoke to them again. He used his friends for money, shelter, and meals when he needed to, then ignored them. He used huge amounts of drugs and alcohol, passed out while urinating on the street,ran thru the streets of Los Angelos dodging cars or balanced from high rise balcony rails---its a wonder he didnt die years before he did. yet he would insist that the Doors divide all the profits four ways equally and when other record labels expressed interest in him, he refused to dump the band and go solo.
I think he must have had undiagnosed mental illness, that went back onto his life.
Fascinating story nontheless.

Just finished Quickie by James Patterson. It is a good beach book. Nothing deep and symbolic but fun to read.

Currently reading Water Like A Stone, Deborah Crombie's latest whodunit. Her books are all above average and easy, quick reads.

Life On The Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers. I picked it up this morning and through tears, have finished it. It's told in a series of notes between a mother and her 15 year old daughter that are left on the refrigerator door. The mother is diagnosed with breast cancer and the notes change in their complexity. Very touching.

After The God Delusion am now reading God is not Great... wow, I already have my own opinion but it's nice to read so many points of view. I am a humanist but I respect religion. These two authors don't.

Just finished Susan Wiggs first 3 books in the series of The Lighthouse Chronicles. (There's another one coming out in February and I'm looking forward to it.) I also have about 3 more of her books to read later.

Currently I just started Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, cuz I wanted a change of literary pace.

I just laid down Still Summer by Jacquelyn Mitchard. Mamie you were right! Good book even if it made my eyes water and my heart pound in parts.

Now starting Stolen In The Night by Patricia Macdonald. It looks like the same genre and I should have done a good old fashioned mystery in between. I will be calling my daughters and telling them to take good care of my grandchildren!

Ophiliasgrandma, I read A Fine Balance a few years ago and it is still one of the most memorable books I have read. It is not a "feel good" book by any means, but certainly an eye-opener about life in India. An exceptional read, IMHO.

Supergranny, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It sure was very suspenseful in various parts.

Oh, goody, KP, let us know what you think of it. I've real all of Mistry's books and have enjoyed them all, but A Fine Balance is the best of the bunch.
