I read The Help a few months ago. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't so predictable. Would be interested in your take, afixer.
Now I'm reading My Antonia by Willa Cather and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

interesting story lines and a good first novel for southern writer Stockett. I don't do much fiction really but when I do I tend to lean towards a southern writer and theme. |

Water for elephants, by Sara Gruen
My girlfriend loved it! I haven't gotten terribly far into it but so far it's good. Takes place in a traveling circus and seems to revolve around an ill-fated love affair and the human-animal bond (just to clarify, the ill-fated love affair was NOT between a human and an animal

Well, the book itself showcases a series of miniature environmental case studies from different regions in the US. The Bernard (2010) text supplemented the core reading list for my CST 591 Environmental Communication Studies class. At the end of our course, our professor sought out class opinion about whether to keep this book as part of the readings list. I feel that this text is a great resouce; other students felt it should be dropped. It's written from a sociological perspective and not too many understand that type of applied lens. We had students from various disciplines in our class - so this might be a reason why some students felt the way they did. Bernard's (2010) compilation of various community issues is a snap-shot approach. He gives as much background as possible to each case presented. For example, the case offering on the Wisconsin tribe of the Menominee was useful because here in Oregon we have a similar situation: land issue disputes between two confederated tribes (The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs) and how policy -in the past and present- drawn around gaming, landuse, or other problematic economic issues they face as stakeholders, in a ten-year long dispute process that is very complicated. I learned a lot about how people come together to solve situations/dilemmas that affect communities and felt this book was indispensible in my learning process! Thanks for asking me about the book! Have you read it as well, daisy??? |

I am about to read The Story of B. Its by the author of Ishmeal. Has anyone read either book? I read Ishmael and enjoyed it. It was a life changing book for my daughter, much like Johnathon Livingston Seagull was for me when i was her age.

OH! I have been wanting to read that book! I am going to see if I cant get it at the library when I go to the hospital for my surgery. I want to bring a few books so I can read and not just watch TV all day.
