After reading several books suggested from The Great American Read, I had taken an hiatus from reading.

Which books... caused the hiatus?
Quote:
(Personally, I saw the entire series on TV... had recorded them, and now having seen them, I deleted the recordings. Actually, I was slightly disappointed by the choices btw. I think the reason I was disappointed was that most of the people who talked about their favourites seemed that the books they chose appealed to their own conditioning and solidified their own beliefs and vested interests (although I could be wrong), which I felt was a bummer.) I never read the "winner"; only saw the movie with Gregory Peck... Feel free to send me a private message if you like. If I learned anything from watching the series, was what Americans did read - which during my time as a retiree, I am taking advantage of by learning as much as possible about Americans {considering their political povs!}. I had been so busy the past 15-20 years prior to retirement that I had no time whatsoever to notice what was going on with my neighbour to the south. And now being retired, I have abundant leisure time to study why the Americans are the way they are. I only read for fun now, or stuff on meditation. |

I just read this. It was very good. I find the whole Manson Family fascinating (in a good and bad way) and this was insightful. |

You can even go there, read the book at a desk or chair then leave it there, and have no written connection between Chris Christie and yourself, homoe.

just finished The Woman in the Mirror by Cathryn Grant. She has a series of this character Alex....a serial killer. Easy read and while it lacks heavy suspense it is feminist to the core. I like that...I may read more of her work. Besides who can resist a feminist serial killer???
