I just finished reading "The Help" written by Kathryn Stockett.
It is fiction and about African American Women Domestics, telling their story to a middle class white woman. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960s during the time of the Civil Rights movement. I rarely read fiction but I could not put this book down. I grew up during this era in Southern California and played with the children of African American women domestics that abandoned the South and moved to California to make a better life for their children. We all lived in the projects. IMO, this book sounds pretty realistic.

Greyson, I could heart their voices and totally enjoyed this book. I know I will read it again. If anyone has a Color Nook and would be interested in reading I will see if this book has the share option as I don't mind sharing it with others.

I just got done reading Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi. I laughed and I cried. Excellent read for sure...

Recently I've read Lost Voices by Sarah Porter. It's a dark YA fantasy about a girl who becomes a mermaid.
I'm also reading Clash of Kings by George R. R. Donaldson. It's the 2nd in his A Song Of Ice And Fire trilogy which is being produced by HBO as Game Of Thrones. Totally engrossing. Not your average sword/sorcery fantasy. Donaldson has NO problem killing off popular characters. |

Good Memoir
Instead of a Letter--Diana Athill
Producte Description (Amazon): Diana Athill's childhood was idyllic, brought up in the Norfolk countryside. Aged only 15, she fell in love with a young undergraduate. They travelled to Oxford, engaged to be married. Then everything fell apart in the cruellest possible way. In this modern memoir, Diana Athill dissects the terrible consequences of loss and her struggle to rebuild a personality destroyed by sadness. |

Manning Up - How the rise of women has turned men into boys by Kay Hymowitz. Interesting history. Still trying to decide if there is some merit to her conclusions.
