My favorite reads are biographies/memoirs and classics. Anyone who has written even one book has accomplished much more than I have, and I admire the author's talent, vision, expression and hard work. I'm not much of a literary critic, so my ratings are simply based on my personal preference. Here's what my stars mean: 5 = books that... more »

    We're reading it for book club. Haven't read too much yet, but I'm enjoying it so far.

    We're enjoying being up here, although I'm working. Callie and I are going out to see King Lear this evening.

    Stay cool!

    hello there. I noticed you gave The Book Thief one star. You are the ONLY person I know (other than myself) that gave it such a low review. I'm so curious to know your thoughts about this book. If/When you have time.

    warmly,
    Melissa

    I see you have Thomas Jefferson on your shelf. The Chronological Read of American History Group at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/about has selected it as the September read. Hope you can stop in and join the conversation!

    Dear BNJ: I was looking for something on Google and found a link to your Shelfari. Thank you so much for your recommendation about Girl Soldier. I am thrilled that it was a blessing and an inspiration to you.
    I am afraid that I don't keep up with Shelfari very well, except to try to organize the books I've read on the shelves! But it is a great service.
    Take care, and God bless, Faith McDonnell

    Hello! I'm new to looking at other's recommendations, so it was interesting to follow this book (You Can Go Home Again) and find someone at Covenant Seminary! A friend of mine used to be in the development office there and now is president of Food for the Hungry. Small world. I look forward to seeing what else is on your shelf. . .

    I love your list too! I hear you about the lack of time and the dirth of exciting reading material. I want to run away to Africa or India, never watch TV again, and instead work & talk & cook & take care of my kids & read good books. I know I don't have to run away to Africa to do it, it just sometimes seems like an easier solution.... :) We are doing pretty well, just making our way day by day. I hope you all are well too. Give Hunter a big hug for me.

    My first standard for a friendship request is a good shelf. I bend a bit for a Seattlite, someone with a black and white cat OR a picture with a mountain in the background!

    I did like Eat, Pray, Love. Not one of my all time favorites, but it was good. I saw her interviewed on Oprah which was interesting and added to the experience of having read her book.
    The "shack" in my picture... I have no idea where that even is! It was just a picture from my computer and I haven't gone back in to change it!! : )
    Kinda funny
