    I would definitely recommend reading "Water for Elephants". The cruelty isn't terribly explicit and it's integral to the story. It also affects people as well as animals.

    Thanks for the reminder that I wanted to read Population: 485. I put the order into the library. I like the general tone of your shelf.

    First I read Dawkin's "The God Delusion" and then "God is not Great". They approach the subject differently and I think the best way is the order I read them in. Hitchings is more sarcastic than Dawkins. Give them a try.

    I just finished "World Without End" and pronounce it super-great.

    Hope your two are doing well.

    OK you guys, I'm into "World Without End" which is the sequel to Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" Both are very interesting and I'm sure you would like them

    I just read Fun Home on the recommendation of a friend of mine who is teaching it in her graduate seminar at Cal State East Bay. The entire time I was reading it I thought of you. But you beat me to the punch!
    You really need to read some novels, young lady.
