what are you reading now?
I'll have to order it from Amazon (that's the standard for living overseas) or wait till I get to Atlanta in June. It's on my list to read, though!
It sounds great--I'll have to order it from Amazon. We don't have access to many books over here, but I can get it in a few day. I've been to Auschwitz--twice. First in 1964 and then again in 2004 . . . I was just a young teenager the first time and afterwards read everything I could find on the the Holocaust. The Jewish ghetto of Krakow has been rebuilt and is a thriving new community. Hard to believe it could rise from that time . . . but it has!
What's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas about? I'm intrigued.

Wow, we have 63 books in common! I also live in NC. New to this and not really sure what the friend is but maybe it makes it easier to find books you've also read. Anyway check out my list. Judy S
Everyone I know in Atlanta (where I lived for 1.5 years and still have a condo for summertime) is from the North, mostly NY and NJ! Why did you move south? i'm originally from Illinois but have lived overseas since 1987. You can write to me at hdlions@yahoo.com if it's more convenient.
That's funny about thinking Germany was dark . . . my stepmother thought the exact same thing. She was amazed when she came to visit in the 90s and it was all green and pretty! Like you, she was basing it on old movies. Are you a southerner? Have you always lived in the South?
Thanks for your note on Stones from the River . . . I haven't read the other two you mentioned but will check them out. I've heard about The Reader. As for Stones, I lived in Germany for almost 18 years, so it had special meaning to me. I've have a prety good feeling for the German character, small twon life, etc. It's easy to understand why the Nazis were able to do the things they did. I guess I also had some feeling about being "an outsider" when living there, as you always are one.

Hi Fro. Looking forward to next weekend.
I just finished "The Knitting Circle" by Ann Hood. It was a good read. Now I will be starting "Thirteen Moons" by Charles Frazier.
What are you reading now? I know it is your favorite pastime.
