    Hi!
    I noticed that you, too, are reading The hidden face of Eve. I thought it's already history in Egypt, being written nearly thirty years ago, but recent news about the way women are attacked in the streets there make it very actual again. A very illuminating read.

    Hi Erica,

    Thanks for recommending Larry Brown to me. Earlier I read DIRTY WORK and have just finished FATHER AND SON. He is a powerful storyteller and I can't wait to read another of his books.

    Hi Erica,

    I read DIRTY WORK today. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. It is one of the most powerful novels I have ever read. And to think it was Brown's first novel. I don't know why it took so long for me to read one of his books but I can assure you that it will not be long before I read another one. I have a new favorite author.

    Thanks so very much for your recommendation.

    The siite is almost as addictive as books. I don't know why, but I haven't read any Larry Brown. What would you recommend as an introduction to his work?

    I only joined a couple of days ago at the urging of my nephew. I had no idea how many books I should include on my shelf. I thought that I had gone overboard until I saw the wonderful selection that you had posted. I hope you do not mind that your shelf jogged my memory and allowed me to post several more of the books that are favorites of mind.

    Im fact, I see a couple of books I need to add to my want list right away:

    I have not read that book, and will look it up! I am reading "Hell hath no Fury" right now, and it is also a good cross section of the history of women in the military.
