I have a pretty hectic lifestyle. Therefore, I enjoy reading to escape. I also love experiencing other cultures and time periods through books. That is why I rarely pick up books dealing with modern America. It just doesn't interest me. I have been known to make exceptions but they are rare. Discussing books is another favorite pastime.... more »

    Oh! That's the book you meant. The one about Melkorka from Laxdæla Saga. I really want to read that when you're done!

    At first I thought you meant Touch, the one by Alexi Zentner. Sorry for the confusion.

    Saw that you put a book about the Harper's Ferry raid on your to-read list. If you're interested in John Brown, you should check out Russell Banks' Cloudsplitter. It's huge, but really, really good.

    Is that about the medieval book? I'll try to remember to bring it next time I come over...whenever that may be. ;) How's the house going? Tell Nick I'm sorry I haven't been able to help lately!

    I'm glad you liked Conrad Richter. The second book, The Fields, came in the other day. It's on hold for you. See you Sunday!

    That One Hundred Saints book looks pretty interesting. I have been looking for something like that for a while. Is it any good?

    Hey! Good to see you on here! Heavenly is on here as well. I think this is a pretty amazing site. I review almost all of the books I read on here. I see you put Kristin Lavransdatter on your to-read list. That book is becoming one of my favorite books ever. At least on the top ten. The texture and quality of medieval Norway is so bracing, so wild and yet wholesomely familiar. Even though it only covers three generations of one family, it has an epic feel. The amount of detail, both historical and cultural as well as personal and emotional, is staggering, and very inspiring to me. Let me know whenever you get to it!
