I had to read one of his books ("The Crying of Lot 49") in my final semester of college, so I felt cool buying it, because his books are pretty heavy with themes and such. Should be interesting... Until now, I've been stuck on Stephen King, and I just knocked out Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons", since the movie's coming out soon. It was a good read. Fun and easy. But mad props if you read Pynchon. -drew. "and if you never stop when you wave goodbye, you just might find if you give it time, you will wave hello again...you just might wave hello again..." "someday i'll be so damn much more..."

"Tales Of A Female Nomad" by Rita Golden Gelman is just a delicious book. Apparently her children's book "More Spaghetti I say" is quite well known in the states? http://www.borders.com/on...itleDetail?sku=0609809547 And she's a toootal bleeding heart liberal, which made me love her more An interesting lady, with a really fascinating story and a wonderful perspective on life. More about her on her site here: http://www.ritagoldengelman.com/ I'm currently reading "Almost French" by Sarah Turnbull about an Australian girl who falls in love with a Frenchman and takes a gamble, packs up her life and moves to France. Anyone else know of any great Travel Memoirs? You can take all the tricks up my sleeve....

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	actually, one branch of my stepfamily is mormon, and their bookshelves are filled with young adult & children's mormon fiction books. basically like any young adult books you'd read, just less sex and "how can i make this guy like me", and more friendship and "how can i make this guy come to church with me". i'd be willing to bet that there already exist general protestant-themed books in this vein. love, mary Team Kyle

Buckley I just finished this too! I meant to tell you about this too em as I figured you'd read it. It definitely rated as probably the least enjoyable mitch rapp story but I'm sure I'll continue to read anything flynn writes. I miss the thomas stanfield days. -Joey my list

I like the Mike Nash character. I hope there's more of him in the next one, too. -Em

I am really worried that soon something will have to Mitch and they will start writing Mike Nash books...I will cry! \
