What are you reading?

[Anguille]

Migrants, Sharecroppers, Mountaineers, Volume 2 of Children of Crisis (Boston: Little, Brown, 1971)

By Robert Coles

I found it in my father's bookcase. Almost 40 years old but still fascinating.

I do too. It has a dickensian feel without being as slow-going as dickens can be.

when you're done with those, you might want to read Game Change if you haven't already. Fun read for politics junkies.

And i'm sure you did great on finals.

Awhile back I was at a party and was talking to one of my friends (who is a pretty burly Marine). Anyway...he kept telling me to read a book called "Redeeming Love"...and I kept forgetting. Well... I got it for Christmas this year. This made me think of Jeremey and his Johanna Lindsay book

100 points for men who read sappy love stories

I'm starting it today...
