I read a lot and enjoy historical fiction. Educational and entertaining. Edward Rutherford is my favorite writer now.
London,The Forest,Ruska,Saram,New York, Paris.

Kimcatlou

HOME by Julie Andrews is rhe fascinating story about her early years.
I am now reading THE MAN WHO MOVED A MOUNTAIN by Richard Davids. It is an attention-holding true story about isolated mountain communities and how Robert Childress, who grew up in the area became a presbyterian minister and established schools and jobs to replace moonshining.
I also love ajoy Fielding's mysteries--always a surprise ending!

A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg. I had borrowed from the library and loved, loved it. I told someone at work about it and that I was going to buy it. Guess what I found in my work mailbox? I lent it to another friend and she loved it so much. She had her husband read it and he couldn't put it down. I have it set out to read again. It is such a delightful story.

Well it looks like someone already recommended Boys in the Boat - that is a definite if he hasn't already read it. I don't normally go for non-fiction but it was absolutely wonderful and my husband loved it also.
