"Half the Sky" - a great book. Here's a link explaining themovement.

I rarely read fiction unless there is a phenomenal book that's highly recommended - I personally feel it's a waste of my time but that's just me - too many other things to do!!

I am reading two:
1. The Road by Cormac McCarthy----wonderful book! Great writing.
2. So Big by Edna Ferber---good one as well just very different. Few more pages to go then want to start another one. I have my own library of books so sometimes it is hard to decide what next. I buy lots of books at Thrift stores.
On my agenda soon is the last of the 3 series about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo----The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Next.
This is a great topic because I have a hard time trying to decide which to do first-----read or quilt! :thumbup:

Well..let's get it over with..I said to myself...I was glued to the story before the first disk was over. =)
