ahhhh you guys read so many books! I'm lucky if I get through 3 novels (that I pick myself) in a year... there are video games to be played!
But you still do lots of reading, even if not from books. Games have plenty of caption to read.

The Mermaid Chair - Sue Monk Kidd

The Painted House- John Grisham....fabulous read. I'm not usually a Grisham fan (though I read most of the books...lol) but this one is GOOD.

Got another pile of Beverly Lewis books from the library- another series of novels about the Amish.

The Memory of Running - Ron McLarty

Thanks for the recomendation on Painted House. (I saw it the other day but wasn't sure if I should read it) I'll check that out after my read.

I read all of Grishams books. Like his writing style.
Why are you reading novels about the Amish? Trying to become a nun or something?

Im reading solar wars by charles solgrid

I like reading about different cultures.
The Amish aren't nuns, Russ!!!! They're farmers. They don't use much technology because they want to live "the simple life". I think there's wisdom in that.

Have you watched "The Village" Lil Me? It refers to the Amish.

lol. I should get a straw hat to go with my fur.

Haven't seen the movie, purelife.

Hmmm. I read the Painted House, but I don't recall it being a Grisham. I mean, I know it is, but for some reason it doesn't ring a bell. (I've read all of his stuff too Russ)

Lil Me.....I finally slugged my way through The Life of Pi. I have no idea what value the first 37 chapters had in that story. Almost tossed it, but my friend insisted I try to hang in. Middle of the book was sensational....nail biting and totally exciting, hard to put down....all to end up with an ending as dull as the beginning. Grrrrrr

Uhm.... is anyone here into fantasy?? Am I the only odd one out?

LOL! I know the Amish arent into tech.. Just buggin' ya!
I really got a good vision and idea about them when I followed a girl to Guelph one time.. just outside there, there's a farmers market.. and a HUGE amish population.
I think its called St Jacob's farmers market.. the homemade sausage and soap is out of this world! I have friends that have family there, and whenever they go, I dont have to ask them to bring back any anymore.

oooooh! I love homemade soap. Russ- you would like goat's milk soap (I'm not a fan). Makes you smell very goat-y.
