By the Rivers of Babylon did not disappoint! Incredible story!

I've started Absolute Rage by Robert Tanenbaum. Not sure yet where I'm going with it.

Your book sounds great, Peter!

I'm STILL reading my book on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas...

with the meds I have to take for migraines...it's cutting down on my

reading time....:(

But, at least I'm not having headaches...:)

This is what you call "Savoring a good book"....roflol

Do any of you read Robin Cook?

I have been reading several of his books this year, and although not new, recently finished TOXIN. Some of the comments about meat processing potential problems are very disturbing.

He tends to be very techincal so it normally takes me 2 weeks to read one of his books ~ I read that last 20-30 minutes before nodding off to the land of AAAHZ.

I am reading "Cher" right now. it is quite interesting. Hugs

My next book will be something on "Devils Island"...

If I can find such a thing

I have bwwn reading a lot this summer but haven't kept track of the ones I read. One of the favorite things is a series called Grace Chapel. It is about three sisters in the small town where they live but is written by different arthurs.

Another series that I have enjoyed this summer is about two sisters that live in the islands of the state of Washington.. One sister is a expert on birds and the other is a florist that is confinded to a wheelchair. Their names are Abby and Mary. Mary has a help dog named Finnegan. They are light mysteries. The only title that I can remember off hand is The Catbird Caper.

Gaylene, sounds like I would enjoy that set of mysteries.

I have had a very hard time reading the last year - I have managed to get through a few and one is:

EMPIRE by Orson Scott Card - a disturbing look at a possible future. . . . America has grown too fast . . . on the homefront the American dream has split right down the middle . . . the extreme right . . . the extreme left . . . the ordinary everyday citizen just wants to live his/her life in peace BUT government has shattered. Dead president, dead vice president and dead speaker of the house . . . Enter robots . . . special ops . . . NYC captured . . . hidden factory . . . A new civil war.

Breakfast at Sally's: One Homeless Man's Inspirational Journey by Richard LeMieux

I have read this book, or at least I have read the manuscript. At time I cried, at time, I loved and at times both. This is an amazing story. Very heartfelt. It will give you a whole new prespective on the homeless.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"A must read."—Lee Stiles, Director of Development, the Salvation Army

One day, Richard LeMieux had a happy marriage, a palatial home, and took $40,000 Greek vacations. The next, he was living out of a van with only his dog, Willow, for company. This astonishingly frank memoir tells the story of one man's resilience in the face of economic disaster. Penniless, a failed suicide, estranged from his family, and living "the vehicular lifestyle" in Washington state, LeMieux chronicles his journey from the Salvation Army kitchens to his days with "C"—a philosopher in a homeless man's clothing—to his run-ins with Pastor Bob and other characters he meets on the streets. Along the way, he finds time to haunt public libraries and discover his desire to write.

LeMieux's quiet determination and his almost pious willingness to live with his situation are only a part of this politically and socially charged memoir. The real story of an all-too-common American condition, this is a heartfelt and stirring read.

About the Author
Richard LeMieux is a writer and ex-businessman. He has been homeless to varying degrees for years. He lives in Bremerton, Washington.
