    I just read a book about letters from people heading to Oregon from Missouri in the early 1800s may be some of your relatives. It was a good book.

    Anyone interested in Mental health perspective "When Rabbit Howls" by Truddi Chase (actually written by her "troops" (multiple personalities)) and "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" by Joanna Greenberg. Both good reads.

    I am a HUGE C. Moore fan. My favorite books of his are Lamb and A Dirty Job. He's got a new book just coming out that I'm hoping to have a chance to read. Not too big on Hiaasen though. Have you ever read Tim Dorsey?

    My favorite books are To Kill a Mockingbird and Huckelberry Finn. In that order. I'm sure that my son appreciates that I like To Kill a Mockingbird better or his name would be Huck :lol:

    Steinbeck was one of my first "loves". While I have been reading alot of "modern" authors lately, the classics were what got me hooked on reading. I even went so far as to read some Shakespeare....on purpose :lol: Not that I have much time to read these days :D

    I love to read.. I just wish I had more time in the day so I could do it more.. I was at my sisters in January and that was the first time in 2 years I got to read... I missed my flight and had to stay at the Columbus airport for almost 9 hours and had a 4 hour layover in GA.. so I bought a book and loved it!!! I forgot how much I love to read.. The wait flew by with my book.. I read "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb.. I still have some left to finish.. oh but it is SO good..
