Raves et al

This is so exciting! I'm just so happy to have found a way to share our reading tastes! Your choices are marvelous. My choice for June is Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields. It finally came out in paperback (I rarely purchase hbs but will buy almost any pb) and I'm anticipating finding out more about the author of one of the finest books ever!

I'm so glad you liked The Kite Runner, Beccy. I rave about it but can't get some people to read it because they can't get past the setting. I think it's a fine read with a truly Christlike message. I had a male friend read it (who has sons) because I wanted a male response. He loved it although he said it was such a difficult read. And for what it's worth...I don't usually censor books but the word used in that scene is one which is especially repugnant, offensive and abhorrent to me...even to look at. I had to be rid of it! I am looking forward to reading his new book...can't think of the title at the moment. It's out in hardback...I'll probably have to get it at the liberry.

I will be finishing up 20,ooo Leagues this afternoon and will post my comments tomorrow. Bill is taking the test on it today (he hasn't quite finished but only needs 3 points to push his reading grade up to a full A before school ends) and we are both going to watch the Disney movie next week for FHE.
