November Read

I don't know about where you live, but here in Utah we are knee-deep in fall with hints of winter peeking through. The multi-colored leaves are falling off the trees, there's a chill in the air in the mornings, and we even had a couple of inches of snow last Sunday. It's truly beautiful--such a nice change for us from the SoCal desert. Wherever you are, take time to appreciate the beauty around you and the seasons as they change.

This month we will be reading fiction. Any genre. Just make sure that the author is foreign-born. They can live here in America as long as they were born outside the United States. And lets lump Great Britain and Canada in with America too as far as not being "foreign-born". The idea is to find an author with a completely different heritage or culture than yours and to learn to appreciate their point of view.

Please let us know the nationality (or country of origin) of your author when you post your title. When you finish the book, it would be interesting to "hear" any reflections you have had while reading that pertain to the differences in culture or nationality.

Happy reading!
