SkydiveStMarys 0 #26 October 2, 2005 I think so too. Though, if your not someone that is familiar with or someone that has no idea what drug/alcohol addicition is all about it might not be such a page turner. It would give you insight though into that world if you needed it. It is a great personal account coming from and out of the depths of such a horrid disease.

Lindsey 0 #27 October 2, 2005 I think she said it was on Oprah's list or something? The only book I've read that she recommended ended up being one of my favorite books--another Barbara Kingsolver book, "Poisonwood Bible." I'm also on my 5th or 6th Goosebumps series...lol. That's what my child likes read to him at bedtime...heh.-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

NWFlyer 2 #29 October 2, 2005 I've been working on The Know-It All by AJ Jacobs for forever.

And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cloudseeker2001 0 #39 October 3, 2005 Quote"Blind Man's Bluff", a story of cold war submarine ops.Amzing things that went on in the shadowy world of submarine espionage. I highly recommend it. Also Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World, Science as a Candle in the Dark." This book and Jared Diamond's "Collapse" should be required reading in High School. Check them out. The Demon-Haunted world is a great book, I agree every high school person should read it......I have read all of CS books.

HeatherB 0 #40 October 3, 2005 At any given time, there are at least several books on my night stand. I tend to read books over and over too. I try to rotate new ones into the mix. Currently: Broca's Brain (Carl Sagan) Contact (Carl Sagan) You Shall Know Our Velocity (Dave Eggers) Irish Fairy & Folk Tales (Yeats) Babylon Revisited and other stories (Fitzgerald) None of those are new to me...maybe I should make a trip to the bookstore.
