I just got through reading "How To Win Friends And Influence People" (Carnegie).
Lots of Biblical parallel; interesting to read from another prospective.
Every day is a new adventure!

Since we just bought an RV for our upcoming move across the country, we are reading "The Idiot's Guide to RV Vacations."

Kate,
I am so glad you are moving east. I cannot, however, even begin to imagine moving across the country, RV or not! This place is way to full of decades worth of accumulation. You are wise to consult the "literature!" Ann |

Actually I have a correction. It's "RV Vacations for Dummies" that we're currenty reading, but Rob does want to get the other one next. As
far as moving East, yes we are but not as far as we thought we would be. Rob is going to be a tenure-track professor of Political Science at Mississippi State
University beginning in January. We put our house on the market on May 1st, expecting it to take a couple of months (at least) to sell, but the 1st people who
looked at it made an offer after it had only been on the market for 3 days! So we are moving in late June or early July, depending on when closing happens.
We will make our way slowly east in the RV. We are still trying to decide whether to go to MS 1st to try to find a place to live, then go up to MA to see
family, or to go to MA 1st then head down to MS to look for housing.
As far as our accumulation, yes we have a house-full of it. We are letting the movers pack it - we will sort on the other end. Sorry to thread-jack. Back to the question at hand. What's everyone else reading this summer? |

Also just finished "Girls Like Us" by Sheila Weller. Kind of a biographical triology/social history about Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly
Simon. Excellent! Well written. I highly recommend it to all soft rock/folk music buffs, ex-hippies, and young people today who want to gain more insight into
the social and musical times of the 60's and 70's.

Brenda, I saw an excellent biography on Joni Mitchell that is available on DVD - it also gave a lot of background about the times (and her relation to CSNY
etc.) Very interesting.
I didn't know that book existed ("Girls Like Us") and being a huge Carol King fan, I'm definitely going to read that. Thanks for the tip. Jim
Every day is a new adventure!

Just finished Charlaine Harris' "From Dead to Worse." Working my way through Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" series of books, and
also reading Mike Lowell's book, which is pretty good. Wonder who the reporter is that he refused to give interviews to? CHB perhaps?
Looking forward to the new "Fearless Fourteen" in Janet Evanovich's series next week. And Philip R. Craig's latest book "Vineyard Chill". Sad to say Craig passed away this year and there will be no more books to look forward to. Joan |

Looking forward to the new "Fearless Fourteen" in Janet Evanovich's series next weekOOO, thanks for letting me know about this, I didn't know she had a new one! Although I'll probably wait until it comes out in paperback. Her books are very entertaining but I read them so quickly, and only once, that I can't see paying full hardcover price for them... |

Brenda, that would be a great idea, but we pull out on Friday. I actually just started a non-fiction book called "One Day at Fenway," about a Red
Sox - Yankees game in August of 2003. Can't remember the author, but after chapter 1, I am hooked!
