I am still reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. What a wonderful book!

Mrs. Enthusiast just this moment finished The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. She was very impressed with The Poisonwood Bible. So I just now ordered a used copy of The Lacuna.
Thanks to everyone that recommended the Barbara Kingsolver books!
