Sorry you had a computer glitch, scarletwoman. I've been having a bit of that myself. I hope you will return later and fill us in on your weekly reading.

I finished The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. That was some book. I was impressed by Kingsolver's skill in bringing the characters to life. TexasProgresive, I guess I'm no fan of post colonial Africa. I don't think much of colonial Africa either. It seems the people of Africa are forever being exploited for their resources. They are suffering for this even today. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone that encouraged us to read The Poisonwood Bible, just wonderful. I'll get around to Barbara's The Lacuna soon.

Since I finished The Poisonwood Bible I have been reading A Swimming Monk by Malachy McCourt. This is highly entertaining. Malachy is just a mess, but in an entertaining way. Thank you for the recommendation, TexasProgresive.

Mrs. Enthusiast finished The Black Book by Ian Rankin. I think she feels this is the best Rebus adventure yet. Now she is reading Ivan Doig's The Bartender's Tale. She likes this one as she did the previous Doig books. Thank you for the recommendation, japple.
