Readings in 2007
What I've Read in 2006
Eugene H. Peterson: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society
Life changing. A study of The Psalms of Ascent. IF there were more than 5 stars, this would get 10. (*****)Blue Like Jazz
Excellent in the line, the male Anne Lamont. (*****)Donna Tartt: A Secret History
Also for mature audiences but a wonderful mystery and look at human nature. (*****)Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
Another should read. I really had some preconceived ideas about immigrants and Middle Eastern people that have been changed. (*****)Jennifer Weiner : Good in Bed
Mature audiences only but a good story. (****)Larry Watson: Montana 1948
(****)Cornelia Funke: Inkheart
(****)Michael Crichton: Airframe
Have you ever gotten half way through a book and realized you'd read it before?Jhumpa Lahiri: The Namesake
Loved this and am not sure why. It is a universal story about discontent and finding contentment. Descriptions are brilliant. I could smell the curry. (*****)
WOW. WOW. And, yet again...
WOW.

I think she gave the actual answer to the question.
Why can't many Americans find the US on a map?
Because their education is bankrupt.
Sad.

She redeemed herself somewhat on one of the morning shows. There's a You-Tube on it now. (It's on Joey's site on my blog). Like I told him, though, I just wanted to say "What a STUPID pageant-y question!" I got one like that one time and you have a split second to figure out how you're going to give some sort of answer that doesn't leave you looking like a "dumb blonde". I guess it's a way for them to see how well you think on your feet without telling them it's a STUPID question!

wow. This reminds me of a time years ago...I was working in a bar/restaurant and they hosted a 'cowgirl pageant'. One of the contestants was asked the question, "Can you name an ingredient in beer?" She replied, "uh, bubbles?!"
