-"The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion
-"East of Eden" by Steinbeck

anniversary of it's publication

Anne also recommends that we catch up with her and Frank at Safari West on July 28th. More info here: www.safariwest.com.

Catching Up on Past Books

Ok, if memory serves me correctly, we've managed to go through two books since the blog was last updated.

1. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

2. Florence of Arabia - by Christopher Buckley

I liked 'em both. :-)

Next book? I don't remember. I think we're up at Bethany's next time but I don't recall what we're reading.

hrumph... I thought we were reading something by Kurt Vonnegut, but there it is.
