Subject: RE: BS: Books-What have people been reading recently?
Finished "French Lessons" by Peter Mayle sometime last week -- various food celebrations around France.

A few minutes ago I finished a novel by Patricia Volk, "To My Dearest Friends" -- interesting, but not a keeper. Might give it to a friend who is a real estate broker.

My sister-in-law, professor of religion at a Lutheran college, just discovered the Spider Robinson quote on my email sig line ("If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron.") -- maybe I need to re-read some of the early Callahan's Cross Time Saloon stories -- or the Stardance Trilogy -- or "Time Pressure", my favorite.

Or something completely different.

I'm still working on the Karen Armstrong book. And I've started Jimmy Carter's "Sources of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith".
