Just wondering what you folks are reading these days. I'm reading two very different books at the moment. My oungest son recommended The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier And Klay by Michael Chabon, which won a Pulitzer Prize. It's a grand book which has been compared to Ragtime in that it includes historical and fictional characters and several story lines. I'm about half way through it and haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time. It also has a feel of Call It Sleep... another favorite of mine.

Today, I picked up a book by Harold Kushner.. a Rabbi best know for writing a classic book When Bad Things Happen To Good People. That's a book I've shared with friends over the years who were going through particularly hard times in their lives. He just recently wrote a book on the 23rd Psalm.. "Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," which I've just started to read. It's much like his other books... very straightforward without an excess of theological exposition. Very little, as a matter of fact. I can see I'm going to get a lot out of the book.

So, what you folks reading these days? I'll be looking for something new in a couple of weeks...
