Yes, I am finding it a wonderful way to get away from my own hectic life and go along for the ride. She and her nephew did an amazing job on the book. I would definitely say it is a good one to start with.
Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

Little Heathens by Mildred Armstrong Kalish A nice little book about Iowa farm life during the depression. This brings back many memories of growing up on a farm in CNY.
The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book Interesting look at daily life in the french countryside during the war.

Finished the new Tom Clancy novel, Life or Death, and I'm about half way into The Bourne Objective, Eric Van Lustbader's further adventures of Jason Bourne, started by Robert Ludlum, continued by Van Lustbader by permission, and totally destroyed by Tony Gilroy. The only resemblance between the Ludlum books and the Gilroy screen play is the three titles and the name Jason Bourne.

Salt by Mark Kurlansky. Came out in 2009; I like popular books to age for awhile before I get to them. If they're still being talked about, there must be something there. Plan to read his book Cod sometime.
Also in the middle of River of Darkness by Rennie Airth. Whoever it was that mentioned him in this thread some time ago, thanks a lot. Good reading.

I loved "Salt" and "Cod." Now I have about 10 types of salt to get used up...and I'm on a low or no-salt diet
Got a couple on the go at the moment. Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, and Lost Souls by Lisa Jackson. One DTB, and one on Kindle.

I am reading an English mystery by Hazel Holt. I love her Mrs. Malory stories. I have read them all a few years ago and I am reading them again.
Do you have favorite books that you reread?

Oh yes, I have stacks and stacks of books that I read at least once a year. I still manage to get a new one in there, every once in a while.
