Anyone read I, Lucifer? Would you recommend it?

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend!"

I enjoyed "A Thousand Splendid Suns" so much that I was compelled to read "The Kite Runner."  I just finished it last night.  Khaled Hosseini is a wonderful storyteller.  I can't recommend these books enough.

Now I am going to read "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama.

Only In America  by Matt Frei.

Matt Frei is a BBC news journalist who moved to the states. It's his own (British) personal experience and insight into American politics. It's actually quite good. A very down to earth and easy read book and not full of too much political mumbo-jumble!

Affluenza by Oliver James.  I've got all of his other books on request through the Hounslow Library Service as well.

I'd like to do that. Maybe I'll bring them back with me next time I visit my mom's house (if I can ever find them in my boxes in the attic).

Just finished the latest Sister Fidelma mystery, Dancing with Demons. Loved it.

Anyone use Good Reads?
