I just finished Game Change and loved it. History in the making, and all the good and bad of the 2008 presidential campaign. Of course, one could say I'm a bit of a political junkie.

I just finished Matt Ruff's "Fool on the Hill." I had previous read his novel "Set This House in Order: A Romance of Souls" and it remains in my "top ten." His style could be called "speculative fiction" (not quite sci-fi or fantasy) and are a lot of fun to read.

Anyone read Donald Miller's books? I just finished "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years."
Is there a book list?

Tonya --

Good news! There is a rumor that Timothy Egan's "The Big Burn" will be the selection for the 2010 "Spokane is Reading..." program. When details emerge I'll post them here.

Also, the Space Between Us was good.

Anything/EVERYTHING by Timothy Egan is Fantastic. Also, The Art of Racing in the Rain and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan were recent favorites.

Not to override you Mark, if there are ANY extras, the Launchpad coworker space has book shelves waiting for books to share... smile

Susan -- A vacation and the opportunity to read? You must not have had any kids in tow... :)

Thanks for the recommendations! I've heard great things about The Help and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is the first I've heard of Little Bee, however. It looks like the library has all of the titles if anyone wants to try them out on the cheap.

And as a shamelessly self-promoting plug: Susan, if you are done with your copies of the books and your bookshelves are full, you can donate them to the library as a tax-deductible gift!

I was recently on vacation and had the opportunity to read. Here are three books that I highly recommend: The Help, Little Bee and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Great reads, all.

Aaron and Joy --

Thanks for your comments and insights... finding a balance in a world of few limits is proving to be a really hard thing to do, no? Thanks for the tip about BookTV -- if it is "boring" TV then it is probably worth devoting some time to it :)
