Oh and Bytheway...

Some books I have been reading off and on recently and been enjoying are the following:

-A biography about George C. Marshall, written by Mark Stoler.
- "Paradise Beneath her feet" a book about Islamic women and their role in reshaping Islamic society as it changes.
- "Democracy - An American Novel" by Henry Adams. Entertaining and thought provoking - I enjoyed it.

Greg and I have been listening to "Little Women" (which Greg had not read before) on Librivox.org - a great website where you can listen to books online for free. It is a project linked to the Gutenberg project I think.

Greg and I are also reading the "Little House on the Prairie" series together (which is also a new experience for Greg) when we drive in the car - and we really enjoy it. It is fun to share some of my favorite books and childhood favorites with Greg.

This post is really just as a record for myself I think - but also to let you know what we are up to these days...

I'd like to try some of those books as well. Joey and I really enjoyed reading the Little Britches series and on the way to the reunion we started reading Zorro.

Bytheway...Kendall told me you have a current events blog. What is the name of it? I'd love to see it!
