    What is everyone reading now and/or read lately

    As for me haven't been doing that much reading lately. Found that I hardly read any more as well. Have to say do have times like this and others don't. Guess it depends on the book itself as well.

    To the End of the Land, David Grossman and Jessica Cohen (Translator)

    A Midwife's Tale : The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. Already viewed the dvd part of it and it was worth the watch. Now, I can't wait the book to learn even more about Ms Ballard.

    Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, Bristol Palin and Nancy French

    This is taken from another thread and/response that I have done regarding Bristol's mother and Tripp's grandmother.

    What is/are Sarah Palin stance/s on family leave act (maternity, paternity, etc)? The reason why I'm asking this here because she didn't bring up in neither of her books. In my opinion this should be a paid one. It should also nation and worldwide as well.

    Is there anyone else on here besides whom are getting beyond tired of her still being in the spotlight? That also goes her putting her husband, kids, rest of her family, and friends being in the spotlight and etc. Even though I'm still like her as a person then a politician.

    She should just go back to her husband and kids. Instead being in the spotlight. Do feel sorry for her kids and the rest of family and everyone whom is associated with her. Because politics have truly ruined her and her husband for sure. Yeah I could be wrong about this.

    Finished reading these few books almost half a mo to 2 mo back now.

    The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents.: One Unconventional Detour Around the World, Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, Amanda Pressner.It was worth the read. Especially, returning the hardcover because found it was little worn. Had to wait until the paperback was released to read it.

    Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir, Elena Gorokhova a week ago. It was worth read. Especially, since found I learned more about the former Soviet Union then what I already knew about before reading your memoir. Can't wait to read more of Ms Gorokhova's life and/or her mothers life now.

    A Father's Love: One Man's Unrelenting Battle to Bring His Abducted Son Home, David Goldman. WOW what a memoir this was and thank you, Mr. Goldman for writing about your ordeal to get Sean back home.

    I agree that Sarah has turned into a reality show personality. She is no longer a viable candidate for a political appointment.

    Folks, political discussions are not to take place in the open forum. If you'd like to start a civilized discussion on this topic in the politics forum feel free. Otherwise this thread needs to get back on what everybody is reading.

    This time of year theres not much time for me to read. It's mostly gardening and food prep related books. One I go thru a lot is the current years issue of Blum's Farmers Almanac. Lots of good info in there. I am taking a 3 day class on Excel for my job. Maybe I can figure out how to build a spread sheet to track my preps better.

    Rereading "Dare to Prepare", "The LDS Preparedness Manual" and "TO Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth". For light reading I'm reading "The Clash of Kings", the next book in the series after "A Game of Thrones". I read Concrete International every month as well as Fur-Fish-Game and The Backwoodsman.

    I forgot to add "Vengeance" whenever Stig posts a new chapter,lol.

    I'm currently reading the first book in this series and it's fantastic. I'm not much of a sci fi/ fantasy fan, but the show made me curious and now I'm hooked.

    Other than that, I'm reading Vengeance here and I'm still following Adrian's Undead Diary. Both of these have me on the edge of my seat.
