I saw a movie with Morgan Freeman of this title years ago. My local bookstore ordered this book for me and when it did so, the sales guy said, "Oh, yeah: the South African story?" And I said, "No, that's a movie by the same name. This is different." <BR/><BR/>I based that statement on nothing, as I had done zero research on the book.<BR/><BR/>Naturally, as it turns out, that Morgan Freeman movie was based on the book. But the book is a much fuller story that far exceeds the time line of the movie. I am going to feel a little silly the next time I see that guy in my bookstore.Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-91220106610582564302009-02-20T09:11:00.000-06:002009-02-20T09:11:00.000-06:00Thank you for these recommendations!

I'm not-so-patiently waiting for book 3 to arrive. I'm # 22 of 24. I look at it as a practice in patience. Not my strength.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-13203429998425384682009-02-19T14:19:00.000-06:002009-02-19T14:19:00.000-06:00I'm struggling to find time to read lately, and wo...I'm struggling to find time to read lately, and would really like a nuts and bolts accounting of where and when you clear out time to do so. I just finished Interred With Their Bones, a Shakespeare inspired thriller which I really enjoyed, and plan to discuss it in the Kindle post I've been drafting for weeks in my head now. <BR/>I really must go read I Captured the Castle. I somehow always confused it with The Glass Castle and thus can never remember what it's really called when I'm looking at the library.E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-62186477007449481632009-02-19T10:42:00.000-06:002009-02-19T10:42:00.000-06:00Told you about this book the other day, but Firefl...Told you about this book the other day, but Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. I am still reliving bits of it in my mind (and probably overanalzying). Also recently read Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult (sp?) which is about a first time mom. It was good and I related to so many of her emotions that she was going through (without ruining the book she carried hers a little further than I did, although the thought crossed my mind). Not sure what to read next, but may look for some of the ones on your blog at teh library.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432188518765191078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-22973378730996484272009-02-17T19:45:00.000-06:002009-02-17T19:45:00.000-06:00I just finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and I ...I just finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and I really liked it. My best friend loaned it to me with the proviso that she had begun it and couldn't get into it, quitting after 100 pages. Our tastes are generally pretty similar, so my expectations were quite low which might have influenced my final opinion. Whatever, I liked it and recommend it.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-39487937804948244622009-02-17T17:22:00.000-06:002009-02-17T17:22:00.000-06:00I LOVE Hesser's "Cooking For Mr. Latte."
