I read half of "We Were The Mulvaney's" in 2011. I don't remember why I didn't finish it, and I think I got rid of the book as well, so I'd have to acquire it again if I want to give it another go. Frankly, I'm not that bothered, although I wouldn't mind exploring some of her other work. I absolutely LOVED "Blonde". I don't think it is the book you are thinking of though, because "Blonde" is all about Marilyn Monroe. I really knew nothing about her prior to reading the book, and now I have a list of her movies I want to watch when I get home. Thanks to "Blonde", I'm really fascinated with her right now.
just finished "OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH" by Lewis Black- - Funny and well written - NY Times best selling author Black covers just about every religion and questions every one- -A non-practicing Jew , he writes a really funny book- -I recommend it
Journals of the 49s: Far West and Rockies series: wherein my families wagon train adventures coming from Illinois to Salt Lake and south with food, water and Mormon problems. One passage concerning a gathering of different wagon trains, says something like--" the _______ were there and as usual ,were drunk and spouting obscenities! I LOVE IT.!
The noticeably stouter Book of General Ignorance ( now 26% more Ignorant ) Great Coffee Table book For example ! Everyone knows you can only fold a sheet of paper in half 7 Times But how many people Know That if you could Fold a standard Thickness Sheet of paper Without Restriction After just fifty one folds you would have a tower of paper 100 million miles High
Teehee, I remember when she was in the dutch house of represenatives. Never read a book of her though...
I just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger. I LOVED it. I think, being a twin, I was able to relate to it on a deeper level. Life is just a smidgen less enjoyable now, because I'm not reading that book anymore. I may read "The Catcher in the Rye" next, but I haven't fully decided yet.
What's this one about? Is it an ancient aliens book? I like reading stuff like that, Zechariah Sitchin
It's based on the theory of Earth Crustal Displacement. being the cause of the demise of an ancient antediluvian world wide civilization. No aliens. It's very interesting and a good read, but I doubt Hancock has proved his claims. Nevertheless I enjoy reading this stuff. I have lots of it. A really good one is Christopher Dunn's Giza Power Plant. Very good. I've always been interested in the Great Pyramid and this book is just loaded with facts about it. Dunn is an engineer and he attempts to reverse engineer the pyramid. Great stuff, particularly interesting is his rational for the builders using power tools in its building and their use of acoustics. If you've ever read Secrets of the Great Pyramid by Peter Tompkins you'll love this book. Tompkins gives you the history of the exploration of the pyramid but leaves many questions unanswered. Dunn addresses them all.
