I liked The Bible Salesman although not as much as some of his earlier books. Had a chance to hear Julia Spencer-Fleming (she lives not far from here) last fall and love her books. The Dust Bowl one sounds like one I need to read. May I suggest a really short book that you might like: The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. It's short, funny, but also gives one something to think about.Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-29408502845947776342009-01-16T00:16:00.000-06:002009-01-16T00:16:00.000-06:00Diane, I am still reading books from last year tha...Diane, I am still reading books from last year that I haven't finished yet.
