New Book!

Well, I am very excited about being "this close" to being finished with my Garrison Keillor book, "A Homegrown Democrat". His book has been a very thoughtful and insightful account about his upbringing as a Christian Midwesterner and how his experiences shaped his political and personal values.

I have been secretly coveting the book on Casey's nightstand...Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. He has been bugging me to hurry up with the Garrison Keillor book so he can read it, rightfully so, afterall I did buy the book for him. So, the plan is to stealthily replace his book with his other book. Perhaps I should really go find a new book of my own, but not until I finish his.

I expect to start reading the new book by tomorrow. It should keep me occupied into the New Year.

I love the Shopaholic series! I read my first Shopaholic book in like a week. They are so funny and sadly I can relate to her in many ways. I go through phases when reading...being sophisticated isn't something I am on a consistent basis.
