    And I'm halfway through this and it's interesting, but really creepy and if you hated the Koch brothers before...

    Just finished. Not bad, but I had high expectations and I wasn't a huge fan of the authors writing style with the super short chapters and jumping back and forth in time.
    Wow, I love the writing in this book. I'm teaching historical fiction to my students right now, and I'm using excerpts from it to model descriptive scene development. The imagery and figurative language beautifully capture the story's place and time.

    Miss Anne in Harlem looks fantastic. I'd never heard of it.

    I finished this today - oh man, it's so crazy good. Here's a blog post. (Very short). http://mybookclubforone.blogspot.com/2016/04/when-book-moves-you.html

    I like it so much I would buy it to send to people. (I got my copy used.) If you want one, let me know.

    I want one, but you don't have to get it for me. I just thought maybe there was a chance you were the author and had extra copies laying around. :wink: A glowing recommendation like that cannot be glossed over though. I will read it!

    I just finished this absolutely, completely, utterly amazing book. One of those rare books that leaves me awed, stunned, nearly overwhelmed.

    Kent Nerburn, Chief Joseph & the Flight of the Nez Perce: The Untold Story of an American Tragedy

    Read that too...amazing book...sad and honest. I'm currently reading Lord of the Rings(again!) by JRR Tolkien ...my all time favourite book and also The Sacred History: how angels, mystics and higher intelligence made our world by Jonathan Black...really interesting....

    Read the first and started the 2nd. Very different but sadly, in some ways there are some similarities. What happens in our cities here in the US that is swept under the rug is a crying shame.
