Readers Respond...
Good responses to the last blog. I have read redeeming love and its a definitley a favorite. I also have read Kite ruuner and i absolutley love it. Judging by the suggestions I have friends with great taste! Someone came over last night with a gift for me and guess what it was???? It's blue like jazz. So far its very interesting and I have heard great things about it. Also my mom lent me laying my Isaac down. The author is speaking at our women's xmas banquet at church. So after such a blog I am overwhelmed with the response and fate of recieving some great books. haha.

I absolutely loved Blue Like Jazz. Challenged me in ways I didn't think it would. I hope you will be taught to think in a way that you had never before because of that book. Happy reading.
I agree with Hill on Blue Like Jazz - it did the same thing to me! Another Donald Miller book called "Searching for God Knows what" is also pretty interesting.
Thanks for asking about books...I needed a few suggestions myself!
nice. I am just getting introduced to the D. Miller but so far I like him alot
chryslyn, I am booing your kudos to gwen on "wind it up"...no one should desicrate the sound of music like that, and not just because it's a classic. if she had made it sound good i wouldn't care, but because she sounds like a pig in heat i think it's ridiculous. and may i end again with: boooooo!
oh and book suggestions? RUNNING WITH SCISSORS is one of my favorite books EVER! It's the true-life story of Augusten Burroughs (not oprah's book club true life story--haha) and it's hilarious, but disturbing at the same time. Totally great read...it was actually just made into a movie that's in theaters now.
and "Total Waste of Makeup" is a good light read, "Pour Your Heart Into It" is a good book--it's the story of Starbucks, "Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress" is another all-time favorite
I second Shareen's remark on Running With Scissors being disturbing... but I don't know that I would call it a favorite. But if you're bored with kind of the same old stuff that's out there, read it to shake things up I guess.
Did you finish the Poisonwood Bible?
It just so happens that i have met all of our good friend Don. he gave me a hug and posed for a picture that i have framed and next to my bed-side table!
Donald Miller of course!
Yeah I am a little slow on the uptake Nance. I figured it out but a little late. :)
