What are you reading?
Let's share book ideas! I'm currently reading Huckleberry Finn. Haven't read it since I was a kid and, no surprise, it's a lot more complex than I remembered :). And a good traveling book! Als...

Still reading Barkskins by Proux, but I have Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance waiting in the wings. Barkskins is a great book, but Hillbilly looks to be very interesting!
It does look interesting. I will be interested in your opinion of it after you read it.
Dakasa47, I did read Hillbilly Elegy and as the name implies, it is a narrative by J.D. Vance. Basically his life story . Part of me was knew he was being honest, but it was so sad. It is about his young life and family from Kentucky and then their move to Ohio. I can only say, his life was rough with a rough family. He was the one in a million that rose above it. It depressed me so that I wanted to throw the book away after I read it. Luckily, shortly after I finished that book, we jumped in the MoHO and went to the beach. I needed to get away from anything to do with that book.
