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!

Also highly recommended, from my just-finished pile, Motoring with Mohammed. It's nothing about war -- it's a travelogue from the 80s, about Yemen. Beautifully written.

It does look interesting. I will be interested in your opinion of it after you read it.

Still making my way through Romanovs 1613-1918. I am up to Nicholas and Alexandra the last Emperor of Russia. I have read a lot about them so I know what happens at the end. Still a very sad story.

The Europeans by Henry James

I finished "Ladies of Liberty" a couple of days ago and right now I am on the last third of John Grisham's Camino Island. The book is about the very thing I am thinking is the reason for this book. First, it is supposed to be a mystry, but then it is about writers block and authors writing a bunch of **** because they cant thnk up a good story line. That's what I get just grabbing a book because I know the authors name.
