Enjoyed your 100 List!
I love lists. I am working on a “things to take on trips” list. We travel a lot. We are missionaries on deputation. Gone every weekend. Every.Single.Weekend. I need that list.
I love to read. Mostly mysteries. Because I don’t have to think when I read them. That’s why I read. I do enough thinking all the rest of the time.
But occasionally I do read stuff where I actually learn something. I like biographies, and books having to do with history. I saw the end of an interview with Diane Ackerman on C-Span recently so now I want to read “The Zookeeper’s Wife”. I really like the way she writes. This book is based on the true story of the zookeeper and his wife in Warsaw, Poland, who sheltered Jews during WWII.
I haven’t read anything by Jodi Picoult but several friends have recommended her recently. So I will try her, too.
I should go make a reading list
I really enjoyed Water For Elephants! I’m going to have to check out some of the others on your list.
