I really enjoyed Grisham's new one, Ford Country. Short stories this time.

    Saving Henry.a mother's fight to save her son from a rare disease. Very moving.
    Also just finished After Breast Cancer which was recommended to me by this site. Excellent.

    Crow Lake
    That one is on my short list. Can't wait to read it. I am finishing off The Swan Thieves right now--long but very readable. Really enjoying it.

    Old Historical Romances
    Most of what I read are older historical romances. I love Inglis Fletcher's series. Right now I'm reading "Toil of the Brave". I recently found several of her books in a bunch of books at a Thrift Store.

    AS soon as I get a chance to find it, I plan on getting Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars".

    I'm reading the one Jane
    I'm reading the one Jane Austen makes fun of in Northanger Abby. It's The Mysteries of Udolpho. I only wanted to read it to see what was popular back in the late 1700's. It's a dull book and long. I agree with Jane Austen.

    The one I just downloaded from manybooks.net is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We just watched the movie and want to compare them.

    No joke .. this is serious .. Chemo Brain and all
    trashy magazines .. I am unable to concentrate very long ... The 'See Spot .. Run' series is entertaining enough for me, at this point of my journey ..

    It takes me sometimes 10 min. to wish someone a 'Happy Birthday' here on our site .. I know what I want to say .. but sometimes, can't figure out how to spell the word ... SERIOUSLY .. It is depressing and frustrating -

    I enjoy old re-runs of 'Everyone Loves Raymond' and Bernie Mac - because I watched them a while ago with my family (5 years ago or so), and it's easy to keep up with their plots. I am starting to work on smaller puzzles to help with my motor skills and brain functions. When I cook, I use 8.5 x 11 paper .. to write down when I started my roast, potatoes need to be boiled at this time, green beans steam at that time ..etc .. If I have several cooking projects going on all at once .. I burn them, and get flustered. My life ... hoping it gets better soon ..All side effort of chemo - this is why I have been deemed unfit to return to full time or part time employement.

    I am taking note and putting all your recommendations on a growing list, here in my office ..
