I'm just going to begin "Clara Callan". I'm not sure what it's about, other than the back of the novel says it's a "story of two sisters and the life-changing experiences on the eve of the Second World War. It's won multiple awards up here in Canada, so I hope it's good.

I'm not reading anything right now, except my school books, but what I was wondering, mckenzie, I am a fellow Canadian and I was just wondering where abouts you're from, province?

Next door to you, Stand Up, Manitoba. Winnipeg, to be exact.

Some summer we had, neighbour!

...And, I just started Bill Bryson's A Short History Of Nearly Everything, which is great, of course.

I've been reading it on and off for a while now. Reminds me a bit of the PBS "Connections" series.

Can't wait to get a copy of Michael Holley's _Patriot_Reign_.

I am finishing up David Baldacci's "Saving Faith." He's a new one for me.

I have three John Sanfords and a couple of Sue Graftons in the wings (both new for me as well).

Same question I asked myself...I just called it realistic.

Seeing the catagories; it makes some sense, but I still think there's a fair bit of close-mindedness happening, as ever.
