Hi Diva!

How fun. I've read both books. Let me know if you want to chat about either.

hugs,
Astarte

Elle magazine described it as "A rich surprise", and it is.

This autuor also wrote The Birth Of Venus, which I will also read when I'm finished with this one.

Default Book suggestions

I am partial to the Joan Anderson books - A Year By The Sea, thoughts of an unfinished woman; A Walk on The Beach -tales of wisdom from an unconvential woman; The Second Journey - the road back to yourself.

And, the Trixie series by Dean Koontz. Have to love a man who writes as his dog. Quick reads - 30 minutes tops. Very entertaining and a bit enlightening too. I, Trixie, Who Is Dog and Trixie's Guide to a Happy Life.

The Ascent of Money - a financial history of the world by Niall Ferguson was quite enlightening as well.

I read legal thrillers, cop books, historical non-fiction (emphasis on American history, the history of jazz, the history of baseball, World War II, European history and the Holocaust).

Currently reading "Money to Burn" by James Grippando. Awaiting "Storm Prey" by one of my favorite authors, John Sandford, coming out in May.

Is anyone here using Goodreads (www.goodreads.com)? It's kind of a fun social networking site for bookworms.

Joseph Campbell is another fascinating author of myths. His analysis of mythology in explaining mans relation to the universe in historical, religious, psychological and sociological terms is awesome. There is a dvd out with an interview he did with Bill Moyers discussing his theories which is easier to follow than his writings.
