Watership Down by Richard Adams is a classic. Always makes me cry at the end.

- Christa

 

Godstalk by P.J Hodgell. It's so unique among fantasy novels. The voice of the heroine is fun, and her situation so dire,her culture so restricted, and much of her memory is missing. And she is trying to be honorable, in the most un-honrable profession...On top of the cool heroine, it's not the typical fantasy, by a long shot. Not built on celtic, arthurian, medieval, etc. mythic bones. Very interesting.- Cathy

 

Just a couple of recent reads: The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey, by Candice Millard. It's a gripping account of Roosevelt's adventure in exploring a tributary of the Amazon. He was one of a kind.

And another: The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness, by Elyn R. Saks. Saks is a professor law and psychiatry at the University of Southern California - a position she arrived at constantly battling schizophrenia and psychotic episodes, while trying to get off medication and not concede to her mental illness. It certainly gives one new insights into the world of the mentally ill. - Marty

 

 

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Reli is a developing as a favorite mine (I'm currently reading it). It's a great antidote to the news about the "War on Terror". - Julie
