“‘Their Eyes Were Watching God,’ by Zora Neale Hurston. It’s about a woman who married three times. Once for security, once for money and once for love. It’s also about African American culture in the 1920s.”
“I just started reading Barak Obama’s ‘The Audacity of Hope.’ So far it’s very good. I haven’t gotten very far, but I’ve heard from friends that it is excellent.”
“‘Soon I Will Be Invincible,’ by Austin Grossman. It’s actually not released yet. It’s going to come out in June, but they sent me a promo. It’s about superheroes in a real-life setting. It was fantastic. I really loved it.”
“‘Developing the Leader Within You,’ by John C. Maxwell. It’s about becoming better at managing and dealing with people.”
“‘Sins of the Night,’ by Sherrilyn Kenyon. She has a series of books about vampires and vampire slayers. It’s based on Greek mythology, and Artemis is the creator of these dark hunters.”

sgtwolverine - great book. I was wondering if this is the first book you are reading by a Canadian author and I hope you will go on to discover some more of our wonderful writers. May I recommend Jack Whyte, Peter Robinson and Rudy Wiebe and not to forget the ladies, have you read Margaret Atwood? R_I you naughty fellow.

OH YES, forgot to mention, I am reading a mystery by Peter Robinson, Caedmon's Song. A very different story, different from his Inspector Banks crime stories.
