Thanks ladies for suggesting some good books. I've been in a horrible drought for a long time. My favorite John Irving book was "A Prayer for Owen Meany" which we read as a group on this Board about a year ago (a second reading for me.) I guess one of the best books I've ever read would have to be "Stones from the River" by Ursula Hegi. I thought it was a pretty remarkable story. Also a great book for women in particular is the "Sixteen Pleasures", even if it was written by a man. It's about a woman who goes to Florence to help in a post-flood art/book restoration project.
On another topic, my husband and I can't believe how many tournament games have been real cliffhangers. It's great to see so much parity. We all love March Madness here.
