I'd love to join in... please add me to the ping list.

I'm almost finished with "Nine Parts of Desire" by Geraldine Brooks about women under Islam; an older book, but fascinating and timely nonetheless. The religion, among other things, is inherently misogynistic, and it's amazing that women under it survive at all. The very few positive female role models to come out of the Middle East are really interesting to me, if not a little depressing.

Another favorite was "Bush Country : How Dubya Became a Great President While Driving Liberals Insane" by John Podhoretz. That book really summed up what I love about W. Despite the bad rap, he has big ideas and the fortitude to see them through. Also, even though he's crucified for his verbal gaffes, his speeches are actually among the best ever delivered by a president. It's always amusing to me when the lib lesbos at my office go off on how stupid Bush is, etc. I just love that his critics are so consistently wrong!

If you would like to read the most popular book ever written, having sold 16,000,000 book in the last three years, a book that will give you lots to think about, try " A Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I would really be interested in hearing what people that have read this book think. Thanks for bearing with me.
