The architectural boat tour in Chicago is great; been on it at least 3 times.

Good idea, Priscilla.

Hello All,

Being a New York Knicks fan, in particular a Jeremy Lin fan, I recently downloaded on Kindle 2 books about God and Jeremy Lin. For those of you who don't know Jeremy was a graduate of Harvard they haven't had a basketball star there since 1950!
Anyway, is anyone interested in reading these vastly inspirational books? I have the names at home on my Kindle.

Finished Devil in the White City.  Definitely recommend it.  My new boss saw me reading it and raved about what a great book he thought it was.

I need to get the new Harlan Coben book.

Might be my Mother's Day gift to myself (one kid is unemployed and one is saving for a car  )

Went to the library this evening and am on the waiting list for 3 books 

Stephen King's - the one that is about JFK and the 60s (forget the name).

Harlan Coben's latest (Stay Close ? or something similar).

And Investing for Dummies.  My new boss is quite the investor and trades lot of options - which are Greek to me.  One of his "specialities" is something called covered calls which I am responsible for recording on the books.  He's explained covered calls to me, but I'm still kind of clueless.  In addition, he has opened a SEP IRA for me which means I'm in control of investing it.  Don't want to lose my retirement funds, so guess at the ripe old age of 50 I'm going to start playing the market

well Hannah is out of junior high and will join the ranks of high schooler in the fall ...

Sarah will be going to 8th grade and for the first time was given a required summer reading list ... Catching Fire and Mockingjay... she hated Hunger Games ... Hannah liked them all ...gonna be a long summer ... the school library will be open oWednesdayay mornings to take AR tests that will count toward next years required points and to check out books ... this is a new thing too ... I foresee lost books and parents that can't get their kids to the library between 8 and 11:30 being mad at those who get ahead ...

need a good book/nook to read ... I think between what is unread on my Nook and hard copies I have , I have too many choices and just can't narrow it down ... book overload if you will... didn't help tThursdaysday a teacher handed me a bag of about a dozen books to read or pass along and all but two I plan on reading

Just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King this morning.

Long book (849 pages) but well worth the read.

WHo can read a book? I can't.  lucky to get  threw the sports page in The Washington Post.

Reading is one of my guilty pleasures - I read wherever and whenever I can.

Haven't read a newspaper in years though; I read all my news online - usually CNN or MSN.

Loved it and highly recommend it.
