The Shelden book about Mark Twain book is superior to every book I've read about The American Master so far. You won't be disappointed, Freethinker.

I'm trying to finish up "They Fought for Each Other: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Hardest Hit Unit in Iraq." I want to get started on my newest collection of Mike Royko columns - Like I Was Sayin'."

"Empire of the Summer Moon" a story about Texas and the Comancheria - a great read.

@downtowngirl, I think it is cool to find people that write so close to town! Thanks for stopping by.

@AprillBrandon, wow, another ABR speaker. It looks like this is a pretty popular series. Do you find there are many in Victoria that are reading the series? Thanks for offering your thoughts.

@Rebecca, it maybe longer than you think if the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words" is true! Thanks for your comment.

@freethinker, are you a Twain fan? What has been the most interesting thing you found so far? Thanks for commenting and your readership.

I'm reading "Mark Twain: Man In White" by Michael Shelden

I'm reading "Art Through the Ages." Lots of pictures. ;)

I actually just got done with "Requiem, Mass" by John Dufresne, another ABR speaker from this year. It was also a wonderful read.

I just finished reading "The Personal History of Rachel Dupree" by Ann Weisgarber. A fantastic read. Ms Weisgarber was a recent presenter at the ABR and she is from Sugar Land.
