I love to read! Please send me book recommendations via this discussion board.  I'm always in the middle of many books at once......  The true story of a woman living in a fundamentalist Mormon compound where polygamous marriage is practiced. This compound was recently raided by the government because of allegations of child abuse and statutory rape. Very sad moving and fascinating!

 A fun historical-fiction novel about Henry VIII and how the ambitious Boleyns vie for his love......  A great book if you are interested in food and like Bourdain's TV show "No Reservations..."  A beautiful collection of modern short stories. Adams writes evocatively about ordinary people, and somehow makes them extraordinary in their needs and desires....

What I have read recently.....   A pretty good book that is mostly a satire on the upper-middle class and child-rearing. A convicted pedophile enters a pristne suburban community in New England......

 From the author of //The Kite Runner.// This novel explores the suffering and courage of women under the Taliban in Afghanistan. Highly recommended!!!!!

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; color: rgb(247, 177, 238)"> A great book about life at a private school. The book goes through the four high school years of a middle-class girl named Lee Fiora, who chronicles what it is like to suddenly enter the elitist culture of the private school setting. She is highly critical of the world she sees but desperately wants to fit in.

You will hopefully read this in 12th grade! This novel is about an autistic boy who vows to solve a crime that he witnessed one night.......
