Reading Again Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone: Here are three books I recently read that I recommend. If you haven't read "Sweetness in the Belly" by Camilla Gibb, you should. It's a remarkable book--the story of a white girl growing up as a Muslim in Ethiopia. A real journey, with multiple settings and well-developed characters--hard to put this one down. When you're done reading Sweetness you can continue your trek through the Muslim world with... "The Places in Between" by Rory Stewart. It's a true story of a white British government worker who walks across Afghanistan just weeks after the Taliban has been ousted. Fascinating reading, provides a real insight and perspective into Afghanistan and the Muslim culture. My final recommend is "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls. This story is also true and equally fascinating. It's about a mother and father who choose to live in poverty, and sometimes even homeless. The parents are gifted and eccentric, the children all equally bright. It's a wild and, at times, unbelievable story that will have you laughing one minute and shaking your head in disbelief the next. Edited May 23, 2008 by Michelle Links removed, please see guidelines.
