I joined the book club at our local library, and the book they were reading this month was "The Shack" by William P. Young. I tend to avoid explicitly Christian fiction because to my taste they spend too much time talking about God and not nearly enough time advancing the plot. I had never heard of the book before but apparently it's well-known among Christian groups. I could write a whole rant and may someday about how the author let the reader down and in what ways, but I'll spare you. If you haven't read it yet, don't bother - or at least don't worry about being in a hurry to read it.
Next month's selection - To Kill A Mockingbird - made me much happier.
In the meantime, I read the new Maeve Binchy novel (Minding Frankie), Keep The Change by Steve Dublanica (about tipping), and a couple of other books that I can't remember right now. I need to start keeping a list.
