It holds my attention longer. <BR/><BR/>Marie-Elena,<BR/>I really appreciate your kind words and for taking the time to respond to the readers. Yes, we must support each other. It's definitely from the heart. As for Geoffrey, I think it must be his ministry. :) I spoke to Colin Channer at a book signing and he had nothing but wonderful things to say about Geoffrey. Marie-Elena, thanks again and I'm looking forward to your next work.Stephen A.

For this year's nominees, I highly recommend Ancestor Stones by Aminatta Forna and of course, Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun.<BR/>http://www.hurston-wright.org/hw_legacy_winners.shtml<BR/>thanks again,<BR/>Marie-Elena<BR/>www.marie-elenajohn.commarie-elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036918781758474726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-79339194513544937592007-07-19T12:29:00.000-04:002007-07-19T12:29:00.000-04:00Oh wow!

It is actually non-fiction, but it's written like a novel.

Its been so long since I could read a book without feeling guilty that it wasn't connected to my thesis. There is a LARGE list of books that I want to read. This is DEFINITELY going on the list. Its a perfect fit for my love of historical fiction. I used to read 10-15 books every summer. During my 3 week trip to Japan last summer I read 7 books - 2 of which I completed during the 13 hour plane ride there.Dance_Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907510290044324133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-4259579471539913742007-07-19T08:11:00.000-04:002007-07-19T08:11:00.000-04:00I was initally attracted by the cover of this book...I was initally attracted by the cover of this book when I stumbled upon it at Barnes and Nobles a few months back, then I went on Amazon and saved it in my favorites but never bothered to order it.
