Book Club Updates 1 **The Red Tent by Anita Diamante: This is the BEST BOOK I have read this year SO FAR! This book is based on a short old testament chapter which glosses over a female character. The author takes this character, and through much research weaves a wonderful tale about women and kinship in biblical times.Don't be wary about the religious overtones of the book. It is more about the characters. YOU MUST GET THIS BOOK! Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut: I never understood why Kurt has been considered by many as a sci-fi writer. Some of his stuff is sci-fi, but not really. I think it is hard to categorize Vonnegut. This was my favorite so far of his books. His humorous sarcasm and ability to make his readers think about life issues really showed in this book. I still have many of his books to read, my husband has read more than me, but so far, this is a good read. I highly recommend it.

The Rapture of Canaan by Sheri Reynolds: This writer has not gotten the recognition I feel she deserves. Her writing is truly beautiful, and her stories are as well. The character development and relationships in The Rapture is heart warming. The writing is descriptive and emotional. I am also reading her other book, A Gracious Plenty, which I enjoy as well. Before Women Had Wings by Connie May Fowler: The bookclub agreed the writing in this was really beautiful. The passion and emotions in this book came through in a touching and soft way. The story, touching and sad at times, is also uplifting. A sweet and emotional story. Naked by David Sedaris: If you want a rip-roaring good time while reading a story, this is it. It is laugh out loud funny. Very fun. The bookclub enjoyed it. Don't read it late at night next to your sleeping significant other...you may awaken him/her. Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells: The relationships among these women were so developed and descriptive, it almost depressed me that I did not have a circle of friends quite like this one. It describes the strength of women in their toughest and celebrated moments, and also supports the argument that women are not the weaker sex. This strength is drawn from our female relationships as a support system. A good "Chick" book. Help support this site by purchasing books from Amazon.com.
