Grisham is fairly clean. I am not sure why I haven't read his latest -- I
mjust have so much else to read and it has not been a big deal to me. I use
to go for his new books as soon as they came out.

I love Karon -- I forget her books are "secular" -- I have the latest one --
A Common Life, but haven't read it yet.

YES! Someone like me. I get caught up and read and read and the world is just
passing by...... I do go on reading binges every now and then. I tell my
family, "I am going to read this book this weekend" and they know that means
Mom will not be averrable much. They don't mind. I don't do that too often!
I shared here once -- I think -- that is hit me that I would be 48 when my
younger child headed off to college in 9 year. I wondered what I would do
then! My hubby said quite matter of factly "You will curl up in your chair
and read and read and read to your heart's content with no interruptions!"
He has modified that lately to say I would do that and I would never be
behind on my Bible Study again! I think he may be right! Bible Study and
reading ... throw in some great music and time with friends and hey -- not a
shabby life! Maybe the empty nest won't seem so empty after all! But that is
9 years away and while I know time flies, I am not going to dwell on that for
now!
