The Red Tent

The Red Tent
by Anita Diamant

I laid in bed this morning finishing this book. I makes sense to me that I read this book in bits and pieces as I woke up or went to sleep as this book is about a woman's personal time and woman's issues in general.

The interesting part of this book for me is that it is based on Biblical events. I know the story of Jacob and his sons fairly well from my childhood. So, I kept waiting for the next big event to happen. But big events to men in the story were not as important to the woment, and vice versa.

This book had sex, violence, and unusual culture practiced regarding birthing, periods, and idols. At least they were unusual to me. But I do like learning about other culture. I just put this paragraph out there as a warning to children or very conservative readers. This might not be the book for you.

The Fourth Estate

The Fourth Estate by Jeffrey Archer

I just recently finished listening to this book on tape. You can mooch it from me by using Bookmooch. http://www.bookmooch.com/m/detail/0694516899 I will send it to you and you pay nothing. Visit http:///www.bookmooch.com for more information.

This book was one of those books that started at the end of the story, and then went back to the very beginning, and worked its way toward the end again. It kind of made me sad and reflective of society when it was all finished. The story was very believable, as I remember similar headlines in the paper when I was growing up.
