OFF Readers--What did you read/What are you reading?
I've just read Couldn't Keep It to Myself, which is a collection of essays written by female inmates at York Correctional Institute. (forgot about that one! - but I loved it, too) Wally Lamb was teaching the inmates to write, and he ended up with stories that were well-written, with some editing, and good enough to put into a book of their essays. There is also information about each inmate and their difficult family-of-origin lives. Very enlightening and interesting. I'll check out the collection that followed this one at the library this afternoon - can't wait.

I finished reading Sharon Kay Penman's Welsh trilogy, but for the life of me I can't remember the first book, which dealt with Joanna, the illegitimate daughter of King John, and her marriage to Llelewyn, the Prince of Wales, and the wars between England and Wales. The second book was "Falls the Shadow," the third "The Reckoning." I really like Penman; I have now read six of her books, and they are so vivid and accurate in their historical details. Her books on Henry and Eleanor of Aquitaine were amazing; I had read a biography of Eleanor and it was right on to the fiction.
I also read "The Lady Elizabeth" by Allison Weir, a wonderful historian who is now writing historical fiction.
I'm now reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. This was my brother's book and he lent it to me, so I have to fini**** before Ieave for Louisiana.
