With all the Oscar buzz last year about the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was anyone curious about the book on which the movie's screenplay was based? I read Vikas Swarup's engrossing novel a few years ago, while living in ...

I am not talking about the book, though I would love to get my greedy paws on a copy. If I knew which book it really was. Since the Sex and the City movie came out last year, and since at the time it was a prop for the film, and since at the time it sent so many of us scampering off to the book stor ...

This month we read ‘The Stars Look Down’ chosen by Ann. We were all swept off our feet by this tale of a manly professor of medicine winning the heart of a impressionable young woman… hang on, that was Paddy’s version.

Whew! It's hot out there! A week ago we didn't need air conditioning, now it's in the 90s. Crazy. My book club met last night to discuss The Gravedigger's Daughter by JCO. The response was not surprising. Two members didn't get much past 100 pages and no one that finished it was very impressed. Or i ...
