was wondering what you like to read for yourself? On a CM yahoo group some ladies were discussing Mother Culture books (thanks to the big list from Gina - I've added them all to a list of books I'd like to read!)

I tend to read mostly international non-fiction such as:

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Bael

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen

Princess - Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean Sasson

But, I would really like to broaden my mind and open up to other types of books.

What have you read lately (outside of parenting and homeschool books)?

Hi Heather, I just picked up Three Cups of Tea also.LOL I was very excited to find a book called "500 Great books By Women: A Reader's Guide" This is published by the Penguin Group.  It's organized by theme and fully indexed.  Some interesting books listed including the book I'm reading now.

.

I have trouble finding good stuff to read.  Perhaps we are on the same yahoo group. LOL  I put down my first selections and now I'm reading "Eleanor Roosevelt Volume 1" by Blanche Wiesen Cook. It's very interesting right from the beginning. I'm pleasantly surprised.  I might try a few more biographies after this one.

I usually read fiction but I'm trying to broaden my horizons...

Hi Ladies,

I just created a special place for this discussion over in the new category of "In it for the Long Haul". If I can ever figure out how to move around entries I'll move these over there.  In the meantime, please take the discussion there so it is easier for others to find.

Will do, Gina, thank you.
