    I know I'm way behind the trend of what's current but I just finished Hunger Games. Now I want to see the movie.

    For those of you who watch "Downton Abbey" on PBS, this is the book for you.
    Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by The Countess of Carnarvon. This nonfiction book is written by the present Countess that lives in Highclere Castle. Downton Abbey was filmed at Highclere Castle.

    This book is about the people that lived there during the time period of Downton Abbey. And to whet you appetite more, the 5th Lord Carnarvon help discover the tomb of Tankankhamun in Egypt with Howard Carter. It was his money that financed the dig. Very interesting book.

    Right now I'm reading Holy Blood Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh & Henery Lincoln. A very interesting hypothesis on an important time in history. Opens up a whole new world of thinking and possibilities.
    peace

    A really great read. Couldn't put it down and just fell in love with the characters.

And the all time totally best commentary to the book of John is the Pillar New Testament Commentary-- The Gospel according to John by DA Carson. This commentary to so far superior to all others that it should have another name! I hope to get the whole series eventually. The depth of explanation that is within this book is incredible.
    The Gospel According to John is on my list. I just heard an interview with the author a few days ago. WOW!

    My latest reads have been: William Landay's book Defending Jacob (very good), am absolutely crazy about Jo Nesbo's book The Snowman (and am on the waiting list for some of his others), Harlan Coben's Stay Close and Live Wire, Stephen King's 11/22/63, Jay Brandon's books Executive Priviledge & Grudge Match, Robin Oliveira's My Name is Mary Sutter and James Loewen's book Lies My Teacher Told Me.
