By David S.
Kidder and Noah D. Oppenheim
It’s the
end of November and we finally finished Intellectual Devotional: Biographies. It’s our second book by Kidder &
Oppenheim, and it took less than a year to read. I think we started last April 2014. We read at mealtime, usually breakfast. It gave us food for thought and discussion. We often found ourselves looking up more information
on our iPads. Some of the biographies
were like a history review. Others were
people we’ve never heard of. It kept our
minds working and gave us something to discuss besides the daily barrage of
depressing world news. Reading together also
gives us a reason to interact with one another, instead of looking at our
glow-boxes at mealtime. All of the
Intellectual Devotionals are definitely a good intellectual, nonreligious books
and great to share with a partner. We’re
moving on in the series to Modern Culture.
Guy Noir
and the Straight Skinny (Audible version)
By Garrison
Keillor
Guy Noir
and the Straight Skinny was a great audio book. Read by
Keillor himself, it was nonstop FUNNY!!!
There are more than a few one-liners that kept us laughing all the way
from New Jersey to Virginia. The Audible
version is four hours and eight minutes.
The time goes very quickly as Guy Noir finds his way through a series of
misadventures with a very unusual cast of characters and a tapeworm. Very entertaining!!!
Wrecked
( A Reagan Reilly Mystery Book 13) (audio book)
by Carol
Higgins Clark
I think we
may have been at a slight disadvantage by starting the Reagan Reilly Mystery
series with Wrecked: Book 13. I
didn’t discover that it was a series until well after we had finished the audio
book. I was surprised that Reagan Reilly
was the MAIN character in the mystery.
She definitely seemed like one of the main characters, but that there
were others that were close to her in importance. There were several interesting storylines,
which were woven without graphic violence.
All ended well without too much spine-chilling suspense. It was a ‘cozy’ mystery. At 10 hours, it is a good audio book for a
long road trip.
