2006 Book Update

I've finished:

The Rescue Artist
Edward Dolnick

A true life tale of the theft and recovery of Edvard Munch's The Scream in 1994. Intermixed with the main story are other tales of stolen art and the sometimes miraculous recovery.


Night
Elie Wiesel

Incredibly powerful. His imagery, his down-down-to-earth-everyday style of relating some of the most horrific moments in history brought me to tears on nearly every page.


Ramona the Pest and Ramona Quimby, Age 8
Beverly Cleary

"Comfort Books" from my childhood.


1000 Best Places to See Before You Die
Patricia Shultz

I've made a personal goal to visit 500. In my first 30-some-odd years I've seen 10; I'll really have to pick up the pace.
