I am currently reading Lee Iacocca's "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" and I am finding it quite an interesting read even though I don't venture into those types too often; I am also enjoying The Snowflake by Alice Schroeder on the life of Warren Buffett,now that is good; Very long but worth the time.

Hello Jordon, I have been reading this book titled "The World is Flat" by Thomas L Friedman.I liked the book.It describes the way the digital thing is influencing the world as a whole,the nations and the individuals.Its a book recommended if you like reading non-fiction...and wish to have a global perspective how the companies are run in the present scenario.

well, i have been reading. But so far, i still haven't found an author as good as Julie Garwood. I like the way she writes and escalates the climax of the story.

Hello, the last book I read is called The Avenger of Blood. It was written by Miguel Batista, the MLB pitcher. I had a difficult time putting the book down. I also had to use another book for reference but I really liked the book. My b/f had Mr. Batista autograph my book last September.I can hardly wait until he finishes his next book.

Strangely enough, the last two books I read were about artists (fictionalized accounts). The first is called "With Violets" by Elizabeth Robards. It is based on the true love affair between Berthe Morisot and Edouard Manet, both painters of the Impressionist school. It had me running to the bookshelves to take down old art books and look up their works. Berthe Morisot is as competent an Impressionist painter as Degas, Monet, or Renoir, but she is not very well known. Learning more about her life (even through fiction). The other book is about the artist Fra Filippo Lippi who painted during the Italian Renaissance and his muse (who became his model for the Madonna in his paintings). This novel, "The Miracles of Prato" by Laurie Albanese and Laura Morowitz, even more than the last reminded me how constricted women's lives used to be. It was wake up call to be grateful for all the freedom I have now as a woman living in America. If you like historical novels, both were great reads!
