My library system is great. They have guest speakers at different branches almost every week. 2 weeks ago I saw Gary John Bishop, he was very good. Plus the smaller book stores in the St. Louis area sponsor the events, so it gives business to smaller local companies. Anita |

I am reading "Salem Falls" by Jodi Picoult (I somehow missed this one. It is slow so far) and "All the Broken Pieces" by Mia Hayes. I like it so far, but I do not know how it was published with so many editing errors.
Laura, I also enjoyed Any Reichart's book.

I'd be interested in your feedback regarding the two books on Buddhism. I've become very interested in Buddhism this year and would like to learn more about it. I'm thinking of becoming a Buddhist but from what I've learned thus far, I'm not sure my personality would really 'jive' with it.

Dena, from what I've read, being a Buddhist simply means devoting yourself to the Buddhist philosophy.
I just finished the Buddhism for Beginners book. It was simple and readable (written by an American-born Buddhist nun), but a bit heavy on the reincarnation aspect for my liking. I liked No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners by Noah Rasheda even better. And I love everything by Kornfield I've ready so far; an added benefit there is that he's a psychologist like me.
