Hullo Andrew and Happy Holidays!

I very much enjoyed a book that took me a while to read called The Secrets We Kept. The premise is the women who worked for The Company (i.e., the CIA) during the 1950's and how the book "Dr. Zhivago" eventually got published. It happened outside of the USSR and while it takes place on 2 separate continents with different POV's, they are divided into different parts (East and West) with the timelines being similar.

Learned a lot from this book and that's always a plus.

>4 Carol420: I really enjoyed The Haunting on West 10th Street. Quite a departure for the author from her other books.

I very much enjoyed The Secrets We Kept and also just finished My Effin' Life by Geddy Lee. Sometimes, one's rock star heroes are honest enough to continue to be heroes in real life.
