			<description><![CDATA[ I'm in the middle of this one right now, it's by Nicholas and Micah Sparks, yes that Nicholas, the one that writes the tear jerker's.<br>Anyway, it's about the brothers taking a guided tour to all the really cool places that we all would like to see, like Machu Picchu, Easter Island. Right now they are in Australia at Ayers Rock, I learned from this book the rock is the largest single stone in the world.

I could have easily read the whole thing tonight. <br><br>The mystery and intrigue has started quickly. I am already trying to figure out who this Jacob guy is and how he knows Benni. He has to know her somehow, otherwise he wouldn't have known what her horse looked like (the one he carved in wood) and he wouldn't have had a picture of her in his wallet. <br><br>And Benni's husband sounds... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Has anyone read Downtown by Anne Rivers Siddons? I just finished listening to it and any of you that were, like me, late teens or older in the middle 60's might enjoy it. It's set in Atlanta during the Civil Rights Movement and Viet Nam War era and was pretty good. That's not really what it was about but they talked of different things during 1966 and 1967 that I'd forgotten about until reading it. They really were moving times.<div class='signature'><br><br><span... ]]></description>

It was written about 15 years ago and I would dearly love an update, unfortunately, Douglas Adams passed away a few years ago.<br><br>But it's about traveling the world to check up on endagered species and what's being done to help them get un-endangered.
