What Chicks Are Reading

December 2001 | Chicks' Reading Archive »
 
All the Best by George Bush

This is a book of letters, thoughts and correspondence President Bush put together from the time he was a pilot in the Navy through his presidency. I found the book very interesting and revealing. President Bush included letters which were funny, sad and as well as ones that showed his wonderful sense of pride in America, his family and friends. It was truly fun to read a book about a President with so much class and integrity.  Chick Julie
  

Believing It All by Marc Parent

Believing It All: What My Children Taught Me About Trout Fishing, Jelly Toast and Life.  I believe in reading things that warm your heart, reaffirm your beliefs and make you look inside yourself. This book does just that. A family, raising their two small children in New York decide to move to the country and have the Dad stay home full time. This book is his writings on the lessons of life his children taught him during their day to day experiences. My favorite line is, "The words are mine. The wisdom is theirs."

This book made me look back on the days of having toddlers in the house, and all the joy and wonder that they saw in the world around them. Read it, buy it for everyone you know, and sit and enjoy!! Chick Lorene
  

Journey by Danielle Steel

I'm embarrassed that I even bought the book, but I did. I haven't read a Danielle Steel in about 8 years. I was at the grocery store checkout and I could choose between an Enquirer and a Danielle book. I had already read all the latest tabloids so I chose Journey. I was looking for a brainless relaxing read. I got as far as page 30 and was bored to death. Talk about brainless! So predictable. Forty minutes was enough for me to remember that I hate her books. I gave it to my roommate who lasted until page 37. It's no wonder they sell so many Enquirers. Chick Karin
  

We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates

I bought this book to read on a flight back to Wisconsin. I've always enjoyed reading Oprah's Book Club selections, but honestly, this one was a dud. I've been "reading" this book for two months now, and it's only 450 pages long. It's not the kind of book I look forward to reading; rather, it's the book I keep telling myself I should finish someday.

Sorry Oprah, either I'm suffering from sensory overload being pregnant, or I'm just not feeling the "ways of the hearts and compelling ties of love" as noted on the book's front cover.  Chick Kristin
 
The World to Come by Ruth Montgomery

After September 11, 2001, I really had my doubts about where the world was going to be in the next 20 years. My aunt recommended this book to me and said it would answer a lot of questions. For those of you who don't believe in psychics you may find some very convincing material about what and how people see into the future with author Ruth Montgomery. She used to be a writer for the Washington Post and this was her last book before she passed away. It gave me some great answers and possibilities of what is to come. And those of you who are religious, don't worry; she includes you too. It's a quick read and quite interesting. Chick Jana
