recommend it, esp. for those of you who have ever served on any kind of search committee. It has a great cast of characters and the group dynamics are very similar to some that I have experienced in my lifetime. In addition there are a few surprises in the plot line and the ending AND there are recipes.

I've started reading Ilyon Woo's book (non-fiction)Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom.

from amazon:

In 1848, a year of international democratic revolt, a young, enslaved couple, Ellen and William Craft, achieved one of the boldest feats of self-emancipation in American history. Posing as master and slave, while sustained by their love as husband and wife, they made their escape together across more than 1,000 miles, riding out in the open on steamboats, carriages, and trains that took them from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North.


Thanks for the weekly thread, hermetic. Hope everyone has a good week, marching or not!!!! I'll just on outta here.
