two more book suggestions

I reommend two additional books: Country Driving, A Journey Through China by Peter Hessler.
This book has gotten great reviews and was #24 on Amazon's recommended book list. Also,
I recommend The Faith Club, A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew - Three Women Search for
Understanding by Idilby, Oliver and Warner. This book "weaves the story of three women, their
three religions, and their urgent quest to understand one another". This seems so congruent
with our book club. See you Friday!
