The Burning Question is...

...What is Angelina Jolie reading? Yes, that's the burning question, according to People magazine. Funny, I would have thought the burning question might have been Is this the summer of the Apocalypse? or Is Vladimir Putin the Antichrist? or Will the pet population double now that Bob Barker is retiring?

My burning question to Angelina Jolie is: How can you possibly find time to read books? The four kids and their multi-cultural adjustment, the housework, the laundry, the child-rearing, wow, that sounds time consuming. When you're not talking about the challenges that you and hunky Brad have overcome together, or talking about how many more kids you want to adopt, how do you have time to work the media, stroll around shopping and still save the world??? The hardship of it all..Yeah, that just burns my buns.

I think a more important question is, what are you reading this summer? I do like to read To Kill a Mockingbird every summer. Other than that, a student suggested The Gods Grew Tired of Us. Any suggestions or recommendations?

JANE AUSTEN!

Ok, sorry, just going into withdrawal already because I just finished reading the last of her books for this year. I should spread them out more.

I've never read "To Kill..." I'll have to pick it up at the library.

Since it's summer, and since you have "To Kill," you've just got to choose something mindless. There, that's my opinion.

Kurt Vonnegut-anything. Plus, child-rearing books. That's quite a combo, isn't it??

Will you think me a complete loser if I said the next Harry Potter???

"The Heavenly Man" is one of my favorites from the past year. It is the true story of a Chinese pastor and the persecuted church in China. It made me feel like a very wimpy Christian, but it was very good.
