I just downloaded this to my kindle about an hour ago, Marlow. Thurgood Marshall is one of my heroes. I am looking forward to reading it.
He's a hero of mine, too. In fact I just got a biography of him by Juan Williams that I'll be starting soon.
Devil in the Grove is one of those books I want to hop up and down about and tell people to read. But then I worry about over-hyping.... If you want to know the other books on my hop-up-and-down list, I'll tell you. Calmly.
About 3/4 of the way through "Under A Wing" a Memoir by Reeve Lindbergh, the youngest child of Charles and Anne Morrrow Lindbergh about her mother Anne, published in 1998. I haven't done any reading before about the Lindberghs but this book has made me consider that I should. They were a fascinating family and should be remembered for more than the tragedy of the kidnapped child. This book was written by their youngestand 6th child. I probably will also read "A Gift from the Sea" which is Anne Morrow's most well known book.
The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck. I swear I'm not intentionally only reading Steinbeck lately, but whenever I go to the book store I never find any of the other books I'm looking for, and there always seems to be some Steinbeck novel I haven't read.
Curently working on "Blind Alley" by Iris Johansen. Only 11 more to go & I'll be caught up on the series Why did I have to start a 16 book series right now!? (bangs head on table)
I'm still waiting for my reserved library book (Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed) to become available,
it was due back last Friday but I've yet to get notice saying it's been checked back in.
Maybe the person liked it a lot & is holding onto it for a few extra days ?
I'll ask when I stop by the library later this week.
Got the email notification today (a week later than it was due to be returned) & collected my book-yay (finally) !
