Needed something light after Wolf Hall, so now reading Earth by John Stewart. When I finish, its on to Last Queen, which I started but got sidetracked to reread WH with my sis.

Jon Stewart's Earth is probably about as far away from Wolf Hall as you can get! Enjoy it! We DVR The Daily Show and enjoy it with dinner the next evening.

I love Stewart, and Colbert. The humor in the book is about the same as the show; no big surprises, but lots of fun (if you can call pending doom of the earth fun, but you know what I mean) I so want to go to his Rally to Restore Sanity, but it would mean taking days off from work that I can't do, or spending $300 for a flight to stay for two days.

You probably heard that some guy from CNN lost his job for calling Jon a bigot, ha!

We are planning to go to the rally. Since I am in New Jersey, it is about a four hour drive and we can sleep at our son's in northern Virginia.

[quote=""Misfit""]Ooooh, is this your first Howatch? I can't remember. Finished Seventrees by Janice Young Brooks (very good) and after tossing Corragg for the moment I think I'll settle into Tamarisk by Claire Lorrimer.[/quote]

Yup, it's my first. Definitely enjoying it a lot...
