Reading will continue...

I am nearly done with my school quarter.  I have been doing a lot of reading...but it just hasn't been books. I have spent a lot of time on Google Books and the Google News Archive.  Want to read some old newspapers?  Old magazines?  I was reading a Good Housekeeping from 1886, some Spokane Daily Chronicle from 1902 to 1919 and some old Spokesman Review from 1902 to 1924.  It is very fascinating the things you find on Google.  I am doing research on the Campbell House in Spokane for a project.  It has lead me to some neat things online!  If you are interested, let me know, I can show you how to get there.  Did you know there are tons of free books online?  Anyway, I am nearly done listening to Water for Elephants...and I plan to finish reading another book I started earlier in the quarter...and I plan to read A LOT over the Christmas break!  Let's see if I can average 3 books a week!  I have quite the stack I want to get through.  In the meantime...let me know what you are reading.  Any recommendations?

Elleander Morning by Jerry Yulsman is a good read. I'm almost done with it and can't put it done. It about what the world would be like if some things in the past didn't happen. You should look it up.
Happy Reading!
