[Is it crazy that I'm happy to have a book to talk with you about for once?] I should log the books I read... good thought.

I couldn't believe it. I have to check on the others, but I recently ordered Code of the Woosters because we didn’t have it. I couldn’t believe it.

My favorites are <i>The Code of the Woosters</i> and <i>The Mating Season</i>. (One of my all-time favorite characters is Roderick Spode - Hail the Black Shorts!)In general, I like the novels more than the short stories. I also enjoy the <i>Blandings Castle</i> stories.

And non-fiction is a whole 'nother deal. Hannah - we don't have a lot of PG Wodehouse here, but I've been trying to fill in the holes. What are the MUST HAVES, anyway?

I totally see that. I guess that the reading list (subject matter) would determine male involvement, as I myself, tend to stick to 1-2 genres. Good point about the different approaches.

If you haven't read "Escape from Slavery" by Francis Bok I recommend it as well. He's Sudanese and was kidnapped into slavery at age 7 then escaped 10 years later. It's Elon's common reading this year, and Bok is speaking on campus Sept. 20. I’m on the list for Shake Hands with the Devil (on order) and Freakonomics (checked out) at the Elon library.
