Oprah's Pick and Okebookclub's Pick
Oprah had an interesting show yesterday on intersex gender inspired by the book she selected for her book club, the novel Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, which has an intersex narrator.
What did we select for our next meeting? We had two suggestions at yesterday's meeting: The Honk and Holler: Opening Soon by Billie Letts and Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour. Sounded perfect since we just needed one for October and one for November. Alas, October is looking so busy we may not meet. Here is what we decided finally in the carpark of Cavagnaro's; it's Louis L'Amour in November, the book that is not a western and is set in Siberia of all places.

Pirate's Daughter
I have mentioned the online book club that I belong to in previous posts. Well I have been getting from the book club chapter 1 of a book called, The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezaire-Thompson, a writer originally from Jamaica. The book will be available on amazon.com October 2007. The True History of Paradise was Margaret's first book and amazon readers have given it 5 stars.
