    That crash was rather suspicious.

    Having finished the book, I think there's more to the story than was ever told, but the authors came to no conclusions--except that we don't have any idea what really happened to Flight 370.

    Next up, Identical Strangers, a memoir of twins separated at birth and later reunited.

    Have we talked about Eve Schub’s Year of No Clutter? she wrote the book about a year with no sugar, which I did not read, having no interest in cutting out sugar.

    anyways, her clutter book is about the THe Hell Room on the second floor of her old Vermont farmhouse where her family throws all stuff in, and shits the door. She is a hoarder and cannot get rid of item. One of her young dagjters had the hoardrr tendancy.

    It was a fast read, and it was ok, not great.

    I think it was someone here who recently mentioned "Where the Red Fern Grows." It's a young adult classic that I somehow missed when I was a young adult. I just read it and enjoyed it, so appreciate the recommendation.

    Before the library closes for the 3 day weekend I got novels by Alice McDermott and Nella Larsen as well as Lauck's autobiography Blackbird, Derrick Jensen (recommended in these forums) The Culture of Make Believe and Nixey's The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World.

    Journey to Dyatlov Pass by Keith McCloskey--probably the fifth book I've read on the subject. I doubt I'll learn anything new, but the story fascinates me.
