I grew up in the east, and never knew any Mormons personally. That book touched off a whole Mormon reading phase for me. I read "No Man Knows My History" by Fawn Brodie and "Mountain Meadows Massacre" by Juanita Brooks afterward. Both were also excellent.

I began watching that show Dexter on Showtime, and had no idea that it stemmed from books....anyhoo....

Just finished He's Just Not Up for It Anymore: Why Men Stop Having Sex, and What You Can Do About It by Bob Berkowitz & Susan Yager-Berkowitz.
Picked it up at the library. It was in the new non-fiction section. Quick, easy interesting read.
A Free Life by Ha Jin. It's about a Chinese immigrant family in the early 90's. I'm a fan of Jins other books and this one does not diappoint!
Vladimir Putin's autobiography.

The book is great. Over at Amazon I got it, with the Children of King Henry VIII, for a good price- $23.00. Or you can just get it for around $10.00:

I will probably read The Princes in the Tower next. I see myself working my way through all of her books this summer. She writes an excellent history book. I started out with her book on Elizabeth I. It is quite dry but good.
