A clinic like that just got closed down in Detroit and the "doctor" running it busted.

Ghost Rider, Neil Peart.

Peart is a drummer in a Canadian rock band who, lost his daughter in a car accident and then is hit with the death of his wife about 13 months later.

He jumps on his BMW and takes a motorcycle journey all around Canada, the US and even down into Mexico - looking for a way to get past his pain. It's told from his perspective and thru letters to friends and family. I think his final mileage for the trip was 57k miles - it was a long ride and the best parts of the book are his travels to places I have been or passed thru.

A friend of mine just recommended this book. Sounds like it's an easy read and good fun. Not well known on this side of the pond, I think, but I'll look for it.

Hmmmm... I would like to bump up this old thread. A friend's book club read this book and she loaned it to me when I was sick a couple of weeks ago. "Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule" by Jennifer Chiaverini. It's based on the true life of first lady Julia Dent Grant, but it's been fictionalized with lots of dialogue. Next up is a book for work on health literacy, which is one of our organizational focus areas for 2019. I read a book over the summer called "Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews ... perfect summer read, not too short, not too heavy, and a happy ending.

Right now I'm taking turns between Michener's "Hawaii" and "The Change" by Germaine Greer. I've never read anything by Greer before - I had no idea she was Australian! Although I expected a dry book she writes so very well that I find the book engaging.

I'm enjoying a book a dear friend sent me, it's called "The Postcard Killers" by James Patterson & Liza Marklund. I read before I sleep; it has short chapters, so I simply have to read one more! Have to check out more of his/their books.
