Project Read, The Testament

My friend Lisa loaned me her copy of John Grisham's The Testament over a year ago, and finally I read it. My favorite part of the book was the lawyer's adventure in the jungles of Brazil/Bolivia in his quest to track down Rachel and Rachel's and his talks on the subject of God. How cool that Grisham used the character Rachel to share the Gospel!

Project Read, Jane Eyre

Received a copy of Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) from my dear friend, Mel, who highly recommended it after reading it late last year. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it very good, a bit dark and not at all what I expected. On the matter of the story being a dark one, I appreciate what Mel had to say about it: "It enhanced the beauty of the good things that happened."
