Two Good BooksTurning into 2009

Turning into 2009 I burned a lot of firewood and read two good books. We solved lots of Sudoku puzzles and watched lots of movies. I read a great book "Gibbons Decline and Fall" by Sherri S Tepper where 7 women save life as we know it. And immediately after I started another that is separate but feels like a sequel, "The Colour of Distance" by Amy Thomson. They are both in the fantasy quarter of science and fantasy fiction. I so seldom find whole books that enthrall me anymore! -lora bennett-
