Whatcha readin?

I've had some lows in my summer reading. I hate to admit it, but I read a book called "Death Rides a Chesnut Mare." It as a buck at the used book store. It's about a girl pretending to be a boy who rides around killing the folks who killed her father. Can't beleive I read it. But now I'm on one of my higher points. For my birthday Therese bought me "A Short History of England" at an antique store in Yellville. I can't put it down. Why isn't this unAmerican history required reading in school? Maybe they did and I didn't, or maybe I just don't remember. Hmmmm.
