    I like the cover of The Bug. Black and white covers are always so striking.

    Here is my FF for the week:

    Gee, I had Stumbling on Happiness and gave it to a used book store, feeling quite sure I’d never read it, as interesting as it may be.

    My finds are up:

    Though I keep saying it, I just think this is the best idea!

    I’ve been reading Sam Kind of Different As Me, by Ron Hall & Denver Moore, with Lynn Vincent. It’s a fascinating true story about a homeless man who was “a modern-day slave” in the south, and a wealthy art dealer in Texas. Alternating chapters are written in the voice of each man. They meet up in Texas and become unlikely friends. I’m only halfway through, but it’s very well written, and fun to hear the two distinct voices of the characters.

    Oops, that’s “same” kind of different, not “sam” kind of different.
