His previous articles about her have been less than flattering.......I don't expect him to suddenly change.
True.....could have been worse.......just wouldn't care to spend my summer at my house with a journalist hanging on my fence. Would probably make me a little hostile after awhile......which I'm sure would be a reaction he would like.

Oh well, in a way it's a win-win for both of them. McGinnis gets pre-publicity for the book, SP gets her name and mug out there in the media. The only part she probably doesn't like is that she won't be sharing the income from the book . . . unless, of course, she finds a reason to sue . . . which she probably will. Stay tuned. Trust me, MSM likes this 'way too much to let it drop.

It's not a new book but it's called Love You, Mean It written by four 9/11 widows and their journey from grief to happiness
It is a great book as I can identify with many of their emotions of being a widow

That sounds interesting. May take a look at it. Do you think it would be something good for those friends of our that their son lost his wife recently? I doubt he is at the point to read something like that anytime soon, but maybe if they (his mom) read it she might have more insight to help him?

I would recommend it to the parents to read; the son needs to find other widowed people to talk to as they are the only ones that understand There is a great widows and widowers chat on AOL that I have hung with for almost ten years now

Ok great I will suggest that to them also. I know he feels a lot of guilt that he should have been able to do more. Or if maybe they hadn't moved it wouldn't have affected her asthma.....all these mind games it is playing with him right now.

It will take a few years for him to get his equalibrium back and until then it will be a rollercoaster ride but if he can find a great support group that will be 3/4 of the battle

I just finished John Grisham's Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer. All in all, a decent book.........very easy to read......... but wouldn't be on the top of my list.

I haven't read a Grisham book since Run Away Jury and that's been some little while ago. Are you still considering reading Pat Conroy's South of Broad? If so, I'd like to persuade you to start with Conroy's Beach Music, which is a better book. S of B is a good read, but Beach Music is one you won't forget. It starts in Rome, but the story soon moves back to the coast and islands off the coast of S. Carolina. You have to commit a certain amount of your time to it because it's a big book with a lot of complex characters. But, those characters are wonderful and the plot takes you from pain and sorrow to glorious joy and back again. One of the best fictions I've ever read.

Finally! The Lion, Nelson DeMille's anxiously awaited sequel to The Lion's Game is in a book store near you ... or Amazon take your pick. We who hold a deep affection for DeMille's protagonist/anti-hero, John Corey, are thrilled The other 2 books I just ordered will have to wait until I read this one. Here's the publishers weekly review. Asad Khalil (aka "The Lion"), the ruthless Libyan terrorist who menaced ex-NYPD cop John Corey in The Lion's Game (2000), returns to the U.S. 18 months after 9/11, bent on finishing old business in DeMille's fast-paced fifth John Corey thriller (after Wild Fire). In Los Angeles, Khalil dispatches the last of the eight American pilots who dropped the bombs that killed Khalil's family in the historic 1986 raid on Tripoli. In New York City, a daring encounter with Corey, a member of the federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force, and Corey's FBI agent wife, Kate Mayfield, who's also a member of the ATTF, sets the stage for the mano a mano struggle both Corey and Khalil crave. DeMille splices gripping action scenes with accounts of Khalil's horrifically inventive attacks and the ATTF's futile countermeasures. While Corey isn't much more appealing than his foe, those who enjoy starkly black-and-white battles between good and evil will be satisfied.

p.s. If you have not read The Lion's Game ... by all means, go - buy - do. It's available in paperback or get it at the library. A disturbing book for sure, but a great read. It came very close to predicting 9/11.
