I'm a new mother and am working full time. I just need something to do for myself. I love reading and I figured having someone to talk to about my books would be a fun, relaxing thing for me. I just a need a little escape sometimes. My husband is not the reading type. Well, anyways, I just finished Ken Follett's World Without End and it was GREAT! Now, I am reading The Poisonwood Bible. Picked it up at half-price books. Anyone read it before? Seems pretty good so far but I'm only on the 50th page.

Anyways, Hello Everyone!

Hello and welcome stennix!

No, I have not read, "The Poisonwood Bible", I hope you enjoy it and share your thoughts.

I have read the Poisonwood Bible. I love it! It is one of my favorite books. Barbara Kingsolver is a very good author. Hope you are enjoying it!

I appreciate your input. I am looking forward to reading the rest of it now.

Welcome to the community.

I thought The Poisonwood Bible was excellent. It has been a few years since I read it, though. Recently, I read Barbara Kinsolvers non-fiction book, now I can't recall the title, maybe Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?, anyway, it is about her adventures with a year of trying to 'live off the land'. I have to admit I liked her fiction work better.

Yeah, that is the name of it. My sister really liked that book and I have it on my list of things to read. I just love Barbara Kingsolver's fiction definitely. It is so amazing what she does with language.

Kingsolver has written a few books. I haven't read any, but wasn't Poisonwood Bible part of the Oprah club?

Probably, but Oprah has good taste. Hilary Clinton also really liked this book.

The Poisonwood Bible is the best book I've ever read. I just started it for the third time, and I almost never reads books more than once.

If anyone knows of an online discussion on this book I would be very interested.

Thanks,
Rich
