That sounds really rather cool. I find it hard to reconcile the existence of a fourteen year old sister with that of a fifty year old brother (Mycroft), however.

I finished reading Dee Henderson's True Courage. It was awesome =). It's mainly about an FBI agent who found himself in a situation that involved his family and his work all in one. And he couldn't rely on himself and had to trust God for the impossible.

I've been reading The Inheritance Series, (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr). They're some of my favorite fiction books. =]
I've also been reading a book called 'The Battle For The Beginning' by John Macarthur. It's great so far!

is there a thread for last poem i just read?

well anyways i've been studying English literature during the victorian period and I really like Christina Rossetti. Her life story is pretty neat you should look her up.

Not yet

I don't remember which book I read most recently...it's gotta be either Lori Copeland's The Drifter or It Happens Every Spring by (I forgot the author). I liked them both =). I started on Before I Wake by Dee Henderson, which is about FBI investigations and mysteries - stuff like that.

Lost in Translation - Eva Hoffman

It has so much adorable language, thick with idioms and metaphors. It gives you a very good feel for the cultures she translates, such as what it was like to see the translation from the 50s to the 60s on a college campus, or to try to exchange jokes with Canadians in a fast food parking lot. It's the most sympathetic book I've read in a long time, although I certainly don't feel sorry for the protagonist.
