The Zion Covenant. series of six books

its about a Jewish family in Berlin from 1933 to 1942. The family flees Germany to Vienna. about a year before the German invasion. then they flee to Prague (about a year before the German invasion). all the while working secretly to smuggle thousands of Jewsih children out of Germany

I dig historical fiction cause it places actual people in the events and you get a feel for how the history actually affected peoples lives

its by Boede Thoene

I got em as a discard from the library. they were gonna throw em away and had em in the discard box

the hero of the story is Elisa Lindhein (Linder to the Germans), she is third chair in the Vienna Symphony. Her best friend is a jewish cello player with visas to leave Austria to Palestine

so a lot of the story is also involved in Jerusalem and the conflict between the Arabs/British/Jews.

all the characters they interact with are historical

I was pretty impressed with it to tell the truth

I always find it weird when many people view these kinds of threads, yet never reply. Just let us know what books you're reading! :wink:

The last book I read was Turning Angel, by Greg Iles. I'm about to start Dan Brown's new book, The Lost Symbol. I think after that, I will probably read Domain, by Steve Alten.

I will take a look around for them. I always find stories about Jewish families like that very interesting.

I just finished "....Then Why Do I Have Toenails?" by Thom Phelps and "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris.

Currently re-reading Douglas Adams' "The Salmon of Doubt."

After that, I'll probably finish writing my own next book....!

According to the people of my creative writing class, I only read trashy bestsellers. So...right now I'm reading Lisa Jackson's "Chosen to Die." It's wickedly decadent.winking

I'm reading "The Fall of the Knights Templar" by Robyn Young. The last in a trilogy. Fascinating and pretty bloody.

Hey Call if you want an autographed copies let me know she lives here in Vancouver and stops by my store all the time to sign books. Her sister Nancy Bush is a fairly decent writer not as gory though but leans more towards the mystery side and less sex laugh


Oh and I'm in the midst of reading Jim Butcher Turn Coast

Cecily Ahern P.S. I Love You

Advance Reader copy of Stephen King's The Dome

And rereading the Sopholces Theban Plays

If you like Cecelia Ahern, read her book Love, Rosie. It was really good! I liked it better than P. S. I Love You.

Wow, that'd be cool. I'll have to do that one of these days. I didn't know Stephen Kind had a new book out, I need to keep up.

I just started "The Day Christ Died" by Jim Bishop. It is really interesting and is written in the format of a news report as we would have in the present day.

I am also reading The "Diary of Saint Maria Faustina" this book will blow you away, about 3/4 finished.

Just finished Sherrilyn Kenyons Born of Night, Mercedes Lackey's Foundation, and started Common Sense, Rights of Man and other Essential Stories by Thomas Paine. I liked his Age of Reason book.

Robert Jordan's next book The Gathering Storm comes out 10/27/09, so I may pull the whole series and re-read that for the heck of it.
