I really enjoyed this novel that one of my book club friends passed along. My one complaint was either I wasn't paying enough attention in the beginning or he didn't set the time period real well. I kept looking back to try to establish exactly what time period it was set in. Once I got past that and the first couple of chapters it picked up and was a good story with some interesting twists. Not the greatest book I've ever read, but a good one to pass the time!

Under the Banner of Heaven
John Krakauer
This was a very interesting account of a couple of brothers who murdered their sister-in-law claiming the were acting out God's will as part of the extremist Mormon sect. The book was very interesting in discussing Mormon church history and extremist movements. I am not totally sure how I felt about it, but I am glad I read it. I think it left me with more questions than answers about mainstream Mormonism, but I guess those aren't really answers I need. I know what I believe, for the most part. :)
