Reading material update

I got a couple of books for Christmas by two of my favorites - Nora Ephron and Anna Quindlen. These ladies who are, like me, "of a certain age" really nail life as I know it. I really enjoy non-fiction that reads like literature - in fact, that is something I challenged my creative writing club to do before our next meeting. They love to create characters and they picture them down to the most infinitessimal detail, but I think it's cooler to write about something or someone that already exists.
