Love Medicine

A couple of years ago I read “Beet Queen”, or half of it, by Louise Erdrich and our book club selected “Love Medicine” for this month’s selection.  I know some of you have really liked her writing, but I don’t care for it.  I think the Indians are depicted in a very coarse way and if Erdrich  weren’t half Chippewa, would probably be criticized for that.  I have been sick with bronchitis so missed the book club meeting.  This is the book I paid a penny for on amazon.com plus $3.99 postage.

I thought I told everyone about Cardin trying out for American Idol.  She made the top 50, but didn’t get selected for the top 24.  She doesn’t seem too disappointed;  I expected that she would be after all the stress and expectations.  The selection process started in August, I believe.  Now it is live.
