Favorite Book
Another easy one: Russka by Edward Rutherfurd. When I was in college I had the incredible opportunity to tour Finland, Russia, and the Baltic States. Before leaving on tour, one of our directors recommended that we read Russka in order to get a better understanding of the Russian people (it's a historical novel that takes you through Russia's entire, complex history). I loved the book and have read it more times than I can count. Something about it drew me into Russian history. I have read many books on the subject since. The only thing I don't like about the book is that it jumps right through the cold war. I would have enjoyed reading more about that time.

I don't think I was listening in class. I missed this recommendation - or perhaps it was because I had stars in my eyes and birds floating around my head as I was preparing for my wedding at the same time?!?!? Anyhoo - I'll have to DEFINITELY check out this one. That's a pretty high recommendation!
