  1. Late last night, early this morning I finished "The Astronaut Wives Club" by Lily Koppel. If you are in any way interested in the space race of the 60s/70s, this book about the wives of the Mercury 7, Gemini 9 and Apollo 14 wives is a really interesting, informative and enjoyable read. The only problem I had was keeping all the ladies straight, there were so many of them, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment!
