[A]n at-a-glance view into the daily proceedings of the United States Congress through the simplest lens available-a single word. For every day that Congress is in session, Capitol Words displays the most frequently used word in the Congressional Record.

This is a great idea. I especially like the calendar view.

I wanted to read The Diving Bell and the Butterfly but it was checked out from the library.  So, while I waited, I scanned my bookshelf for something to entertain me until it’s arrival.  It was between Wuthering Heights and The Indian in the Cupboard.  I read Wuthering Heights in high school and was repelled by the language and content (aaron, I think we read the book together).  I decided to give it another shot.  I have therefore embarked on another great journey.  

Anyone have any other book recommendations? 

Thanks to a recommendation from my dear friend Caro, I just finished this book.

Loved it.
