Bike Week 2010
This was originally posted on the Tripadvisor Forum, worth repeating as much good info in 1 location:: We have been to Bike Week and Biketoberfest.

9-4-09 – Gilead
I should have known...usually the Oprah book club ladies recommend books worth reading... but maybe I am shallow and too dense to wrap my head around the deep intense meaning in this author's books. This book has a few of the same characters as HOME -- previously ranted about commented on. Actually started out somewhat promising -- with a father - son trip to find the grandfather's grave -- then kinda went nowhere fast. Only listened to 2 disks.... Naperville Public Library actually ... Read more »
