I'm sure he had a lot of time to concentrate.

Heaven, Texas by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

and

Chinese Reader for Beginners by Chan

Hammerfall by CJ Cherryh


Yeah, all three at the similar time. Depends on which room in the house I'm in when I start to read.

Heh. I keep one book in the John. One is in my car for appts. with clients in doctor's offices. One is at the bedside. And finally, I keep one in the living room to read while watching tv or suffering the net.

Me too.

At the moment I am reading nothing deep, just re-reading Exit To Eden.

Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987, by Bob Woodward

 

[peachykeen]

"You Are Not a Stranger Here" by Adam Haslett is in my bag for bus & tube reading.

"Good In Bed" by Jennifer Weiner is on my nightstand for bedtime reading (and no it is no a how-to manual so no wisecracks from the peanut gallery).

"Persuasion" by Jane Austen, for my monthly reading group. (this one is work but worth it.)

I just finished "From a Buick 8" by Stephen King, and I just started reading "The Viking Funeral" by Stephen J. Cannell.

What an incredible book! I can't believe how he survived and hung on to his manuscript no matter what.

I am reading something light, John Irving's The Water Method Man.

 

[PolythenePam]

Frida, by Barbara Mujica--a fictionalized biography of Frida Kahlo, told in the words of her younger sister--one of Diego's conquests....very fiery thus far....

Live from Baghdad - by Robert Weiner

I watched the HBO movie and then had to get the book. It's good so far, but only in a chapter or two. Book is always better than the movie!

He was the producer for CNN that broadcast live from Baghdad when the war started last time.

I'd be interested in seeing what you have to say about it.

And I mean that seriously, no snideness intended.

It was beyond sad and makes a great companion to Night by Elie Weisel.

Q, I am up to page 130. So far its a dry read about territorial conquests and agriculture. Ok, maybe its a bit over my head.
Diamond certainly knows his history.

Just reread Dune . I think I liked it better after having read everything else in the series.

I am now re-reading Tom Robbins Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas. The first time I read it I liked it but didn't think it was one of his better ones. This time I am liking it a bit more.

I hope you'll bear with it, I think you'll find it was worth the effort.

I am reading James Patterson's Alex Cross series. I am on The Big Bad Wolf, and I am also re-reading A Short History of Nearly Everything.

Fucking ingenious book! Great choice.

I'm currently on Fast Food Nation, The ADD Answer, A Nation of Credit, and Nutrition for Everyday Life.

Outside of class, that is. I'm a juggler. Libraries hate me.

Just finished Naomi Wolf's "Promiscuities." WOW...

I started to read George Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? and it's awful. I gave up after sturggling up to about page 76.
