Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey.
I expect to finish it in another twenty minutes. I'm already in tears.

The Bulletin Board.
*da dum DUM*
Actually, I just started a book called "The Day the Voices Stopped". It's written by a schizophrenic, about his struggle with his disease. He conquered the illness and went on to become an advocate for the mentally ill. I'm currently dealing with the disease in my family, so I figured this book might give me some insight into it.

[complaint]
I'm in the middle of Black Boy/American Hunger by Richard Wright. Every time I bog down I switch to The Wages of Whiteness by David Roediger, which makes Wright look fun in comparison.
Damn, do I need to read a fun book. I don't think I thought this whole "ph.d." nonsense through very well.
It's the middle of summer, fercrisesakes. I want a Jackie Collins novel, and I want it now.

Laurel, my paternal grandmother was a paranoid schizophrenic. I lived with her for a couple of years, and know the disease fairly well, at least for a non-psych/med person. If ya, you know, wanna chat with someone about it.

I just finished Open Season by Linda Howard. It was disappointing, but I'm sure it will become a NY Times Best Seller like her previous one. There were a couple of funny scenes but the "mystery" wasn't much of a mystery and was solved so quickly it was anticlimactic.
I'm currently reading The Teachers Guide to the Building Blocks and Month by Month Phonics for Kindergarten both by Patricia Cunningham.

Thanks, KM *hugs* back atcha. It's really hard right now, but it's a lot harder for my sister than for me. I can't even begin to imagine the world she lives in. I already unloaded all over chat, so I won't bore you all with the details (here, maybe later on another thread).
RS - I seem to remember liking Richard Wright when I read him. But then again, he might've been fun compared to, say, Charles Dickens (I HATE that man). And I may take you up on that offer...you've been warned!

I know what I expect the ending will be. It's more interesting than Political Agendas for Education which I endured last fall.

Laurel, anytime you want to talk about it, let me know. I've been reading a lot on mental illness lately, putting together a class on portrayals of sanity/insanity. So, Naomi's (that's the grandma) obviously been on my mind a lot lately. I'm sorry you're going through this, for what it's worth.
Richard Wright is actually interesting. At least, Native Son was. I'm wading through his autobiography though; I swear, I'm hip deep and sinking.
Next stop: Richard Attaway's Blood on the Forge, Alexander Saxton's Rise and Fall of the White Republic, and another trip through Cannery Row.
Can you tell that I study race and class?

I'm presently reading The Silver Wolf from Alice Borchardt (Anne Rice's sister). It's the first book of 3 (so far).

All i ever read anymore are Lit stories.
Seriously!
The last novel I read was The Giant's House by Elizabeth McCracken (on Oprah's reading list), and was highly disappointed in it, for some reason. Nothing really there to sink my teeth into. Before that came A Widow for One Year by John Irving... a little better, but sort of rambling all over the place, especially when the main character goes to Holland. The Reader... I can't remember the author's name on that one, but it was translated I believe from German, and the first part of the story was fabulous, with richly detailed characters your heart went out to. But it was no Topping From Below by Laura Reese. THAT is the one that all others have paled in comparison to, and I'm not even into BDSM! (and, unlike the previous 3 I mentioned, the couple in the story were the same age!) I blame that story for my decline in reading... well, that plus the internet, and all the great stories the websites like Lit have to offer!

I am reading the Wheel Of Time series by robert jordan, read the first two books yesterday, going to start the 3rd book today. But truth to tell, since this is my 15th time reading the series I don't really read the books all the way through anymore, I mostly just skim them.
<--- Kitty has too much time on his paws!. sheeesh ya know yer life sucks when ya have enough time to read a 9 book series 15 times..............

Finishing up Trevelyan's Shortened History of England, so I'm probably going to try and find next a Stephen King book I have not gotten to yet. The problem is that I read those over a weekend because I can't put it down.
Good book I finished a few weeks back, David Simon's Homicide, A Year on the Killing Streets. It inspired the TV series. Excellent book, very very intense, bizarre, sad, funny, disgusting, a typical big city. The detectives are almost as strange as the criminals.
