I think this line's mostly filler.

I haven't read any Wild Cards (yet), but I am looking forward to the next Song of Ice and Fire book, and the upcoming HBO series.

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett... yes, it's the Oprah book. Please don't scorn me for that, BUT it's REALLY REALLY good! Wish I had more time to read it!

I just finished "Remind Me Again Why I Need A Man" by Claudia Carroll and now it's time to read "Sonderkommando" by Shlomo Venezia.
I have to read this whole thread when I have more time, I love reading and am always looking for recommendations.

Holy Cow by Sarah Macdonald. A travel/expat memoir about India. Very good.

The Bromeliad Trilogy by Terry Pratchett
The opening reminded me of The Borrowers with John Goodman. Very enjoyable, I'll likely finish it tonight. Which is a good thing since it's due tomorrow.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I had very low hopes for this book, but it's turning out to be an excellent read. |

I'm reading Wicked on Happy Monkey's recommendation - and also because my ex-pat bff enjoyed it. I like it so far, but worry that it means I can't see the musical because it will annoy me how much they've left out. Always something to worry about... I've just finished A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. The story of a child who went through the childcare system and ended up a drink and drug addict, stealing and turning tricks to support her habits. A surprisingly funny book - I laughed out loud in the hairdressers and found it hard to explain what was funny (Cup has the DTs and is swearing at the spiders approaching her singing a Queen song). I liked it less when she found God, but I guess you have to take some of that from people who've been through the Twelve Steps. I didn't go to AA that evening because I felt I'd had enough of coincidences being chalked up to a Higher Power for one day. Honestly, God can find the time to provide crockery for a reformed addict but doesn't step in to stop the child abuse that caused the addiction. Hmmmm.

WITCHES OF EASTWICK-Updike (Updike played himself a few nights ago on the Simpsons) It's a "take your mind off of it, brianna." kind of book.
A LONG WAY GONE-Memoirs of a boy soldier (boy soldier during civil war of Sierra Leone) - Ishmael Beah And I WAS trying to stay along with the syllabus of that English class I got kicked out of but, I'm sorry, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF just kind of sucks. |
