I read that book a decade ago, and it haunts me still. There are some facts about animal penises I just don't need to know. Gack!

Hook 'em while they're young :)

this semester I have English again (comp 2) and so my recreational reading has come to a small halt. However, I am looking for a new potential series. My current author that i'm fixated on (I've read all her books) doesn't come out with the next book in he series until august.... AUGUST!!!!! ugghhh..



I'm thinking I may hit up the Patricia Cornwell section of my home library. Scarpetta Novels, here I come!

She has always loved to read as do I She actually reads to the kindergarten class at her school not that I am a proud parent or anything

I am reading an advance copy of The Millionaire and the Bard: Henry Folger's Obsessive Hunt for Shakespeare's First Folio because i have been assigned to review it for Library Journal

Also Trilby by George du Maurier because my professor assigned it

Also Baudelaire, Prince of Clouds: A biography because I have to write a paper

Also The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson because Fantasy is all I read when i am allowed to choose for myself!!!

Reading numerous horror-genre scripts for possible one act plays to use in an upcoming production. Creeping myself out. :)

I'm slowly working my way through Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire #2) by George R. R. Martin.

I'm also reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown for an online book club I'm in.

And then I'm reading Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman just because.

Though lately I feel like I haven't made progress on any of them.

The King Must Die by Mary Renault

I read all her historical fiction years ago, but one advantage of getting old is you forget what you read long and can read all the good stuff again. It's set in Ancient Greece. Male homosexuality is presented in a non-judgemental light. Renault was, in fact, a lesbian. She got some shit for not being all rah rah about "gay liberation." And the goddesses and matriarchal societies are not depicted in a flattering light. But I don't care. I love ancient Greece, and these are so good.

Some gay men of my generation and older used to talk about these books as the first things they ever read in which gay relationships weren't tragic or pathologized. Anyway, I like them.

I have waited such a very long time to read Erik Larson's newest book ..... Dead Wake.

I get to read it, with a small group of friends who are in town, this weekend.

Selected Poems

ee cummings

Inspired by this recent magazine article, so I picked up a copy and decided to reacquaint myself with ee.

Last book I read was the second in the Gardella vampire series.. In an attempt to not buy the next five, I am re-reading Insurgent.

However, my guy bought me the first book in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Kootz last week so I am itching to get lost in that! :) He already bought me the last book of the series (my fault, I hadn't researched the series and just added to my list!) so now I need them all. Mwahah..! I mean, ahem, oops! ;)

The Four Agreements
A Toltec Wisdom Book

Don Miguel Ruiz

I'm reading:
 

" A place somewhere "
Author , JD Samuel

..this page... lmao


but also... FAT LAND ( about the politics of food in the US over the last 50+ years)

Some things are timeless...
 

"Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Originally published in 1930. As germane now, 85 years later, as it was then.

I just started reading "The Big Bad Wolf" by James Patterson.

I realized I'd never read anything of his before. I'm on a popular author binge. His writing is very good from the get go. I enjoyed Grisham, but he was a slow starter..

I'm about halfway through Funny Girl: A Novel by Nick Hornby. It was recommended on the podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour so I jumped on the bandwagon. It's set in the 1960's era BBC studios, and I like Britcoms, so I've found it pretty interesting. BTW, it has nothing to do with that Barbra Streisand movie.
