Rosie and I listened to Chaz Bono's lastest book on tape while driving to Richmond. It was very well done. We enjoyed it.

Elijah 06-27-2011 08:49 PM

I am reading Transition by Chaz Bono, I may be wildly unpopular for saying this, but I am a little disappointed, I am up to Chapter 6.

Also, is there really a way to share Kindle books, or is that a myth?

I am re-reading a fantasy series with a kink component. The author is Jacqueline Carey. The books are named in order:

The girl who...
 
I'm reading Stieg Larson's "The Girl Who..." series. I started reading them a week or so ago and can't put them down! I'm on the last book now, which is a terrible combination of awesome and not awesome since there are only 3 books in the series.

Forensics - Zakaria Erzinclioglu
It's taught about a lot of things in regards to forensics, yes he has opinions, but I've yet to find one of his opinions which are invalid, definitely food for thought. It's making me start to wish I'd worked harder at school and taken the time to possibly look into studying forensics years ago, ah well, such is life!

I went shopping for the book by Mantak Chia: Healing Love Through The Tao: Cultivating Female Sexual Energy (good tantra reference) and also bought his The Six Healing Sounds: Taoist Techniques for Balancing Chi. :bellydancer:

But... I found in the second hand section "The Fruitful Darkness" by Joan Halifax. I was excited to find it and even more excited to be reading it. I really like her work. I opened up the book at a 'random' page and found a very interesting section on glossolalia, which is a wonderfully obscure subject very close to my heart. :cheer:

I also bought a Linda Goodman book second hand because it contained a chapter on Kabbalistic numerology. :thumbsup:

Honestly, the only way that I've found to share books on Kindle is if the Kindles are registered to the same user on Amazon's system. I know, it's kind of a bummer...

I just finished reading "The Help" written by Kathryn Stockett.

It is fiction and about African American Women Domestics, telling their story to a middle class white woman. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960s during the time of the Civil Rights movement.

I rarely read fiction but I could not put this book down. I grew up during this era in Southern California and played with the children of African American women domestics that abandoned the South and moved to California to make a better life for their children. We all lived in the projects. IMO, this book sounds pretty realistic.

Greyson, I could heart their voices and totally enjoyed this book. I know I will read it again. If anyone has a Color Nook and would be interested in reading I will see if this book has the share option as I don't mind sharing it with others.

Recently I've read Lost Voices by Sarah Porter. It's a dark YA fantasy about a girl who becomes a mermaid.

I'm also reading Clash of Kings by George R. R. Donaldson. It's the 2nd in his A Song Of Ice And Fire trilogy which is being produced by HBO as Game Of Thrones. Totally engrossing. Not your average sword/sorcery fantasy. Donaldson has NO problem killing off popular characters.

Good Memoir
 
Instead of a Letter--Diana Athill

Producte Description (Amazon): Diana Athill's childhood was idyllic, brought up in the Norfolk countryside. Aged only 15, she fell in love with a young undergraduate. They travelled to Oxford, engaged to be married. Then everything fell apart in the cruellest possible way. In this modern memoir, Diana Athill dissects the terrible consequences of loss and her struggle to rebuild a personality destroyed by sadness.

Interesting history. Still trying to decide if there is some merit to her conclusions.

It does sound interesting. So is she blaming the behavior of men on feminism?

The Uncoupling
—Meg Wolitzer


When the new drama teacher at Eleanor Roosevelt High School stages a production of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, the town of Stellar Plains is never again the same. The town's women are overtaken by a creeping, cold curse; which leads them to completely disengage from their husbands, lovers and boyfriends. It's funny how a Greek comedy, written in 411 BC about the Peloponnesian War is so timely today: the political climate, the war protests, the unhappy community, the men who fight, and the women who stay behind. This is a smart, topical, unique story which is absolutely done to perfection. Wolitzer's prose is straightforward and clean, leaving her gem of a story to shine, and shine it does.

One of the most amazing real life stories ever. "As Nature Made Him, by John Colapinto. I HIGHLY recommend this book.


http://www.book-club-queen.com/as-na...colapinto.html


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

A baby boy who's botched circumcision left him without a penis and under advice of a doctor, raised him as a girl. He is a real life hero. Tragically he committed suicide at 38, two years after his twin also committed suicide, and after the book was written. This was a huge lesson in gender assignment taking place in the brain not in the genitals.
