Some locals have formed an impromptu reading group to read the Man Booker shortlist
http://www.themanbookerprize.com/news/stories/1533 http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/gall...11-in-pictures rather ambitiously they've set two books for next week (I'm unlikely to have time to read both) but I've just sent these two to my kindle. 'Pigeon English' by Stephen Kelman and 'Snowdrops' by A.D. Miller |
Just finished "The Sociopath Next Door" non fiction. scarier than fiction. :)
4% of the population or 1 in 25 people, have no conscience. look around the room right now and see if you can pick them out! seriously - really good book. You look at people differently and a bit more objectively. Watch out for those who consistantly play the pity card. |

Have I ever said I LOVE MY LIBRARY. Well if not, I do. So I said it. I admit it. I am a library junkie. So today I picked up "Not One Damsel in Distress ~ World Folktales for Strong Girls" by Jane Yolen. I am asked to storytell for different events, so I am always trying to find interesting folktales that we may not necessarily have ever heard. I also try to find stories about women, strong women, or wiley women... etc. There are far too many male heroes in our north american cultural mythology. I am only one women, but I hold the power of my voice, my body and imagination to encourage other women to embrace the hero within. Anyway... I feel a tangent coming on. :canadian: |
Trying to catch up with Janet Evanovich, so I started Sizzling Sixteen 2 days ago and should be done tonight

Ive been reading a wonderful book... The man who walked through time. By Colin Fletcher... its about the first man to ever walk the length of the Grand Canyon. Im going through a non-fiction phase with emphasis on naturalists...Bernd Heinrich is another favorite... A Year in the Maine Woods was an INCREDIBLE read..he's the Thoreau of our time..but with more of a scientific mind...

Rereading Cornwell's Winter King, plus a bunch of course readers for uni.

This is a favorite genre of mine (non-fiction travel/ naturalists) so please keep posting books and descriptions as they come up for you :)

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
I'm always reading more than one book at a time, but this has my primary focus right now. I am bonded to sf and fantasy, particularly heroic paradoxes and anything that draws upon, regenerates or creates new myths that survive in dystopia. I like to see the underdog win against a dehumanizing force in the present and in the future.
This is a trailer someone made of what a filmed version of the book could look like. |
Just finished Cruel Sacrafice by Aphrodite Jones..........she is one of the best crime writers ever each time I get one of her books I cant put it down her best ever by far is All S/he Wanted it is the true story of the murder of Brendan Tena from the movie Boys Dont Cry....the movie is great but so far from the book. The book is better hands down.
|
I am a true crime addict and also love Aphrodite Jones' books! I've read both books you mentioned below. Cruel Sacrifice was so intense! The characters from it were on a two part Dr. Phil interview this year. Amanda was still gay and looked butch. Hey, check out this one by Aphrodite. It's so good!

Just finished Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series. They were good.
Also finished The Evil Within by Heather Graham. Now am starting Bleak History by John Shirley and Not Flesh Nor Feathers by Cherie Priest. May also read Slaughterhouse Five again to support banned book week. |
Just finished REAMDE by Neal Stephenson, who is the closest thing I have to a favorite author
Rereading The Age Of Innocence for 4th-Mondays book club reading The Glass Room for 3rd-Mondays book club and Train to Pakistan for school |
I'm reading The Eighty-Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts. Would recommend it for any animal lover especially horse lovers.
Just got rereading Eleanor Of Aquitaine by Allison Weir. My favorite historical author |
I am currently listening to a CD set called "The Spirit of Healing" by Lewis Mehl-Madrona. He is a psychiatrist who has also studied Native American healing practices for close to 40 years. I quite like it. It took me a bit to get past his voice, I am glad I did because he has some very interesting things to say. Listening to how he expresses his ideas has led me to alter the lectures I do for the Religious Studies program at the University here.
I just bought "78 Degrees of Wisdom" by Rachel Pollack, a book on tarot. I am thinking about creating and teaching a class on Numerology, Symbolism and the Tarot. For further research I am also reading "The Haindl Tarot, the Major Arcana" again by Rachel Pollack and "The Complete Book of Numerology" by David Phillips. I am looking for more esoteric teachings for numerology. It has a deep and intriguing history. I spent much of August steeped in Pythagorean Theorem which inspired my idea to create a workshop.

Rereading to ground myself before the season...
Unplug the Christmas Machine
By Jo Robinson & Jean Coppock Staeheli |
I finished The Girl Who Played with Fire a while ago and loved it and I am now at 56% of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
I am reading it slowly since I know it is the last one of a great series. I have also watched the first two movies and I am waiting until I finish the book to watch the third one. I must say though, that the movies don't do the book justice, but then again, few do. |
I'm re-reading a cute series that starts with "Several Devils" and then will be reading the next in the series "The Average Of Deviance"

I'm reading "Tools Matter For Practicing the Spiritual Life" by Mary Margaret Funk. I too borrowed this from R. as I'm learning about my own spiritual journey and read "Thoughts Matter" first, it was a great read, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about becoming balanced in their thinking about life in general. If you do want to read these books, read Thoughts Matter first.
