I am enjoying it greatly :) Hope you can find it.

I just finished Archeron by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Out of all the Dark Hunter series I have read (to date), its my fav by a landslide!

I have the latest Jacqueline Carey, Naamah's Curse waiting in the wings. I may have to go back and read Naamah's Kiss again to remind myself of the storyline. I HATE books in a series with such a length of time between releases!

Hello Readers
 

Joining thread...

I usually read a fair amount, though because I read The New Yorker every week, it cuts into my book time. About a month ago, I started reading with a Kindle DX and since then I have been reading non-stop. I have a wish list on the Kindle and every time I finish one book, I just download another. It's something I didn't think I'd enjoy as much as I do, but it really changes a lot about reading.

Here's what I've read on the Kindle:

Insignificant Others - Stephen Macauley - a book about a gay man in middle age and about relationship choices. Set in Boston, where I lived for many years, I enjoyed reading a story taking place in a city that I know and love.

Girl in Translation - Jean Kwok - about the Chinese immigrant experience in NYC. Very well written and moving.

The Frozen Rabbi - Steve Stern - the second book of his I've read. It's a magical realism with a twist of Hasidism about a family that has kept a celebrated rabbi frozen for generations until he thaws out in a power outage. A wonderful book.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake - also magical realism about a girl who tastes the emotions of the people who have cooked the food she eats. Really well done and recommended.

I also read The Help (pre-Kindle) and like it tremendously. I can see why it's been on the best seller list forever.

Looking forward to hearing more about what all of you are reading.

I'm currently reading Stephen Kings, Under the Dome.

Being a mega King fan, I'm thrilled to find new material by him.

Reading now....

Finishing Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs then going to start reading Ordinary Men by Christopher R Browning

"Aristotle and an Aardvark go to Washington." Understanding political doublespeak through philosophy and jokes. by, Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klien

It has both cracked me up and made me mad at times. sometimes at the same time.

Next I want to read by them, "Plato and a Platypus walk into a bar"

so I read this post last night and went to Barnes an Noble this morning.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake looks fascinating. I have thoughts about the food I eat and who's preparing it...weird I know.

I've read both Ishmael books. I think they should be required reading for everyone on the planet. Haven't read Story of B - what did you think?

All E-Books..
 

Linchpin, by Seth Godin
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Save the Cat, Blake Snyder
Story, Robert McKee

I loved this book
I'm going to get her other book when I finish this.

I loved Angelology as well. It's a step up from the Dan Brown books. A real page turner.

Are they both memoirs?

Answering for Soon, who has already closed up her laptop. Yes, they are both memoirs.

I've been away for a few days (a week or two?) while I relocated and there's so much vibrancy in this thread--thank you all!

Currently, I'm rereading bell hooks' Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black as motivation for this new semester of teaching. I really do enjoy most of her work...

Hugs to all of you fabulous readers! :)

I had the opportunity to listen to her read and speak when I was in uni (years ago!).

She gave me a lot to think about and was a fascinating speaker.

8 Traits Successful People Have in Common by Richard St. John

A book that was passed on to me and was told it was interesting. It's alright so far.
