I love Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, if you haven't read it, I would recommend it.

Back for more recycle reading of books on my shelves. Reading some D.M. Thomas at the moment.

I'm reading The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters. It's good so far, pleasantly creepy. It's reminding me a bit of The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson.

I love all of her writing. Bastard Out of Carolina really stuck with me! Wow, what a woman, what a writer!

Going through a cycle (5th time?) of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.. My reward? Getting the new books that have come out after his death and seeing what the ending is!!! 11 books and then he passed away.. True talent he had.. Same thing happened with the Dune series by Frank Herbert.. I just hope that the new books are true to all the charactors, even if it is by a diffrent auther..

Night is one of my favorite books as well. I was fortunate in that I was able to talk with Mr. Weisel when he gave a lecture for my AP English/Lit class in high school. He was such a very nice man and was very patient with us teenagers asking him so many questions. I learned so much that day.

Just started "Whip Smart" by Melissa Febos -- so far, it's really intriguing!! Thanks to nycfembbw for lending it to me!

Normally my preferred reading genre is true crime. I have a favorite book called Mistresses of Mayhem by Francine Hornberger. It details centuries of women criminals, from Elizabeth Bathory to Lizzie Borden, and many others. The book itself is actually very poorly written and has lots of typos and errors, but I still like it just the same...lol

nycfem · 07-30-2010, 09:03 PM

I read tons of true crime. I always enjoy Ann Rule, Carlton Smith, Harold Schecter, and Aphrodite Jones, among many others!

Great thread, Diva! I will be a frequent poster, I'm sure. I've managed a bookstore, worked in a a GREAT indie bookstore in G'ville, MS where we stopped for tea at 4PM everyday, and then was a Librarian for years!
Right now I'm in the process of simplifying my life. This includes even-gasp!-getting rid of some of my books! I am not sure what I'll be doing with them. Perhaps I'll put some one here on Queerbay, gratis, of course. I'll never charge family for books!
