RED ALERT! RED ALERT!! I got a Kindle for Christmas too and did you know that TODAY they announced a new "book sharing" program?!!!!! YES! If you bought a Kindle book, you can "loan" it to a friend for up to 2 weeks!!!!! It's a one-time deal and not all books are eligible for sharing (it's up to the publisher), so I'd LOVE to start a sharing list! WEEEE!

I had forgotten how good a well-written piece of fiction would feel! It had been a long while since I read anything that wasn't an biography, a case study, a tech manual, or academia so imagine my surprise when I got my Kindle and dove back into the world of fiction
 Jack had been reading some of the Kindle forums and saw a lot of chatter about a book called "Exquisite Corpse" by Poppy Z Brite. It's about 2 Gay Cannibalistic Necrophiliacs. I read it in 2 days. It was definitely different, not nearly as gross as most people made it out to be (well, except for that ONE part) and a totally wild ride! LOVED it. I just started "The Passage" by Jonathan Cronin and am loving it already!

Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment. Surely the most intriguing study of an axe murderer ever.

Im a little more than halfway through "The Passage". It's pretty creepy!
I have developed an thing for post-apocalyse storylines over the last few years. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

 After being the family caretaker and sole provider for many years, much of this book hits home. It isn't just about "stop controlling others".... it's about breaking a cycle and learning to nurture oneself...it's about learning to say No to those that constantly take advantage of your giving, caretaking nature.... and it's full of lessons that you tell yourself "WOW, I didn't know I was doing it that way...". It truly opened my eyes to many harmful habits and emotional stress and harm related to codependency that has been a part of my family and personal relationships since I was a child. |

First I should mention I go a Nookcolor for Christmas and have been fondeling my Nookie since then... I LOVE her!
Right now I am doing mindless reading (since I really should be doing class work but this breaks up the study overload I put myself in to) I am also trying to figure out all of the perks of my Nookie... I started reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. Each book (I have only read the first two and I am currently reading the third one) takes a look at the men of the Brotherhood. If anyone else has a Nookcolor and would be interested in trying out the lend feature I would gladly lend you the ones I have just finished. |

I just finished Prodigal Summer, by Barbara Kingsolver. She weaves three stories of love together, all centered around Mount Zebulon, in southern Appalachia. The characters are delightful, as are the lessons of biology; Ms. Kingsolver has yet to disappoint me.

If you have a chance to stop back and let us know what you thought of "In her Wake" when you finish it, I'd be very curious to know. Thanks. I'm thinking about whether to read it myself.

Currently working my way through:
The Left at War -- Michael Berube A Revolution of the Mind: Radical Enlightenment and the Intellectual Origins of Modern Democracy -- Jonathan Israel Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America -- Eugene Robinson I'm also listening to a couple of audiobooks: Eye of the World: Wheel of Time Book 1 -- Robert Jordan The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany -- William L. Shirer When I'm done with Shirer (which I should be by next week) I'm going to start at the beginning of Richard J. Evans "Third Reich Trilogy" (The Coming of the Third Reich) and then go through all three books in sequence. In part this is done for comparative purposes. Shirer's book, while a work of history, is mostly a work of journalism (he was a reporter). Evans, on the other hand, is considered the world's foremost scholar on Nazi Germany and having read through books 2 and 3 of his trilogy, I want to go back and catch the whole magisterial sweep of his work. Cheers Aj

So the 3 books I had listed as "currently reading" (Points of View by Rex Murphy, Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering's Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters by James M. Tabor and Family Knits - 25 Handknits for all seasons by Debbie Bliss are still in the mix but I seem to be reading a lot of stuff in addition to that. (BTW - have also started a pair of socks).
Am 2/3 of the way thru [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Long-Way-Down-Motorcycle-Scotland/dp/B003A02WZ8"]Long Way Down[/ame]. Have also finished (and gotten a headstart on wishful thinking) [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Golf-Annikas-Way-Elevated-Best--/dp/1592403565/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294595751&sr=1-1"] Golf Annika's Way [/ame]. |

Finished:
Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais. An apparent suicide victim is identified as a possible serial killer. A private detective who helped free him a few years previously tries to determine if it is true. Afternoons with Mr. Hogan: A Boy, A Golfing Legend and the Lessons of a Lifetime by Jody Vasquez As a teenager, the author was hired to chase golf balls for Ben Hogan. Great insights into Hogan's character and some golf tips thrown in. Currently reading: Points of View by Rex Murphy Collection of 30 years of his writings and speeches. Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering's Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters by James M. Tabor An examination of the doomed 1967 expedition to scale Alaska's Mt. McKinley. For some reason I seem to be interested in extreme sports lately! Family Knits - 25 Handknits for all seasons by Debbie Bliss Looking for some new projects for the new year! |

I do love this thread! It has to be my favorite on BFP! Almost finished with The Grass Crown and will start Ceazar's Women next; which is skipping around a bit. As I just finished reading Cleopatra by Stacy Schriff I want to refresh my memory about what Colleen McCullough had to say about her.
