What are you reading?

Thanks for your responses about ebooks - I see the points of view about space/storage, the upside about green issues and also the concerns for the publishing and related industries. I see where the ebook can impact not just printers and publishing houses, but also the logging, paper manufacturers, ink manufacturers, transportation and warehousing industries.

For now, I think I will stick with old school. I like being able to hand a book to someone and saying, "I'm done with this now and I think you will love it. When you are done, pass it to someone else." I like that my son has children's books that were mine as a child and that I have a collection of his that I envision him reading to his children.

These days, I have two paperbacks I am reading - "Live To Tell" by Lisa Gardner and "Eight Days to Live" by Iris Johansen.

I am attempting to patiently wait for "Namah's Blessing" by Jacqueline Carey - June 2011 seems SO far away! Charliane Harris has a new Sookie Stackhouse book due out in May 2011 - "Dead Reckoning". I'm tellin' ya - for those of us with gnat-like patience, its a conspiracy to make us buy other books as we wait!

When I got back from the doctor yesterday I was cold and had a headache and just felt blah. So I thought I'd lay down a bit and warm up. Of course I fell asleep! A 2 1/2 hour nap.
Needless to say I wasn't very tired in the evening - so I finally finished up My Stroke of Insight.
Today I'm going to knit/watch a DVD and then maybe read a bit of one of the other half dozen books I have going!
