I just picked up Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell today, and I'm already sucked in.

Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger
It came up in another book I was reading and I remember hearing the title quite a few times in the past. Seems like it was a book most school gave to read but we never did. I do remember reading MacBeth in highschool though.

Currently reading Lori's Song- Its a true story about an American woman who was held captive in Iran. Needless to say, it isn't for the faint of heart. Regardless of the struggle, she survived and overcame her deepest darkest fears.

Because who just reads one at a time?
1. "Looking for the Gulf Motel" by Richard Blanco
A poetry book (he was the poet chosen by Pres. Obama for the inaguration) that is a collection of three movements taking the reader from childhood to adulthood. "As a child born into the milieu of his Cuban exiled familia, the first movement delves into early questions of cultural identity and their evolution into his unrelenting sense of displacement and quest for the elusive meaning of home. The second, begins with poems peering back into family again, examining the blurred lines of gender, the frailty of his father-son relationship, and the intersection of his cultural and sexual identities as a Cuban-American gay man living in rural Maine. In the last movement, poems focused on his mother’s life shaped by exile, his father’s death, and the passing of a generation of relatives, all provide lessons about his own impermanence in the world and the permanence of loss." 2. "Life Traces of the Georgia Coast" by Anthony Martin "This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces), a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. " and with the kiddo at bedtime; 3. "Follow My leader" by James Garfield I recall reading this as a child and enjoying the book. The story follows a young boy who is blinded by a fireworks accident. He has to re-learn all the things he used to know but without the advantage of sight. He is finally given the chance to have a guide dog which is where the learning (and adventure) really begins.

Founding Mothers, by Cokie Roberts
I picked this up on a whim... I had read the biography of John and Abigail Adams and thought this would be an excellent parallel. And it IS!

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the trilogy is really good.

I just started The Killer Wore Leather: A Mystery by Laura Antoniou. If you've ever been to a leather contest or a BDSM event, you'll love this book. I can't say yet how it holds up as a mystery, but Antoniou's keen eye and sharp wit note all the details of a leather pageant, from the behind-the-scenes workings of the event to the smorgasbord of BDSM identities and personalities.
I'm just two chapters into it, and there have been a few places where I laughed out loud at the dialogue-- not because it's farcical, but because it's so damned TRUE ("Go find boy Jack. No, the other boy Jack."). No master, slave or pony boy is safe from Antoniou's gentle jabs. But I also see a love for her characters, and am already invested. Going back to read more!
