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. BBinNYC |

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....
For my studies I am reading Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality; Holding Yin, Embracing Yang, and Nourishing the Essence of the Body, and The Essential Tao. For my Buddhist studies, I am reading Hinayana; The Heart Sutra; The Lotus Sutra; and The Path. For fun I am reading Honesty and Death and listening to Books: A Memoir.
Think that's enough? Lady_Wu

Just loaded my new eReader up with "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and got almost halfway through it today. Then I start "Bullet" by Laurell Hamilton. And "Before Roe v. Wade: Voices that Shaped the Abortion Debate" for my book club.

"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"

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?

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

Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter--Barbara Robinette Moss
I just finished reading her other (first...I did it backwards) memoir, Fierce, so I am kind of overwhelmed with this protagonist and her family ... I keep putting the book down to take a break. |

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!
