I just finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King and beginning The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. King's book was very good and I'm looking forward to The Hunger Games.

Last night I downloaded this for my Kindle, so this is next on the list and I may start it tonight:
Annabel: A Novel "Kathleen Winter’s luminous debut novel is a deeply affecting portrait of life in an enchanting seaside town and the trials of growing up unique in a restrictive environment. In 1968, into the devastating, spare atmosphere of the remote coastal town of Labrador, Canada, a child is born: a baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor fully girl, but both at once. Only three people are privy to the secret—the baby’s parents, Jacinta and Treadway, and a trusted neighbor and midwife, Thomasina. Though Treadway makes the difficult decision to raise the child as a boy named Wayne, the women continue to quietly nurture the boy’s female side. And as Wayne grows into adulthood within the hyper-masculine hunting society of his father, his shadow-self, a girl he thinks of as “Annabel,” is never entirely extinguished. Kathleen Winter has crafted a literary gem about the urge to unveil mysterious truth in a culture that shuns contradiction, and the body’s insistence on coming home. A daringly unusual debut full of unforgettable beauty, Annabel introduces a remarkable new voice to American readers." from [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Annabel-A-Novel-ebook/dp/product-description/B004I6DD2O/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=133140011&s=digital-text"]Amazon.com: Annabel: A Novel eBook: Kathleen Winter: Kindle Store[/ame] I just finished this one... The Red Garden "The Red Garden introduces us to the luminous and haunting world of Blackwell, Massachusetts, capturing the unexpected turns in its history and in our own lives. In exquisite prose, Hoffman offers a transforming glimpse of small-town America, presenting us with some three hundred years of passion, dark secrets, loyalty, and redemption in a web of tales where characters' lives are intertwined by fate and by their own actions. From the town's founder, a brave young woman from England who has no fear of blizzards or bears, to the young man who runs away to New York City with only his dog for company, the characters in The Red Garden are extraordinary and vivid: a young wounded Civil War soldier who is saved by a passionate neighbor, a woman who meets a fiercely human historical character, a poet who falls in love with a blind man, a mysterious traveler who comes to town in the year when summer never arrives. At the center of everyone’s life is a mysterious garden where only red plants can grow, and where the truth can be found by those who dare to look. Beautifully crafted, shimmering with magic, The Red Garden is as unforgettable as it is moving." from [ame="http://www.amazon.com/The-Red-Garden-ebook/dp/product-description/B004J4WL6O/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=133140011&s=digital-text"]Amazon.com: The Red Garden eBook: Alice Hoffman: Kindle Store[/ame] |

"Women who run with the wolves"
Read the chapter on "The Ugly Duckling" the other night. There were some lessons to absorb from the story that were enlightening. But mostly, it made me feel pretty blessed and grateful because I've enjoyed a great deal of acceptance in my life from family, friends and peers. |

I have given in and picked up the first book from a series that is on HBO. Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, so far so good.

My best friend just gave me this book for my girls to read. I haven't given it to them yet as I wanted to peruse it first. Do you think it's age appropriate for a 13 & 10 year old?

I have had the unabridged version of Stranger in a Strange Land (it's about 1/4 longer than the original version published in 1961) in my bookcase for a long time. Bored with murder mysteries I decided to read it again after maybe 30 years. I am about half way through it....
boy I had forgotten how bad sexism really was then....and some homophobia....but the story is still a great one..... off to 'grok' it more....

I just chewed through those on my Kindle. I'll be re-reading them. Lots of interesting themes. Tawse, it's pretty brutal. The 13 yr old yes, but if the 10 yr old is prone to nightmares, I'd hold off for a year or so. |

I just finished reading archaeologist David Graeber's book!
Graeber's compelling evidence presents a stunning reversal of conventional of how economics has been construed for eons. I found this book very interesting and could not put it down. I'm keeping this book (strong recommendation). http://www.powells.com/biblio/71-978...mid=48972&jb=0 |

"The Rules of Civility" by Amor Towles and "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" series. And..because I can never read just ONE book (or two in this case) I am also re-reading several Agatha Christie mysteries.
