I stopped the book towards the beginning. I love travel writing but I found her sense of humor to be condescending or something. Some others on Amazon felt the same way.

Oh, I forgot. I knew I was reading a good book! I'm also reading:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Roseannearchy-Dispatches-Farm-Roseanne-Barr/dp/B00509COIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376622556&sr=8-1&keywords=Rosannearchy"]Amazon.com: Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm: Roseanne Barr: Books[/ame] I didn't expect to like this book but I'm loving it! It's a memoir by Rosanne Barr that focuses a lot on: -her experience growing up as a fat child -her many years as part of a lesbian feminist collective (even though she's straight, she has a lesbian sister- and they are politically aligned) -her fierce feminism and living outside the box It has some very interesting and moving stories and also is very funny! I tend to prefer reading books on feminist theory by lesbians but Rosanne really holds her own. Surprisingly enjoyable read.

I've just started reading ' The unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'. It's different to what I usually read as I'm a non fiction person mainly. So far it's enjoyable.

just began this one, but really like it so far.
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Paint-Black-Novel-Janet-Fitch/dp/0316067148/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376976972&sr=1-2"]Paint it Black--Janet Fitch[/ame]
blurb from Amazon: Josie Tyrell, art model, runaway, and denizen of LA's rock scene finds a chance at real love with Michael Faraday, a Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist. But when she receives a call from the coroner, asking her to identify her lover's body, her bright dreams all turn to black. As Josie struggles to understand Michael's death and to hold onto the world they shared, she is both attracted to and repelled by his pianist mother, Meredith, who blames Josie for her son's torment. Soon the two women are drawn into a twisted relationship that reflects equal parts distrust and blind need. With the luxurious prose and fever pitch intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch weaves a spellbinding tale of love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence. "Lushly written, dramatically plotted. . . Fitch's Los Angeles is so real it breathes." -Atlantic Monthly |

Crackpot Palace by Jeffrey Ford
From the Back Cover From the unparalleled imagination of award-winning author Jeffrey Ford come twenty short stories (one, "The Wish Head," written expressly for this collection) that boldly redefine the world. Crackpot Palace is a sumptuous feast of the unexpected—an unforgettable journey that will carry readers to amazing places, though at times the locales may seem strangely familiar, almost like home. Whether he's tracking ghostly events on the border of New Jersey's mysterious Pine Barrens or following a well-equipped automaton general into battle, giving a welcome infusion of new blood to the hoary vampire trope or exposing the truth about what really went down on Dr. Moreau's Island of Lost Souls, Jeffrey Ford has opened a door into a dark and fantastic realm where dream and memory become one.

I'm actually reading two books, because SOMEONE stole my book while camping...
Animal Farm by George Orwell. I THINK this was required reading in high school...but I don't remember reading it. Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novel by George Orwell, published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union.[1] Orwell, a democratic socialist,[2] was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, especially after his experiences with the NKVD and the Spanish Civil War.[3] The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin "une conte satirique contre Stalin",[4] and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), he wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he had tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole". and for my new selection whilest I wait for this one back I am reading, The Reluctant Saint: St. Francis of Assisi by Donald Spoto Acclaimed biographer Donald Spoto strips away the legends from the life of Francis of Assisi to reveal the true story of a man who has too often been obscured by pious iconography. Drawing on unprecedented access to unexplored archives, plus Francis's own letters, Spoto places Francis within the context of the multifaceted ecclesiastical, political, and social forces of medieval Italy, casting new light on Francis and showing how his emphasis on charity as the heart of the Gospel's message helped him pioneer a new social movement. This nuanced portrait reveals the multifaceted character of a man who can genuinely be said to have changed the course of history.

I am now reading...
Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived by Ralph Helfer Spanning seven decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most amazing true animal stories ever told. Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again; through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. Modoc is a captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure, to be treasured by animal lovers everywhere.

I'm trying to finish up The Ethical Slut so I can really get into In the Garden of Beasts. I tried to multitask and I sort of suck at it.
