What are you reading right now?  Or if you're not reading anything at the moment -- what is your favorite book?

"Dancing In The Dark"  and so far it's a yuck book...   last week I went to library and got about six books...  some authors I know, some I don't...   "you win some, you lose some"

Currently I'm reading The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. 

I just read "A Clockwork Orange", I'm just about finished with "Bonfire of the Vanities", and then I'm going to read an odd King crime novel (very noir).

I am reading "P.S., I Love You" by Cecelia Ahern. I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie.

"I Can Do It" by Louise L. Hay.  Positive affirmations and life skills.  Should help with this.  Favorites are "The Cat Who" series

Bodies That Matter by Judith Butler, for my thesis. Very interesting, but difficult to grasp at points.

 Have you read Diary? That is C R A Z Y. I'm currently reading The Bhagavad Gita.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

Amelia Bedelia

I LOVE Amelia Bedelia.

I'm trying to read Dickens ... get about twenty pages in at a time and then put it down in favour of pulp fiction/chick lit.

"Reading multiple books at the same time is like channel surfing for intellectuals." -- ME

• The Entire Universe in an Atom, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
• The Gym Bible
• A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson
• Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Yes... all four. At the same time. My brain is totally amazing.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson,

The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

Gregor and the code of claw by Suzanne Collins.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver - it is awesome!

I just read two Sara Gruen books, and while I am not totally in love with LONG novels I couldn't put the first one nor her sequel down.  Sequels typically aren't as good of reads but she is an AWESOME writer, and what I mean by that is that she writes about things that everyone can relate to.  Seriuosly to get me to read two huge books like that, it HAS to be good.

The first one is called Riding Lessons

and the second one is called Flying Chances.

Don't worry, not into horses? i'm not really either and they aren't even really about horses.  Also, she just put out another novel called Water for Elephants and although it has a murder and I won't be reading it, I hjave heard from the borders online book club video meetings that it's a great book!

I am currently reading "Saving fish From Drowning" by Amy Tan. Excellent book! I am also deep into "The Complete Works of Ibsen" which are short plays and I only read it in spurts, because it's a hard slog.  I just finished  a novel called "Omamori" about WW11 Japan, amazing novel.
