I recommend Beautiful Boy by David Sheff if anyone is looking for a book to read. It was really good (and quite sad). I'm almost done with Friday Night Lights. Good book but totally horrifying. Today I picked up Tweak by Nic Sheff and sTORItelling by Tori Spelling. I couldn't decided between serious...

I'm in the middle of reading Beautiful Boy by David Sheff - It's very good. I also reading Bringing Down the House - it's the book the movie 21 is based on. I got it ages ago and forgot about it until the movie trailer came out. Book was really interesting. The movie looks like it's going to sucked ...

I'm reading Heat , a book about apprenticing to a famous and somewhat crazy Italian Chef (non fiction). It's by Bill Buford, a criticallly acclaimed writer, and I just noticed it's a national bestseller. I'm about 60 pages in, and it's pretty good. I also read the Mammoth Book of Polar Explorations...

I finished reading Rocky Horror from Concept to Cult. Pretty good overall.

I just started reading The Namsake by Jhumpa Lahiri. I really like it so far. Did anyone see the movie? Was it any good?

I attempted to read Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs but I just couldn't get into it.

That stuff has been around for ages.

I forgot to post on here for Nov! So far I've read: I am America....and so can you - Stephen Colbert - funny, but some of the humor doesn't translate that well to text Bergdorf Blondes - Plum Sykes - Cute fluff book About ten pregnancy/baby books. I can't read anymore! I need to go to B&N tomorr...

I finished up A Glass Darkly and now I'm reading The American Plague about the Yellow Fever epidemic. It's really good so far.

I'm reading Through a Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen. It's set in 18th century France and England.

I never thought I would be into historical fiction, but I'm loving this book. And it's long....which makes it even better.

I'm reading Sin in the Second City, which is about the Everleigh brothel in Chicago in the 1900's by Karen Abbott. It's very interesting.

Malanee wrote:I'm now reading Dry by Augusten Burroughs. He wrote Running w/ Scissors. It's quite good!

I loved both of those books.

I just picked up Sin in the Second City by Karen Abbott, which is about The Everleigh Club, a brothel in Chicago in the early 1900's.

Anna wrote:The Other Boleyn Girl, it will probably be awhile before I finish it though

Anna, I loved that book! I'm almost afraid to try her other books because I'm afraid I won't like them as much.

I just finishing The Kitchen Boy - A Novel of the Last Tsar . It was really good - it's not that long - I got really into in and finished it in about 2 days. It's about the last days of the Romanovs - the author did a lot of research and incorporated many authentic documents from the Russian archive...

So far this month I've read:

For my Lit class:
Genesis
The Odyssey
Beowulf

For pleasure
Harry Potter 7
A Map of the World (though it was a struggle to finish)

I'm currently reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It is FANTASTIC. I can't put it down.

That is not a good picture of Wentworth Miller!

He looks different with that little bit of hair since he's bald on Prison Break.

I don't get the appeal - he's to pretty!

Can I just comment that this thread is hilarious?

Also, that I too knew Cathy's dogs names!

New tagline! New tagline!

Nice haul you got!

Stacy wrote:I am re-reading The Poisonwood Bible. Love that book!!

One of my absolute favorites!

I'm planning to buy The Nasty Bits by Anthony Bourdain tonight.

I finished Marley & Me - good book but I cried through the last 4 chapters! Now I'm reading Jenna Jameson's autobiography since Aly has raved about it. It's a thick book so I thought it would last me awhile, but it's REALLY good and I'm almost done with it. I think my next book is going to be An...

I think I'm going to start reading Marley & Me, but I have to read it at home alone. I just know bad stuff will happen to the dog in the book and I'll cry like a big baby and Jeff will laugh at me. Also, not cool to cry on the train to/from work!
