Happy New Year! Whatcha readin? (Jan 07)
It's 2007!
I am reading Not Buying It by Judith Levine. It's a little slow to start, but I'm really interested in her experience of not buying anything other than necessities for a year. I may need to adopt some of her philosophies!

Just finishing up The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde, and feeling like starting the year off s-m-r-t by reading Anna Karenina (which hopefully has Oprah's stink off of it by now)
You got into this business because you're funny and weird, and you're socially retarded. And because it pays well. - Jack Donaghy, 30 Rock.
I've just given up on Jane Austen's Emma. Waaay too slow-going. Sorry, Crystal, I hope we can still be friends
I'm about to start Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith, the second in the series. I loved the first. I hope this is just as good.

I just finished reading Perfect Match and The Pact both by Jodi Picoult. Next I have Salem Falls and Second Glance both also by Jodi Picoult. I got her newest book, The Tenth Circle for Christmas and had read My Sister's Keeper so I decided I would read all of her books. I really like her writing style. I also have Forever Odd by Dean Koontz.
I'm reading Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith. I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm also reading a book of short stories by a Brazilian writer called LuÃs Fernando Verissimo. It hasn't been translated into English.

I just finished Which Brings me to You by Steve Almond (author of Candyfreak and Julianna Baggott. While I liked the premise (it's told through a series of letters between a man and woman) it just sort of left me cold.
Right now I'm listening to Mindless Eating: Why we eat more than we think by Brian Wansink. It is fascinating and I highly recommend it, either in book or audiobook format.
I also started Twins of Tribeca by Rachel Pine and on page 22 I'm ready to take it back to the library. The subject matter is light chicklit (celebrity crap--a young pr person has to deal with stuff) but the style of writing is BORING.
