Its May - what are you reading?
Past the Bleachers - Chris Bohjalian. So not my favorite of his - not sure I will finish it. I've loved everything else of his recently though.

I'm still reading Vanity Fair, but I also just started A Spot of Bother, which I like to say repeatedly in a British accent.
So far it's good. It's from the same guy who wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

I'm on the library wait list for a bunch of books, including some you guys recommended!
At this moment I'm reading Candy Girl by Diablo Cody - the stripper who wrote Juno. I'm also reading Peace Like a River and Shift Happens! by the same author as Happiness Now!

Poor Diablo Cody. She won the Oscar - can we not just call her a screenwriter yet?Malanee wrote: the stripper who wrote Juno.

Re: Its May - what are you reading?
I have read two books so far this month. The first is Thanks for the Memories by Cecelia Ahern (author of PS I Love you). It was meh. I found myself skimming pages to make it go faster.
And I just (as in 2 minutes ago) finished At a Loss for Words by Diane Schoemperlen. It was small and a fast read. I started reading it last night before bed and I just finished it in the last hour and a half. It was really really good. I'm going to seek out more of her work.

I'm reading "Light a Penny Candle" by Maeve Binchy. It's her first book. I'm enjoying it quite a lot, too.
On audio, I'm still reading "Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Graeme (sp?). It's pretty good. I haven't been walking enough, though, I'm not making very good progress.

Last week I read a so-so chick lit called Farm Fatale by Wendy Holden. Now I'm reading About a Boy by Nick Hornby.

Re: Its May - what are you reading?
I just started reading Little Children. I'm only about 5 chapters in, but it's really good.
Re: Its May - what are you reading?
Noted Crystal!
I just read Augusten Burroughs Possible side effects. It was awesome. My favorite story is Little Cruxifictions. READ IT.
Did I mention I'm reading three cups of tea? I'm in the middle and getting a little bored.
I'm reading two really good books with young kids and parrots. How random is that? One is called the Parrot's Theorem and the other is called The Final Solution - which is written by the write of The Amazing Adventure of Kavalier and Clay - by Michael Chabon.

Re: Its May - what are you reading?
I just finished Infected by Scott Sigler. Amazon kept sticking it on my "recommended" list so I got it from the library. It was really good if you like the "sickness to end the world" type of theme.
Not sure what's next on the pile.

Don't laugh at me! I picked up a book called "The Shy Single", because geez eff, I need to do something to fix this situation. I don't think it's necessarily just about dating, but social confidence in general. Here's hoping...
