What are you reading now (October)?
I just wanted to start this!
I finished Dress Your Family... this weekend. I liked it. Not what I was expecting. I actually read dh a few chapters (he hates reading).
On my library stack to be read are:
Ever Green - Susan Fletcher
Human Capital - Stephen Amidon
A Complicated Kindness - Miriam Toews
Not sure what I'll start with. They are all new authors to me. Probably will start with Human Capital.

I'm reading Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz and The Romantic Movement by Alain de Botton. The former is pure fun, the latter is fun with philosophy. I'm enjoying them both.

I posted this in the September topic, but no one replied and I'm still reading them anyway.
I'm reading a book on writing by Margaret Atwood.
And I'm also reading "The Introvert Advantage." I usually hate self-help books, but this one is really helping me!

I'm reading a book called "E: A Novel". It's set in a crazy ad agency, and told entirely in e-mails. It is pants-pissingly funny! I was guffawing out loud in a coffee shop today.

I'm reading Brick Lane by Monica Ali. It's a bit slow, but it's right up my alley. I'm enjoying it.
Oh wow - that sounds really interesting!SÃlvia wrote:I'm reading Brick Lane by Monica Ali. It's a bit slow, but it's right up my alley. I'm enjoying it.
It is, LB, but it's kinda slow. Don't expect too much action. Though right now it's 2001 (the book starts at her birth in 1967 and then goes to 1985) and there's been a lot of tension between muslims and non-muslims in their community, and I'm curious to know what will happen to our hero after September 11th.

I just finished reading A Cook's Tour - In Search of the Perfect Meal by Anthony Bourdain. LOVED IT. He is so hilarious. He traveled the world, subjecting himself to various cultures "specialty" foods, sometimes getting really sick and other times loving it.
He also rags on the other Food Network chefs and about making a cooking tv show. Funny stuff.
I'm right in the middle of Wicked right now and really liking it. Has anyone read any of Gregory's MacGuire's other books - Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister or Son of Witch?
