I'm reading a really good book called Mme. Proust and the Kosher Kitchen. Go read it now.

I loved Three Junes, Ruth.

Let's see... I finished The Kite Runner a few days ago. You guys were right, it IS wonderful. I thought the beginning was a little slow, though.

Then I finished The Romantic Movement by Alain de Botton. I started it about 2 months ago, was hating the main character and stopped. But then a friend said it was good and I decided to finish it. Well, the main character did get more interesting towards the end, but it was just an ok book.

Ruth, I love Animal Farm.

I am reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime." I am also reading some Dean Koontz book, the name of which escapes me, largely because my son has misplaced it for me.

I just started listening to Bait and Switch - The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream by Barbara Ehrenreich. I love audiobooks - thanks, Spudd!

I just finished Sweetwater Creek by Anne Rivers Siddons. It was ok. Not her best. She does have a way with coming-of-age-stories though.

Now I'm reading the uber fluffy Undomestic Goddess. Does Sophie Kinsella EVER think of deviating from her formula? Probably not. But I'm on holidays and don't want to think too hard anyway.

I know what you mean - that's why I stopped with her books after the third Shopaholic book . . . I couldn't bear to take another trip with Becky (and her clones in the other books). Let me know if you like it!

Well Eric got me a CSI book for Xmas b/c he couldn't find Wifey, I guess I need to at least attempt to read it.
