What are you reading? (May 2006)
It's May! And the birthday month of a certain insect we all know and love
So, what are you reading right now?
I am reading Suze Orman's Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke.

It's my birth month too. And Anna's! And maybe Ashley's too?
I'm listening to 102 Minutes about the Twin Towers. It's really interesting.
I just finished Confessions of a Video Vixen about a rap video ho and I probably finished it in 2 days, quickest I've read a book in a long time! I also just finished listening to Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and it was good.

I'm reading "The Broker" by John Grisham. I bought it at the airport last week, then when I got home I discovered DH already owned it. Oops. Anyways, it's pretty good. It started off slow but things are getting exciting now.
Oh, and I'm listening to "A Confederacy of Dunces". I forget who it's by. So far I'm not in love with it, I'm hoping it'll pick up.

"y'alls"? Oh, my sensitive grammatical instinct. There's only ONE of Aly, and LB you're from Maryland.Lady Bug wrote:Oh, I didn't know it was y'alls birthday month, too
Ahem... I'm still reading "The Way the Crow Flies"... it's a big book. I also read "Persepolis", which was a really well done graphic novel about a young Arab girl.

I read it in 2 days, so it was good enough that I couldn't put it down! I really just wanted the celeb dirt about who all she slept/messed with.Lady Bug wrote:Did you like the Confessions of a video vixen book? I've been meaning to listen to it on audio . . . because I refuse to actually be seen reading the book. *lol*
Usher, Jay-Z, Bobby Brown, Xzibit, Ja Rule, DMX, among others...
As for the writing quality, it's okay...lacks depth, is a little disjointed in its flow and I found a few errors. It should've been edited better!
I finished The Piano Tuner, which bored me to tears ( I even finished it in 2 100-page sittings. I hate to do that, I usually like to savor my books, but I just wanted to get it over with), and now I'm reading When Nietzsche Wept, and loving it!
Wow Anna, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" is pretty heavy. You'll have to tell me if you like it.
I just finished "Trading Up" by the same author as "SATC" it was good brain candy as our projector bulb burned out so I had no tv Saturday morning until Jeff got up.
Now though I've started the Peanut's blanket so I doubt I'll be reading much.

Don't forget my birthday Crystal!
Sister of My Heart by Divakaruni- about two cousins living in Calcutta.
Atonement by Ian McEwan - I can't get into it. I'm not really sure what it is about, 'cept this girl who likes to write stories.
I'm also reading a PD James novel that's quite good to my suprise. She does formula mystery.
I just finished Junky by William S. Burroughs. Crazy stuff!

Happiness is an inside job.
Same here - but I got burnt out a bit. But coming back to it after many years was kind of fun. Of course, I've lost my book, so I'm super sad.Spudd wrote:I really like PD James. I went through a huge phase where I read tons of her books. I haven't read her in years, maybe I should look for another one.

I just got a bunch of books from the library!
Last night I read the latest Mallory Mystery called The Winter House. I've got the new mysterday by Harlan Coben The Innocent. I also borrowed History of Love, The Confessions of Max Tivoli, Book nine of the Evanovich novels about Stephani Plum, a female bounty hunter; and another mystery called Paradise Lost.
Plenty of reading for all my vacations this month!

I finished 102 Minutes on audio and started Odd Girl Out on Audio, but it's been difficult to get into. It's pretty dry and reads sorta like a psych textbook. At least that's how it has been so far. I'm hoping it'll pick up.
In print I'm reading The Confessions of Max Tivoli. Ruth, have you finished it yet? I like it a lot so far....it's good pumping reading.
