What are you reading these days?

Dave Barry's "Boogers are my Beat".

It's driving DH insane because I keep giggling. It's also taking forever to read, because I read one chapter a night, and the chapters in it are only like 2.5 pages long.

What Comes After Crazy - Sandi Kahn Shelton

Not sure what I think yet. I've gotten a string of "bad" books from the library lately.

Hate that.

I'm reading A Million Little Pieces. I like it, but I'm ready for some hope now. I'm on page 180.

I should definitely stop reading it when I'm eating. He pukes at least once every other page, and he describes it very vividly. Is that a word?

Post by **Spudd** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 1:29 pm

Oh, gross! Is it about an eating disorder?

No, he was an alcoholic and drug addict.

Check it out.

It's pretty good.

I just finished Wicked this morning and loved it!

I'm thinking of rereading the Harry Potter book of the movie that's coming out on the 11/18.

I have to read so much for school here lately that nothing serious is appealing right now.

More museum books. Right now, Displays of Power by Steven Dubin -- about controversies in the American Museum.

At home, I am still reading Les Mis

Um... I'm reading Can You Keep A Secret by Sophie Kinsella. But really I'm posting because there were 6 6 6 posts in this forum and it was creeping me out.

How do you like it, Crystal? I've read all but the last book of the Shopaholic series. I like Kinsella, but I sort of needed a break from her style of writing, y'know? Your a literary person - what are your thoughts? Worth the read? Can I borrow it from you?

Crystal Meth · Post by **Crystal Meth** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 3:25 pm

It's okay. Totally brainless. Like Shopaholic, she has that way of making her main character sound like a dithering airhead. But I can't read anything "literary" while I'm in school. You know how you're thinking all day, you don't want to come home and have to think too?

You can borrow it if you like, but I'll want it back since my mom gave it to me as a present, and she'd be mad if I got rid of it.

Totally - that's why I watch nothing but the Style Network and music videos

No, that's okay then . . . I am awful at returning things!

I am reading The Working Poor by David Shipler. Loving it so far - but I'm only a few pages in
