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?

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

I just finished How to be Famous by Alison Bond. It was one of those books where people's lives intertwine, and I thought it was neat how I ended up liking and disliking different characters than I thought I would.

I've got The Wonder Spot by Melissa Bank next. Oh, and I'm still reading Freakonomics. It's fascinating.

Yikes! I can't believe it's a new month already!!!

Since I'm doing NaNo, I'm reading books on writing:

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

and

No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty (founder of NaNoWriMo)

Keep reading Silvia - it will be worth it!

Here's me:

Judas Child - a thriller by Carol O'Connell
Moving Mars - sci fi by Greg Bear
No Logo - Naomi Klein
Les Miserables (neverending)
Missed Connections - a book about the hearing impaired. I have a friend who is hearing impaired who recommended it.
The Bookman's Wake - a mystery by???

I gave up on The Wonder Spot. I couldn't get into it.

Now I'm reading A Girl Named Zippy, recommended by Ruth. I'm loving it!

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?

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

I just finished The Gift Bag Chronicles by Hilary DeVries. It was actually better than the first few pages had me believing.

Now I'm reading French Women Don't Get Fat by Mirielle Guilano and Match me if you can by Susan Elizabeth Philips.

I just started the painted drum - our book club Louise Erdrich, our book club book.

Wait, is that the book club book?
