What are you reading (Apr 2006)?
Good grief, people. It's April 10 and we didn't have a new topic!
I just finished Smart Couples Finish Rich and Derailed on audio.
I just started Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution and once I finish that I need to re-evaluate and see what's next to read.
I started listening to Diary on audio and couldn't get into it. I didn't like the person reading it (had the voice of a 60 year old lounge lizard smoker lady) and all the "blah blah blah when this happens take a drink" stuff started pissing me off. Maybe I need to read the actual book. I find that out sometimes...the audio just doesn't get me or the person reading it doesn't suck me in and I need to try the printed version.

D'oh. I posted in the old topic...
*copy* *paste*
I liked Zippy, Ruth. You're safe... FOR NOW.
I just started The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald. (She of Fall on Your Knees fame.) It's really good, her writing is excellent and I'm enjoying the little historical references, some of them Canadian.
The only sucky thing is that I'm reading the hardcover version and it's about 500 pounds. It's really annoying to hold upright, and I can't take it anywhere because it doesn't fit in my purse, and I don't dare read it in bed because I might fall asleep and it will crush me.

I'm re-reading Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein. Love that book. I've probably read it 5 times.
I looked at our book club list and I'm going to skip the next book (Odd Girl Out). It doesn't look like anything that would interest me.
Oh, and on audio I'm listening to "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. It's good so far!

This month I read At First Sight (Nicholas Sparks) which was ok and Mad River Road (Joy Fielding) which I really liked.
I just finished My Friend Leonard (James Frey) - I loved it. I haven't read Million Little Pieces (I'm 19 on the wait list at the library) but I'm assuming this is the sequel? I know, I know all the controversy about it but I read it as fiction.
I need to start something new - I can't remember what's in my pile.
