Sometimes I read more than one at a time.

ATM I am reading all of Maya Angelou's autobigraphies printed in one big book. Saw it at the library and grabbed it. /:'

Truth doesn't always win friends but it influences them

Yep, Wish - I got Chronicles of Narnia and just finished Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Two more books to go!

"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

I just finished Eragon/Eldest and Da Vinci Code. I'm taking a break

I wish I had the time to read as much as I used to. Pretty much these day's, if I am reading it is to my sons. Various Thomas the Tank Engine books, Dr. Seuss, If You Give a Moose a Muffin. Real Classics!

Although, I am eagerly waiting for the 12th and final Book of the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan, to be published.

"Various Thomas the Tank Engine books, Dr. Seuss, If You Give a Moose a Muffin. Real Classics!"

Good for you slick! We need more dad's like that!

Hey rick, give "king bidgoods in the Bathtub" and "sheep in a shop" a try

Not sure what age range you've got but the former is great for all ages, the latter is for a slightly younger crowd although still good...I think I still have it memorized from when my youngest was learning to read at age 4 .

Youngest sister that is .

Now reading 'Autograph Man' by Zadie Smith. She's the kind of writer that makes me just want to give up - she's amazing.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde

I think it is called "The taste of memory".... food themed library book.... still workin' my way through the titles on that bookmark.

While we're speaking of reading, does anyone have "reading disease" like me where, when you start reading a really great book, you just can't seem to put it down???

I started "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule this weekend and I can't stop reading it. I stayed up until 1:30 am reading it and had to get up at 6:30 am to get ready for work. It drives me crazy, but I just could NOT put it down. I brought it to work with me today hoping to sneak in a few chapters.....I'm a sick woman.

Anybody else suffer form this??

P/S: Reading about Ted Bundy late at night is a serious mistake for a single mom!! I was uber-paranoid when I finally did put it down and went around checking that all my windows were locked. Good thing too, one was unlocked... a Serial Killer could have sneaked in.

Don't give yourself a heart attack!!
I'm the same way reading though, I can't put something down if its really good.

It's hard not to be paranoid when you're reading about killers.... LOL I can't believe that window was unlocked....thank goodness for the Ted Bundy book or I might have just been robbed.

crazyred- Does your yellow lab welcome strangers in & shows them where your valuables are?

I have 4 indoor dogs. I don't worry about strangers.

They say, we become what we behold. If you're not going to become a serial killer, then you are going to be a nervous wreck just reading about them. Stop that!
Or at least just take a break.

LOL, good point. Rose (my yellow lab) would lose it if anyone came into my house. heheheh. It's just too easy to realize what can happen out there when you read about stuff like that. I think it's a good example of 'what not to do'.

FYI: Ladies, don't let a stranger with a seemingly broken arm, leg or any other appendage talk you into helping him do anything at or in his car no matter how gorgeous and 'normal' he seems. That's how Bundy made off with most of his victims. Only a few were attacked in their homes.

heh, our golden retriever would greet a stranger and show him the valuables...

Last semester there was a guy near our campus who was acting drunk to trick a girl into going to his apartment with him. Fortunately she got away, but not until after a lot of really bad stuff

Back on topic though, I'm currently enjoying The Silver Chair

HP&THBP is on my bedside table that happens to be for sale on craigslist the table not the library book.

But I've not had a chance to read it again, luggage restrictions have been my choice of lit

"Goodnight Nobody" by Jennifer Weiner.

Almost done.

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

I'm poring over the venerable Innes book again. Because there's a chance that my LFS has acquired some rare and oddball Characins. They don't look like your regular bread and butter Characins, and my first thought upon seeing them was "Wonder if that's Mimagoniates microlepis?" As you do of course

Having got the book in front of me, I'm wondering now if they might be Glandulocauda inequalis. Hmm, both Innes AND Fishbase seem to be struggling over this one.

Chances are he'll have sold the lot before I get chance to go back with the camera because he only had 12 in to start with. Sigh.

reading AA's and United Airline's list of luggage restrictions.

i've been reading schroedinger's cat by robert anton wilson. it's been subtly reminding me why i like to read

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

Peter Jackson - a film makers journey by Brian Sibley. I didnt like it that much. I was expecting more anecdotes but it was pretty boring. 2/3rds of the book was about lord of the rings or king kong and on the other 1/3rd 'lord of the rings' or 'king kong' was referanced on every second page. What I was hoping to find was more actual stories about the cast and crews on filming of his earlier films. Im sure there were many amusing tales but all I found was a lot of blurb about getting approval from film houses.

I just picked up my december copy of TFH and am going to read that for a bit.

Advanced Human Physiology

P.S Doesn't Babel look pretty in that photo!!!

"Underfoot" by Lianne Banks.

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

Rinehart & Associates NCLEX-RN Reviews and Seminars. The dreadful test is 2/15/07. Hopefully by the following Monday I will be an RN.

After that I am waiting on Terry Goodkind again. I am going to read the beginning of George R. R. Martin's series to see if holds any interest for me.

Babel does look beautiful in that shot... but my fave is still the walking in the snow one (v Arwen-esque)

I am now reading "The secret life of Oscar Wilde" by Ian McSomething

Arts we're reading Zlata's Diary. And in Beginning ESL Reading and Lang. Arts it changes daily or so it seems...someone save me!!!

-->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--

"The Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green River Killer" by Robert Keppel.

He was the one of the main detectives on the 'Ted murders' in the Pacific Northwest that ended up being committed by Ted Bundy, so when this Green River Killer in Washington State started on his rampage, Keppel went to the "ultimate" serial killer for advice on how to catch him. Very interesting psychological study, indeed.

Incidentally, Rovert Keppel is the only guy to whom Ted Bundy fully and freely confessed before being executed...they were most shocking confessions indeed.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

My book of choice changes daily, but usually consists of light reads that I read between calls at work. Currently working in a inbound call center and any stories with more "bulk" to them get a bit confusing when you only read a moment here or there and get interrupted by the people that call. *rolls eyes* Thus, the succession of uh... "bodice rippers" if you want to call them that. Trashy romance novels of the fast-reading variety.

I tried bringing in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's soul... bad choice. Kitten tends to tear up a bit at some of those stories. Callers don't need to hear me all choked up.

I just "inherited" my aunt's cat on Sunday (I'll make a post in the near future showing off Lucky), so I've been beefing up on my cat-knowledge. Much as I love cats and am obviously affiliated with them, I've never had one of my very own before, so I'm doing some necessary reading. I'm in the middle of a book titled "Is my cat ok? : how to know... when your cat won't say" by Jeff Nichol. Interesting read, actually, and the author thinks he's a bit of a clown. Amusing.

Props to goldfishgeek... I love Laurell K Hamilton books and own almost all of her books. Just got finished re-reading Mistrel's Kiss and Danse Macabre.

In any case, I mostly read fiction, heavy into the fantasy aspect of things. I only read nonfiction when I'm in the mood or am interested in learning something on the subject, thus the cat books. *shrugs*

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~
