| I have several books I'm about to dive into The Secret Life of Bees The (story or journey) or Edgar Sawtelle (spelling ?) I'm trying to find a new novel for my 9th graders next year. I get a little tired of reading the same book after a couple of years.

Thor's Human Donating Member | The Pluto book sounds really interesting! I'm still poring over that doggie body language book I mention in every post. There is so much information in it, I need to review it like six more times. I still need to read Day of the Locust for my book club, having trouble getting started, by which I mean, opening it. I also picked up this year's Pullitzer Prize winner for fiction, Olive Kitteridge: Fiction. I thought last year's winner, The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was one of the best books I've read in a while, but everyone else in my book club hated it, so there you go. I find that Amazon's monthly picks are excellent, that's the first place I go for recs nowadays.

| The Pluto Files was such a breath of fresh air for me. I had been reading James Patterson books (the first and second of the Alex Cross series and the first of the women's murder club) and I disliked them all. I know that they're best sellers and all, but I just found it trite and slow-paced. So when I finally sat down and read that one, it was so nice. In interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson is so funny, so I was thankful his books continued to express his good-natured humour. I'm going to start his other book as soon as I finish Obama's Dreams From My Father. Tyson's other book is Death by Black Hole. Can't wait! (Uh oh. I just totally showed my secret dorkiness into loving space and stuff. I have to learn to keep that hidden! ) I've never thought about reading any of the Pulitzer Prize winners ... I don't know why. I'll definitely have to give those books a go! ... and the book list continues to grow.

| I'm currently reading, "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. It's Fiction and I usually like to read Non-Fiction books but I am loving this book. I love to read & I do have my next book I want to read its " Who's The Dummy Now?" by Terry Fator. He's the one who won America's Got Talent. The next time I'm in Las Vegas, I so....want to go see his show. He's playing at The Mirage out there.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Hee hee, I love space books too. I'm totally into relativity, quantum physics, black holes, and string theory, so long as it is dumbed down to my level. "The Elegant Universe" is about string theory, and it's very accessible. Supposedly "real" physicists hate the author because he's like the cheap suit, used car salesman of string theory. But he's the only one us normal folks can understand. The "Best American Science Writing" series is excellent, they do a digest of science articles every year. I personally think it's way better than "Best of Science and Nature Writing", so make sure you look at the right title if you check it out at amazon.

| Yay! I'm glad to find another space dork LOL I've heard that book is pretty good. I'll have to give it a go. Yeah, who cares what other physicists think of him as long as it's simple enough for me to understand! As far as the series, I've never heard of it, but I'll definitely have to look that up on Amazon. I really like Michio Kaku's books. He does a lot of the theoretical physics stuff as well and he simplifies things wonderfully with great, simple examples and anecdotes.

| I'm reading On Hinds Legs even though I must have read it 10 times already. It's an alagory(sp) about a persons life, and how the get to follow God. Very interesting, and I find something new everytime I read it.

Right now Im reading fluff... Dean Koontz... the darkest evening of the year. Its about golden retrievers actually. Its ok, not something I would or would not recommend. If you like him, read False Memory... it gave me chills for years.. it's not supernatural scary, but it almost makes you wonder if things like this can really happen in real life! That is the most scary of all! Pillars of the Earth was GREAT ... long but a really great read!

Do you like classic lit? I mean, Jane Austen, for example - but if you like that era, I can't recommend highly enough Anthony Trollope's "The Eustace Diamonds". It's almost sacrilege to say this...but I almost think his book beat Austen in this case.

| Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs is the book I just finished. She also wrote the Friday Night Knitting Club. I have just started The Kitchen Boy by Robert Alexander. I love to read especially when it's raining and of course nothing beats a good book on the beach or on a long plane trip.
