What are you reading? Anything great? I was reading a book I had picked up at the used paberback store. Had finished all but the last chapter when I left it sit to go do something else for a little. Miss Ginger ate the last chapter:eek: Amazingly, (the book had been laying upside down) she tore all of the last pages out and consumed the majority of it before I caught her. Sigh.....so now I'm looking at starting In the Woods by Tana French. Anyone read it? Or read anything else great lately? BTW, before you worry too much about little miss paper eater, this is her thing. I know how and when to worry, how to help things slide through, and how to induce vomiting when she eats something that requires it. She is my paper hound. I DO have covered trash cans, covered tp holders, etc., I just had a momentary lapse of judgement. |
Oh no! That's horrible! I guess she just thought the ending didn't do the rest of the book justice. :) I just finished reading Mitch Albom's books (Five people you meet in heaven, Tuesdays with Morrie, and that other one I forgot about). Those were pretty good. I also enjoyed Neil deGrasse Tyson's book The Pluto Files. He talks about the rise and fall of Pluto in a way that's informative but also has cute little anecdotes that will definitely make you laugh and keep you interested. Although, I'm sure the book isn't for everyone. But if you want to know why Pluto was destroyed (figuratively), then you should give it a go! I also have the Marley and Me book ... but I don't want to cry, so I've been putting off reading it for forever. lol |

No kidding on Marley and Me. Everyone I know keeps trying to get me to read that book. I guess they figure since I'm a dog lover I should. You know what? I can't handle the pain!!!;) Actually, the Pluto book sounds interesting... |
I am reading Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. It is an incredible book that takes a look at how we define success. I did read the Mitch Albom's books (Five people you meet in heaven, Tuesdays with Morrie. One of my favorite all time books is Flirting with Pete, by Barbara Delinsky. |
Ooh. I saw Gladwell talk about his book on The Daily Show ... or maybe it was The Colbert Report? and I'd been wondering if it was good. I'll definitely have to add it to the list. Sigh. Book buying makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. |

It's an addiction ... one of the better ones, but still ... :) Is there a rehab for excessive book buying? :rolleyes: |

I know what you mean though. I really like to buy books, and I'm picky about the kind of cover they have and paper they are on too. |
Right now I'm reading non-fiction - "The Six Wives of Henry the 8th" - I know it may sound dorky, but I LOVE it...and I love English history, especially during Tudor times and the Regency. |

I'm currently reading Timline, but Michael Crichton. Hopefully I will have time to finish it before I go out of town this week. It's pretty good...a bit confusing at first and took me a bit to really get interested in it. But I have found that is the case for any book I've ever read by him. |

I'm reading a book called The Secret Scripture. It's about a 100 year old Irish woman who is in an insane asylum, and she's writing her life story. It's really interesting because it also has notes from the main doctor/psychiatrist. I love it! |
Oh wow. If I ever get the opportunity, I definitely will. He's always seemed informative in a funny, entertaining way on television. I'm sure it's even better when he doesn't have such a short time limit. Yes, I believe he did. I can't remember anything about it, but I seem to recall him talking about a team. He spoke about a few different examples. |

Then I have about 6 or 8 books I've read that are about "life" in the 17th/18th century - those books cover culture, society, customs, etiquette, courting, food, servants, economy, etcetera - LOVE it! It's just so interesting to get a peek at how people really used to conduct their lives. |
