I just finished a book tonight called 'The Red Tent' by Anita somebody. It was very good. I have another by the same author that I plan to start in the morning.

I'm always reading a book. Right now, it's "A Year in the Merde." Very entertaining look at an Englishman living in France. I hope to get to the sequal soon.

I loved the Red Tent! It's a great book.

I'm always reading something. Right now, it's The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It's good but I'm going to have to read it again.

I've always got at least one book going. Right now I have two--I started a book called Freddy & Fredericka which is sort of a satire about the British royal family which is very amusing but I set it aside immediately when Diana Gabaldon's latest book, A Breath of Snow & Ashes came out this week. I'm about 150 pages into it--I'm trying to take it slowly because I love her books so much and I want to make it last.

I am always reading. I have to have one book ready to go for the second I finish the book I'm currently reading! And, thanks to my book club, I always have something to read!

I just started Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. It's set in Nazi Germany during WWII. I am only in the first chapters but am enjoying it immensely. Click onto the book title for a link to the book on Barnes & Noble and read more about it, if you're interested.

Upcoming books for my book club are: The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood and Forever by Pete Hamill.

I think I need to get this one!!
I just finished a Rita Mae Brown 'Sister Jane' novel..."Hunt Ball". Loved "The Red Tent". I'm going to start the 5th installment in the 'Sword of Truth' series.

I'm reading The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls-very disturbing portrait of her childhood. I'm about 100 pages into it.

I am reading In the Breath of Fire and Ashes which is the 6th book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. It was released last week. I am only about 50 pages into the book.

What??? I didn't know that!!! *runs to amazon.com*

Now that I'm over my shock of the new Gabaldon book...

I'm reading a bunch of books right now. I have four classes and I'm reading between 2-4 textbooks per class. I literally can't keep up with the reading, so I've been skimming it all. For my children's lit class, I read between 4-8 kids books each week -- some are picture books and some are chapter books.

For pleasure, I'm re-reading the young adult book, Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke, and I just bought the sequel Inkspell which I'll start on as soon as I'm done. They are simply wonderful books -- top notch reading and just as enjoyable for adults as they are for kids.

I just finished Geisha, A Life by Mineko Iwasaki and I highly recommend it, especially if you've read Memoirs of a Geisha. (Memoirs is fiction, Geisha is an autobiography)

Jemima J: a book about ugly ducklings and swans
It is a fluffy british book about a heavy girl who poses as thin on the internet and then desides to loose weight
Easy read

The Red Tent (by Anita Diamant) was fabulous, wasn't it? It made me wish for others by her, because it really brought the women of the Bible to life.

The Glass Castle was also a wonderful read - boy, wasn't that a grim picture of childhood? Sometimes when I see the various good mother/bad mother threads on these boards, I think of that family - it really changes your view of what "bad parents" can be.

Right now I'm trying to read The Historian - I'm about half way through, but I started it this summer and never got through it. I will, though!!! I'm a huge reader - I always have several books going at once, as well as things on the bedside table waiting to go. Aside from The Historian, I'm reading Sweetwater Creek by Anne Rivers Siddons (my "beach book" for carpool) and I just got the new John Berendt (remember Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?) at Barnes & Noble. I also ordered The Widow of the South, so that will go on the list as well. Oh, and I'm halfway through Gilead - another casualty fo the busy summer, but it's great, too.

So many books, so little time!!!!!

Be sure to get the new Gabaldon book, Marseeya. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. I had to reread the last one over the summer so I'd remember what was going on.

I loved Memoirs of a Geisha--thanks for the heads up on the autobiography. I'll put in a library request after I catch up with the stuff I've got going now!
