What are you reading?

[SillyMe]

I just finished two books:

"Running with Scissors" - didn't really care for this one.
"Who Killed My Daughter" by Lois Duncan - very tragic story.

Now I just bought "102 Minutes" today at the book store. I want to start reading it, but I just can't seem to get off the DIS.

I started keeping a list of books I'd like to get (recommendations from the other "What are you reading" threads). I love Non-Fiction stories.

A few things really. I am reading the Naria books to the girls, I just finished two new romances tonight (Sins of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon and It's in his Kiss by Julia Quinn), and I just bought some more of my favorite naughty ebooks to read tonight .

I just finished two books:

"Running with Scissors" - didn't really care for this one.

I read "Running With Scissors" quite awhile ago and thought it was pretty funny, and tragic at the same time. It was also a bit disconcerting knowing that it was based on real people. I enjoyed it though.

Just finished two books:

EARLY BIRD by Rodney Rothman It's about a 28 year old television writer, (used to write for David Letterman), who decides to go live in a retirement community in Florida to see what it's like. He writes in a humorous way, about how he joined them in their daily routines, (getting up early, eating out at 'early bird specials', joining their clubs and activities), and about trying to figure out if the elderly really have all the "answers" to life.

FREAKONOMICS by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner It's certainly a book that gets you thinking differently about trivial and not-so-trivial things in life, sort of a new way of looking at why things are the way they are. They explore questions like- Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? How do schoolteachers cheat? Are contestants on the Weakest Link show racists? Does the name you give your child really matter? Quirky but interesting book!

I am reading "Parents Who Think Too Much" by Anne Cassidy - which is very good.

Does Magic Treehouse: Mummies in the Morning count? DS-5 is reading all of the Magic Treehouse books to me. So far, we're on book #3 and there are 30+ books.

I wish I had time to read something that I'd enjoy.

Hi,

I'm a science fiction and fantasy buff. I just finished *Three Hearts and Three Lions* by Poul Anderson, which was originally published in 1953. It's about a Danish soldier in 1945 who in combat disappears to a parallel, magical Earth in the time of King Arthur, distinguishes himself there and falls in love with a "swan-maiden" who can shapeshift between an 18-year-old girl and a swan.

Now reading *The End of Eternity* by Isaac Asimov, originally published in 1955. Andrew Harlan, an Eternal Technician who can time-travel over centuries, finds himself torn between his life's work and the woman from the 482nd century whom he loves. Good stories both.

I dug up an old chestnut the other day: Erma Bombeck's If You Look Like Your Passport Photo...

I love her writing and it's nice to have a laugh before bed.

I started keeping a list of books I'd like to get (recommendations from the other "What are you reading" threads). I love Non-Fiction stories.

I am also reading 102 Minutes - it's a book about various accounts of people who were in the Twin Towers during the tragedy of Sept 11. I been reading it, so hard to fathom what those people went through! Many in the book do not escape. No one thought the buildings would collaspe. Heart-breaking yet fascinating. I live near the metro NY area, and all the towns around here lost people in the towers, so it strikes home quite a bit.

I also need to stop DISing so I can continue reading!

I am re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I was only going to re-read Order of the Phoenix before Book 6 comes out, but then I finished it early.

"Blood Done Sign My Name" by Timothy B. Tyson. It is a true story that took place in a town about 40 miles north of Raleigh. I think the following review is good, "If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I am about halfway through, and I must say that it has given me such a new perspective on race relations.

I've been checking out books daily from the library.

I just read one mystery called Company Man. It actually wasn't too bad. Some mystery writers are pretty forumulaic so this one wasn't too bad.

I'm reading another one right now about a CSI type forensic dentist. So far, its pretty far fetched.

We've listened to on audio CD: Because of Winn Dixie, The Get Rick Quick Club, Magic Tree House 25-28 and some of Maniac Magee.

I saw 102 minutes at the library. I might check it out next time I am there.
