The Once and Future King - T.H. White
A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin
Silver Shoes - Paul Miles Schneider
Star Trek: The Academy-Collision Course - William Shatner
The Book of Lies - Brad Meltzer

and a few more. YIKES!

I just started yesterday, Not Since Carrie, 40 years of Broadway Musical Flops.
I love it! I can't believe that I didn't read this years ago.

I was sadly disappointed in Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies. I was so excited that I went out and bought it new, which I never do. I am thrift stores and Amazon used all the way, baby!

Just finished The Yiddish Policeman's Union, by Michael Chabon, and Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy. All of them were just wonderful. Now I'm back to Chabon with The Final Solution, which is short enough for me to finish tonight.

Next up is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, by John Le Carre. And then another library run!

It's basically a biography of Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, the creators of the public charter school network called the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP).

I've been travelling a lot lately. When you spend 6 hours in one day on a train, trolley, or bus, you get lots of chances to read. (That was not a good day, though. Urgh.)

Aw, I'm sorry about the not good day. I don't care if I was taking a 20 hour car ride, I would not be able to finish as many books as you do *jealous*

OK, I wanted to start a thread, and couldn't see a way to under the current configuration. Are we just supposed to 'give up and go home'?

Olive Kitteridge. Cannot put it down.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I just (as in ten minutes ago) finished Olive Kitteridge and am still digesting it. I'll be interested in what others thought. There are so many little insights that ring true about one's relationship to others in their world.

Working on:

The Satanic Verses- Salman Rushdie
The Lighting Thief- Rick Riordan
One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Iflit, I loved Olive Kittredge. We just read it for our book club which is meeting this week - I think it will spark a good discussion! You should read Amy & Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout too. Very good.

HP5. Making my way through the whole series again so there's no temptation to bring the books back to school with me. Then I'll try to make it up by reading Roth's American Pastoral.

For some reason Judy Garland's life fascinates me haha I am on my third biography in 2 months:
Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows - Lorna Luft

I just read
Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland - Gerald Clarke
and before that:
Judy Garland: The Secret Life of an American Legend - David Shipman

Very interesting stuff in there, i know that i have to take everything in there with a grain of salt but still there has got to be some truth in it right? haha
But if you have any interest in Judy Garland I definitely recommend reading one of the biographies on her!

Spring Awakening 7.3.07!!, Wicked/ Rent 7.5.07!!, Legally Blonde 7.6.07!! The Color Purple 7.7.07!!, Gypsy 8.19.08!!, In the Heights/Wicked 8.20.08!!, The Little Mermaid 8.21.08!! Legally Blonde Tour 11.9.08!! Shrek 7.7.09!!, Blithe Spririt 7.8.09!!, 9 to 5 7.9.09!!, Next to Normal 7.10.09!!
