I'll be finishing HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE in the next day or so. Then I'll move on to something to fill the time until Pynchon's INHERENT VICE comes out next week.

Jack of Fables, by Bill Willingham, a spinoff from his excellent Fables series. I'm not enjoying the Jack stories nearly as much as I do Fables, but maybe it'll get better as it goes along.

Just started the first Sookie Stackhouse book .... not the world's greatest writing sylist, but readable enough.

Just finished Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Didn't like it as much as I like his short fiction/novellas.

Started The Time Traveler's Wife last night and I am loving it. I cannot put it down.

sally - Time Traveler's Wife is, I think, my third favorite book of all time. I have read it 4 times now and am going to read it again before the movie comes out. LOVE IT!

The Unlikely Disciple - Kevin Roose - his memoir of spending a semester at Falwell's Liberty University - fascinating - went to a conservative Baptist college and this rings true

Godless - Dan Barker - miles away from my conservative college education

Starting HP and the Deathly Hallows

It took me a few tries to get into the Time Traveler's Wife, but once I did, I loved it.

I just started The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman. It's a bit strange.

Just finished "The Road to Woodstock" by Michael Lang. It's a fascinating look at rock music before it became such a huge corporate sponsored enterprise, though it marked the beginning of corporate rock era. The logistics of the event were incredible. Lang, the primary organizer of the event, follows the story from its inception to its aftermath.

Anyone interesting in seeing how the massive festival was organized on the fly should be interested in this.

Erm, so I just read The Time Traveler's Wife in under 24 hours. I have one more weekend to kill and am now out of books so off to the bookstore I go. Any suggestions?

How did you like it, Colleen?

Have you read, The Book of Lost Things? I thought that was a great book

[Plum]

Just finished the "War and Pieces" trade of Fables. Wow. Just...wow. It's pretty much what the comic has been leading up to since it started, and I really have to wonder where it's going to go from here.

Also just finished Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, so next in my pile is apparently...The Lost Continent, by Bill Bryson. Am also going to continue my very slow progress through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in French. (A wand is une baguette magique!)

Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire - Rafe Esquith

ETA: Sorry DJ, I was on my Blackberry when I posted this, so I missed your questions. I did enjoy The Time Traveler's Wife very much but was a bit unprepared for the way it picked at the scabs of old wounds.

That was a fast read. Now onto "Olive Kitteridge" - Elizabeth Strout

[Plum]

Posted: 8/1/09 at 10:27pm

I'm not really enjoying The Lost Continent as much as I did Notes From a Small Island. I'm thinking about switching to The Confusion, since I'm determined to finish the Baroque Cycle (has anything ever been more appropriately named?) someday. Oh, Neal Stephenson. Don't ever change.

I just started Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding (who wrote Bridget Jones Diary). It's pretty cute so far.
