Yep, I'm on a Gaiman kick right now. I was obsessed with myth and folklore as a kid, so how can I not totally love what he does with it? I'm going to his talk at the 92nd St. Y on Monday. Should be good. :)

I'm going to start Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Memoirs of my Melancholy Whores on the train today. It looks relatively short; I can probably have it finished by tomorrow.

I just finished Beach Music by Pat Conroy, which is my favorite book and one of the most beautifully written novels ever. Now I'm reading The Water is Wide also by Conroy and will probably move from there to The Great Santini and My Losing Season to make a clean sweep of it.

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

Ugh, I gave up on Son of a Witch, which I'd picked up for light reading over break. It was dreadful. I got so bored with it that I skimmed to the end (it's pretty difficult to bore me that much), read the end (most cliche thing ever) and decided that I was done with it. It was like all of the most boring parts of Wicked, which I liked overall, were extended into their own 250-page novel.

Jane2, I think CRY TO HEAVEN is an exquisitely written book and, by far, Anne Rice's best.

Glad to hear it, because this is actually my first Rice book. Also, after seeing the film FARINELLI, my interest in this subject was born. thanks!

MEF - I just bought Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Memoirs of my Melancholy Whores - how was it?

I also picked up Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. So much reading to do, so little time.

Right now I am reading Jon Stewarts "America, the book" (hysterical) and re-reading "The Making of Big, the Musical". The latter book is a great read; you'll end up having a lot more respect for these directors and choreographers after reading about what these folks went through to get BIG on it's feet...only to watch it slowly fail.

I am currently halfway through:
SON OF A WITCH (I loved WICKED, but am having a hard time getting through WITCH)

THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE (seen the Narnia movie, haven't read the book since I was a kid)
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA (seen the movie, haven't read the book yet)
JARHEAD (not seeing the movie until I finish the book)

Plath's THE BELL JAR (I am on a re-reading books that I 'had to' read in school, except this time for fun, kick. Yeah, I know, Plath is not really 'for fun.')

Douglas Coupland's ALL FAMILIES ARE PSYCHOTIC

...I like to be reading more than one book at once. :)

And then speaking of reading: I saw three different people on the subway today reading Capote's IN COLD BLOOD. I was starting to think that Oprah had said to read it or something, before I remembered it was probably due to Capote the film. :)

You will love ordinary people. It is a great story. I'm reading a million little pieces regarless to what Oprah says that book has changed my life. It is fascinating and a great story.
