wow Colleen. I'm impressed you got through Les Mis, unabridged. I started it once, but only got like 40 pages into it before stopping.

In terms of what I'm currently reading - just finished Farming of Bones, and now I'm starting Changes: A Love Story - they are both for school.

edit note: how are you guys underlining? I tried html tags but they didn't work.

I'm now rereading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. After reading Fluke I'm convinced that Moore is in fact a genius.

"wow Colleen. I'm impressed you got through Les Mis, unabridged. I started it once, but only got like 40 pages into it before stopping."

It was a long process. Many breaks had to be taken for sanity sake.

"edit note: how are you guys underlining? I tried html tags but they didn't work."

I'm using html the <.u><./u> tags (without the periods of course).

"Free Play: Improvization in Life and Art" by Stephen Nachmanovitch. Its for my theatre class, and so far, I'm not loving it.
Whatever happened to class?

I LOVE that book. Everytime I re-read it I sit there snickering to myself like a freak. Jew-Do!

And re: Rebecca and books with sentimental value- One of my favorite books ever (and probably the only possession I really care about) is a 1944 copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn that was my grandmother's. She signed it with her maiden name, and then when she gave it to my mom, she re-signed it with her married name. My mom signed it, and then when I was 11 she gave it to me and re-signed it with *her* married name. I signed it that day, and alas, with no one to give it to have not re-signed it yet. But the special old book smell... the yellowed pages... I love it and had to buy a reading copy (1949) so the original didn't disintegrate. Books!

Currently reading: Martha Beck's Leaving the Saints and re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I just bought NNNNN by Carl Reiner... haven't read any of it yet, but I can't wait.

The front flap makes it sound hilarious.

Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey into Bhutan by Jamie Zeppa, is FANTASTIC.

I highly recommend it. It will definitely make you want to travel, convert to Buddhism (if you're not already Buddhist, that is), and marry a charming Bhutanese student.

Other highly recommended reads:
Waiting for Godot - Beckett
The Beach - Alex Garland

I finished the Kay Francis Biography. Loved it, but really woman....9 abortions???? They had birth control in the 1930's, and she was an intelligent woman. She was just being lazy at that point. I was getting disgusted.

I just found a first edition copy of Elmer Gantry, and I am on to reading that now.

13 Ways of Looking at the Novel by Jane Smiley. Part of it chronicles her reading of 100 novels, so I'm planning on using it as a list of reccomendations as well.

Finished NNNNN and it's a good, lighthearted read.

If Barnes and Noble ever get Three Uses of a Knife (Mamet) in, I'll start reading that next. I ordered it like two weeks ago, but they didn't get it in, so I had to reorder it.

Does anyone else watch Jeopardy as much as I do? I watched it on Saturday, and the final question was about Little Women, with the answer being Louisa May Alcott. None of the contestants got it right.

And I think on Friday it was another American Literature question, about The Jungle, and none of them got it right either.

The funny thing is, I haven't read either book, but I got them right.

I'm currently reading The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L. Sayers.

I read the first Harry Potter book, and enjoyed it. I started to read the second one, and felt my hand itching for the FF button. They're the kind of books that I'd like to have read, but can't find myself actually spending the time turning the pages. My attention starts to wander, and I start thinking about other things I could be reading.

Hang in there, Roscoe. I had a tough time getting through HP:CoS as well, but the series really hits it's stride in Book 3 and doesn't disappoint from there.

It's gets darker and subsequently more adult in the third book as well.
