Starting on The Secret Life of Bees.

I totally agree Patronus. PofA is where she really sucks you in. Just force yourself through CoS, the books improve tremendously after that point.

I've heard the Kite Runner is really good. I still haven't picked up my David Mamet book from Barnes and Nobles.
By any chance, has any read Three Uses of a Knife?

Finished Never Let Me Go. I spent the rest of break reading a Photoshop book because I'm a geek.
Now I'm back to school, so my poison is Charles Stewart III's Analyzing Congress. Argh math HELP.

Posted: 3/13/06 at 4:36pmI'm about halfway through A Million little Pieces now. Yes, it took me ages to read it, and I started it AFTER the brouhaha (and it went on sale for 30% off). Great book.

I read another Dorothy L. Sayers novel, Unnatural Death. Good, entertaining mystery, if a bit dated and politically incorrect in a couple of ways.
I picked up Pynchon's Mason & Dixon again. I've read it before, a couple of times. I don't know how long I'll stick with it this time. My literary attention span has dwindled a bit lately.

I hope you enjoy it Zepka.
I'm reading Without You, by Anthony Rapp. I'm somewhere in the 200 range, and liking it. I'll probably finish it tomorrow.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 3:35pmI am finally reading Ken Mandlebaum's Not Since Carrie. This is a book I have been wanting to read for years and I found it at my public library the other day.

It was written by the man who conducted our Jack the Ripper walking tour when I was in London. An absolutely brilliant speaker and quite a good author as well. He's considered the leading authority on the Ripper and even helped Johnny Depp with his research for From Hell. He's also an extremely nice man

Posted: 3/21/06 at 4:03pmI have always wanted to take Rumbelow's tour! Whenever I finally get back to London I am definitely taking it. I have read his Ripper book and it is very fascinating! Enjoy reading it!

Posted: 3/21/06 at 4:07pmI'm over half way through and am loving it. You should DEFINITELY take the tour--I nearly froze to death but it was worth every minute. He is completely knowledgable and knows how to hold an audience.

Posted: 3/21/06 at 4:35pmSaying he helped on From Hell isn't exactly a selling point. :P But I'm sure he's great, aside from that.
