Wendy- My Mom read The Weight Of Water and said it was really good, so I might just have to check it out this summer!
i just finished a book writing for tweens called TOTALLY JOE.
it's about a kid who is coming out.
it's HILARIOUS and touching.
by JAMES HOWE! a terrific and prolific writer. did you also read THE MISFITS?
have you read BOY MEETS BOY by david levithan? one of my absolute favorite books so well written!
Redeeming Love by (the AMAZING) Francine Rivers
(It's Christian historical fiction if anyone's interested. She has an amazing trilogy called The Mark of the Lion that will blow you away.)
Just bought Thank You For Smoking yesterday. I've heard it is a LOT funnier than the movie... and it better be!

THE ZAHIR by Paolo Coelho.
Not crazy about it so far- definitely not THE ALCHEMIST.
Just finished up David Sedaris' NAKED last night and in honor of the recent South Pacific concert, Michener's TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC is up next on my bedside table.

Take It Like A Man- The Autobiography of Boy George.
Actually, I haven't started it yet, it just came in the mail .
I am going to try to start reading The Witching Hour by Anne Rice if I don't get a Kurt Vonnegut book today.
Just finished last night "Where the Lilies Bloom" A great read from my childhood and a ritual read at every Spring.
I just finished reading the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Both really good reads.
I read Angels & Demons in one sitting...Gah, I was riveted.
"The Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters". So far, so good.
And before that was "The Secret Life Of Bees" which if you haven't read, you must. It was an amazing read.
I'm in the middle of On Beauty by Zadie Smith, and i am quite enjoying it. Mostly because I like her writing stayle and I can relate WAY too much to the dysfunctional academic family, with a father who is a humanities professor. Ugh.

I'm currently reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by Sedaris. I read "Naked" a while back, which was hilarious, so I'm expecting this one to follow suit.
Also, I just finished Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" (author of "Everything Is Illuminated") which was amazing. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

NOT SINCE CARRIE by Ken Mandelboum. I'm enjoying it very much but it;s already out-of-date. It needs a chapter on IN MY LIFE and LESTAT.
