House of Meetings by Martin Amis. Brilliant book, and a real return to form for Amis.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Donna McKechnie's Time Steps.

It's quite good. I highly suggest it.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Cousin Bette, by Balzac

---

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Really? I've enjoyed all of Maguire's books; they leave a nice melancholy aftertaste I was actually thrilled when I found out his wonderfully multifaceted Elphaba was coming to B'way. Of course, I had no idea the musical would leave only the setting and the character's names intact.

Right now: re-reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

Yeah, Colleen_Lee, Lost was not my favorite Maguire book either. Wicked and Son of a Witch hold that distinction. At the moment, I'm reading The Most Exclusive Club for AP government. It's a really boring book about the Senate over the past 100 or so years...yawn. When I have a spare moment, I'm trying to read March by Geraldine Brooks, but I haven't really had time to get into it yet.

I finished reading "Star Girl" by Jerry Spinelli the other day. I had read it a few years ago but had forgotten most of it. It's a fun read.

Ooh, Life of Pi is one of my all-time faves. If you like it, be sure to check out Martel's collection of 4 short stories called The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios.
