Dance to the Piper, by Agnes DeMille.
Great insight to her devotion to the Ballet. I think it was written in the 1950's.

I have to start "The Poisonwood Bible" for school. It sounds interesting.
Anyone else read it? What did you think? Motivate me to actually get started!

Sponsor me as I walk the Philadelphia AIDS Walk - Sunday, October 16, 2011. Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars , these programs are often under-funded. Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Posted: 8/17/05 at 5:06pmPoisonwood Bible is a fantastic book. It's ultimately very moving and I read it a fair while ago but can still remember the last line. It's stunning.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 8/17/05 at 5:56pmSon of a Witch isn't as good as Wicked, but Gregory Maguire is quite a good story-teller. He is able to create a completely new world and pulls you right in. There are a few references to Wizard of Oz, but not many -- it's all about Liir.

I'm reading a book about the number 0. (Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea) Really. In fact, it shows how you can use the number 0 to prove Winston Churchill is a carrot.

#165Assassination Vacation
Posted: 8/18/05 at 12:10amI am reading Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell...SO far it's very good...Her writing style is like she's talking to you instead of writing for you. it makes it so much easier to read and more fun to read...

To show my gratitude, I'll offer you this pointy black hat, which is just like the one Original Wicked Witch Margaret Hamilton wore in the movie!
IDINA MENZEL
What a great idea! How about throughout the play, you continue to offer me things like a black cloak, or a black
cape, or a broom to make me look more and more like Margaret Hamilton did! These attempts at humor will be painfully
predictable from a mile away!
AUDIENCE collectively groans.

stylinbohemian- You can't go wrong with Wuthering Heights, anything by Jane Austen, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. All are fabulous and all are sure to impress an English teacher.
I just finished Wicked and have moved on to Stone Cold Dead Serious and Other Plays by Adam Rapp. That man and his brother are so frickin talented I can't hardly stand it.

Moved on from Lies My Teacher Told Me just in time for my vacation. I'm almost done with The Time Traveler's Wife, not sure what's next.
Cheno, I was just in LA visiting my sister and while playing Loaded Questions I found out that most of my friends read fewer than 10 book in the last year. My ballpark guess was 75, my sister was 50, and none of the others cracked double digits.
