I just finished The Nanny Diaries. It was cute and kind of sad, but nothing spectacular. Right now I am reading way too many text books. College sucks sometimes.

I've read The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien twice and just bought three more books by Oscar Hijuelos.

I'm reading "The Honk and Holler Opening Soon", and "The Red Tent." I read a story similar to "The Red Tent", it was called "Sarah", Sarah was better.

The Honk and Holler is great. Billie Lets is the writer she wrote "Where the Heart is".

And I am always re-reading "The Princess Bride" which is the greatest book ever written.

I finished The Time Traveler's Wife and am not sure what I thought of it. If anyone's read it I'd love to know what you thought.

I took a quick detour to reread Half Blood Prince and have now moved on to Under the Banner of Heaven, a very interesting true crime book about Mormons, which is something I don't know very much about.

Chuck P.'s "Haunted".

Not his best work, although some of the short stories are great. The main problem is that none of the characters are properly defined. None of them are different from one another, they all have the exact same quirks and, frankly, they're hard to keep track of. But Palahniuk's worst is still better than a lot of the tripe out there.

I'm still working on The Amber Spyglass, by Phillip Pullman. It's great so far, and I want it to last!

Oh, I loved His Dark Materials. Loved loved loved. Even with the slightly weird kid-love.

I am in love with Time Traveller's wife. For some reason I found the love so real and deep. When I read the book I listened to the entire Frou Frou cd, it fit perfectly.

HANS BRINKER. I'm not joking. I'd read the book when I was a kid and after spending a week in Holland earlier this month, I decided to read it again because I kept thinking of the story about the boy who put his finger in the dike and saved his town from flooding.

Looking at the second hand on my watch to see how long it takes someone to pervert that last statement.

I know DP, but the bait was there and no one took it. I'm proud of the maturity of the boards tonight.

In the last 2 weeks, I've read and finished:

The Historian
Pledged: The Secret Side of Sororities
and
Adored

They were all good, but I couldn't put The Historian down, and I read Adored in a day b/c it was addictive.

I've read a bunch of shark books. And a book on Alexander the Great.

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

THE GEOMETRY OF LOVE by Margaret Visser about the meaning and symbology of architecture and design of churches. It uses a church outside of Rome as its main focus. It is, of course, in preparation for my trip to Italy.

If anyone has an interest, I highly recommend RELUCTANT SAINT by Donald Spoto about Francis of Assisi. It is a compelling look at a very human Francis.

(For the record, this is my favorite thread.)

I'm currently reading, Jerome Robbins : His Life, His Theater, His Dance, by Deborah Jowitt. It's quite fascinating. I also just can't imagine having a circle of friends like Bernstien, Sondheim, Balanchine, and Comden and Green!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey - very good book, but hard to get into.

Just wait until Ratched and McMurphy really start to go at it. :) I have fond memories of that book. It was part of my freshman English class in high school, and as a fun activity our teacher asked us to draw our classroom as Chief Broom might see it. Though we all worked independently, there ended up being a remarkable number of malevolent iMacs with teeth and claws flying around the pictures. Coincidence? I think not.

In the middle of reading The Corrections. I have VERY mixed feelings about it.

Plum,
I love it so far. And that seems to be a very interesting assignment. I'm sure I'll figure out what the fog is all about, but for now it's slightly puzzling.

just finished half blood prince for the third time, and i'm reading Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier, which is incredibly boring so far

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous
