I just read "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You" by Peter Cameron. It's sort of a like a modern day Catcher in the Rye. Good read for a sunny weekend afternoon.

Right now I'm working on Dark Torte by Diane Mott Davidison. All of her books are easy on the brain, but very entertaining.

On deck:
The Nine
Post Birthday World
Loving Frank

stage, I enjoyed Broadway Nights most especially for the real-life tidbits about different shows that he dropped in here and there.

I just finished A THousand Splendid Suns, which I enjoyed more than The Kite Runner. Now, I'm reading The Broker by John Grisham and have to say so far, it's one of his worst. Up next is Stephen King's Duma Key.

That sounds wonderful, california. I'll have to check it out sometime.

I'm currently reading "By Myself", Lauren Bacall's autobiography. It's absolutely marvelous, but that's no surprise. I'm also reading Les Mis for class.

Acting Without Agony: An Alternative to the Method by Don Richardson. The funny thing is I found this book randomly at a little used-book store by my house, paid $8 for it, no idea that it's actually a pretty sought-after book.

I've been tearing through books recently, having in the last week and a half reread Cormac McCarthy's The Road (which I found just as gorgeously heartbreaking the second time), Mansfield Park (the last of Austen's novels I hadn't read), and Brave New World. I'm not sure what's up next.

Just finished The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller. A different and strangely poignant ending that I wasn't expecting at all.

Has anyone ever brought up the idea of trying to have some kind of BWW Book Club? I just thought I'd throw the idea out there to see what people think.

I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.

I'm still working on The Sign and the Seal.

Californiasnow, the idea has been tossed around a couple of times, but, other than a short lived Harry Potter discussion thread, nothing has ever come of it.

I'm working my way through the sappiest, cheesiest "teen" books by author David Levithan. I don't usually go for that kinda stuff, but his stories are just too cute!
