Re-reading "Little Women." It's one of my favorites :)

My friend is going to loan me "The Reader." Suuuuper stoked about that! I want to read it before I see the movie!

Just finished "The Golden Notebook" by Doris Lessing ( and frankly, don't see what the fuss was all about)
Am about a quarter into "You Can't Go Home Again" by Thomas Wolfe ( enjoying much more!)

I just finished American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld. AMAZING, and I think it would be a good bet for film treatment.

I'm probably going to start A Mercy by Toni Morrison tomorrow (and probably finish it, since it's only 160 pages). After that, I'm planning on reading Things I've Been Silent About, the memoir of Azar Nafisi, who wrote Reading Lolita in Tehran (which I would also recommend).

I'm almost done with The Little Giant of Aberdeen County. I thought I would jump on here and see if I can get some ideas what to read next. I'm actually considering reading The Host.

I'm almost done with Honeymoon by James Patterson and some other dude I can't remember his name. Pretty good thriller.

Just started reading I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Slone Crosely. It's pretty funny so far.

Making Money, by Terry Pratchett. Not as good as his stuff from a few years back, but still a decent read.

I also recently finished all 10 of the Dresden Files books in one go. Deep literature they are not, but they're tremendously fun urban fantasy with nice action sequences, a good narrative voice, and enough genuinely surprising and imaginative moments to keep things interesting. (The last book had a thing with a doughnut that left me goggling and giggling helplessly for about two minutes.) Jim Butcher's writing is getting better as the series moves along, and now I'm really looking forward to the next book coming out in a few months.

The Virgin Suicides, which is so much better than I thought it would be. I carry it with me everywhere and usually read a chapter or two as I eat Motzah Ball Soup at Edison Diner. But seriously - as much as I loved James Woods, Kathleen Turner, and (yes even) Josh Hartnett and Kirsten Dunst, the book is light-years ahead of that pedestrian (by comparison) film.

Have you read his other book "Middlesex"? It is one of my favorite books - if you haven't read it, you should definitely check it out!

Revolutionary Road. Exquisite writing, and though the film captures its essence, the book is a masterpiece.

I got the new Wally Lamb for Christmas, and haven't cracked it, surprisingly -- especially considering the speed with which I flew through SHE'S COME UNDONE and I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE.

[clever name]

Posted: 2/19/09 at 7:54pm

I loved both those books, but I Know This Much Is True..man..I lost it. I mean LOST.IT.. reading that book.

too close to home.
