Ok tazzy... I'm starting The Kite Runner on your recommendation.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Very, very depressing. Well written but kind of wish I hadn't bothered.

DD - The Kite Runner is very good and well-written. I hope you enjoy it!
keen on kean - thanks for the heads up. I was going to read that one, but I was on the fence because it seems so depressing. Maybe I'll wait on that one.
Right now, I'm reading Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut. Strangely enough, I had never read this book before (how embarassing!)
Next in queue is either the new Harry Potter or The Talisman by Stephen King.

Currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Will read the final Harry Potter book this weekend and then start on the "His Dark Materials" trilogy.
I'm rereading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. I finished my Harry Potter reread last week so I'm sticking with summery fluff until I get the new book on Saturday.
"The Guy Not Taken" by Jennifer Weiner (she also wrote "Good in Bed" and "In Her Shoes". It's a collection of short stories...which means I can abandon it for a while and not get too lost while I read the new Harry Potter!
One hundred pages left to go in Middlesex, which I am finding fascinating, but I am eagerly awaiting that overnight shipment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Saturday!
"My First Five Husbands" - Rue McLanahan. Wild woman!
Just finished A Room Of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, halfway through Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Yay for long car trips with friends to drive for you!

I've been reading Lolita by Nabokov on and off for about the past five months. I just started Pinter's Homecoming
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and the complete works by Shakespeare. Currently in the second act of "Titus A".
Bleak House by Dickens. Almost through.
I just finished Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, which I was not to thrilled about. Mildy interesting, but in general I was a little disappointed.
Just One More Thing (Stories From My Life) by Peter Falk. Loved it. Vibrant stories from my favorite man in a raincoat
Next up - Cell, Stephen King.
(I've been reading pieces of Historic Diplomacy for a while - it's a very detailed analysis of the intricate dealings between Sadat, Begin, Kissinger, Carter and a few other interesting characters invloved in the events leading up to the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt)
Just finished "Anyplace I Hang My Hat" by Susan Isaac.
Currently reading "Girl Meets God" by Lauren Winner
I'm about 50 pages into "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. I have to read it for school, and I've found it quite interesting thus far.
I am also brushing up on my Harry Potters before reading the last one ! Currently rereading Order of the Phoenix ! Next week I am leaving for vacation, so there's gonna be me, a gorgeous Greek beach, a wonderful clear blue sea, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows !!!
