Well, at the moment, I'm reading some online erotica - and that was it.

Rue McClanahan's bio...
I’m going back through it for the second time. I’m having a great time with it because of the fact that a woman I dearly loved was Rue’s BEST friend throughout her life. I met Rue 22 years ago through Lette and when I worked with Rue this summer, it came up. Now Lette had told me that they were friends, but folks always say that. After reading Rue’s book, I now know that they were life long friends.
Reading the book brings Lette back for me. And that’s the best feeling, ever.

Posted: 8/2/07 at 11:15amI'm reading Bag of Bones by Stephen King for the second time. It's a really interesting haunted house/town story and has its roots in the old gothic novels. I really recommend it. But it's scary, so beware!
You promised me poems. ~Tricky

Hehehe DG !! I can understand it, but don't the Deathly Hallows spoil it up a bit ?? Actually, I still don't know what that word means, found many explanations and I understand it's something like relics, but still... really ?

THE TAO OF POOH, recommended by a dear friend.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

The Tao of Pooh is a favorite of mine, worthy of being read again and again. You also should read the Tao te Ching if you have not already, to get the full scope of just how wise Pooh Bear is.
I just started Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination by Neil Gabler yesterday.

Khaled is doing an AMAZING and super important thing by making his stories accessbile to Western audeinces. When you read this one you will know what I mean. George Bush spent 8 years demonizing Arabs and Muslims, this man's work brings the reality of war and Afghanistan right into your lap. Walk don’t run. This is the best book of the summer. I promise you.
I've been meaning to read A Thousand Splendid Suns but haven't gotten around to it. I think I'll pick it up tomorrow. I read The Kite Runner last summer and thought it was absolutely amazing. Hosseini came to my school last fall for a roundtable discussion-type event about his book. He was incredibly engaging, humble, and answered every question with thoughtfulness.
Right now I'm reading Pride and Prejudice . I've actually never read it before, but have seen the latest movie and the BBC miniseries. Seeing the previews for the new Anne Hathaway movie based on Austen's life made me decide it was about time I read this novel.
I'm also reading A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain. I finished Kitchen Confidential at the beginning of the summer and was thoroughly obsessed with it, so I decided to give Bourdain's other books a chance.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 3:20pmAbout to start reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy, because I'm interested to see if it lives up to the hype. I'll also probably reread The Whole World Over by Julia Glass soon. School starts at the end of the month, and I'm taking some very ambitious Lit courses this semester, so I want to get all of my recreational reading out of the way in the next few weeks.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Reading Jane Eyre for school, soon to be followed by Othello and Nectar in a Sieve.
After I finish my school readings, next on my list is Lamb, The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I think it will be hilarious.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 6:54pmI WAS reading The Amber Spyglass until someone returned it to the library while I was out of town. You'd think the bookmark sticking out of the middle would be a hint, but NOOOOO...

Italo Calvino's If On A Winter's Night A Traveller.
I LOVE THAT BOOK.
*cough* I'm calm. Really. But I may or may not have had a squeaky moment when Calvino was used as an actual plot point in Stranger Than Fiction.

Taz... I will forever be in your debt. I loved The Kite Runner. Once I started, I couldn't put it down.

I recently finished:
THE KITE RUNNER
THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN
THE NANNY DIARIES.
I loved the first 2, liked the 3rd.
I am currently reading THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES which, so far, is terrific.
