Read more books

Ahhh, it’s been a long time. I have been reading though! I read the Troy trilogy by David Gemmell (A++). Now I’m reading The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir. Very captivating so far.

I just heard the news. I’m not sure how I feel about this, aside from the fact that if the movie is half as heart-wrenching as the book I will buy it and watch it every night.

Yay I finished it! I loved this book. It is such a strange, embarassing subject but the narrator tells it in such a light-hearted way that it was just fun.

I bought a new book for the first time in a long while! It was on sale and I’ve heard it’s wonderful. My current list:

Middlesex – almost done
Oryx and Crake – slow and steady
Love In The Time of Cholera – since I own it I’ll work on it after I’m done with the library books

I picked up Middlesex, which I didn’t finish the first time, and Oryx and Crake, suggested by kujassilverdragon. I tried to find a few other suggested ones such as The Inheritance of Loss and Letters to a Child Never Born but the library I went to didn’t have them.

Time to get back on the wagon. The question is, where to start? I’ll have to think on this awhile…

Taking a little break. I have no interest in reading while Z is home :)

Usually I don’t read multiple books by the same author unless they are a series but I took a chance on Lionel Shriver and she didn’t let me down. I might just have to continue with her… this book was wonderful!

A fun little book and an interesting way to learn about Taoism. Actually makes me want to watch some old Winnie the Pooh cartoons…

Okay I’m in over my head now. Here’s the current stack on my coffee table:

The Post Birthday World by Lionel Shriver
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
The Children of Men by P.D. James

Middlesex is my bedtime read, The Tao of Pooh my at work read and The Post Birthday World my couch read. Don Quixote I’m trudging through two paragraphs at a time and I haven’t even started The Things They Carried or The Children of Men. Must get busy!
