Rereading all of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Then will come the new David Sedaris book. Then maybe that one Stephen King book
I never finished. Then "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

oh and just finished Dreams of my Father by some guy called Barack Obama - good writer, it really showed that this guy has a rich, diverse background and nuanced thoughts.

"Good Grief", this is a pretty good book! It is by Lolly Winston.

I would love to say I am reading something of major significance and worthy of my mind but....
I read mostly juvenile fiction, in preparation for writing juvenile fiction. Sad, I know. Picks up her copy of "Kristina, The Girl King" and gets back to it. |

Finished book 8 of Chung Kuo.
I ended up having to get a British version. What the fuck? Do you really think the author truly wanted all "ass" turned to "arse" and "balls" to "bollocks"? What if there were a poem? |

Reading The Well of Loneliness. Late 19th/early 20th century lesbian fiction. Good times.

Just finished reading Atonement by Ian McEwan (needed something short for on the airplane). It was really very good and I will probably read other books by
Ian McEwan in the future.
I am almost finished reading Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. It is OK, but gets bogged down in the middle. I read The Name of the Rose by Eco a few years back and really liked it, but FP, not so much. Has anyone else read any of Eco's other books? If so, what did you think? I am also reading a biography on Robert Frost, along with his poems, and am really enjoying both. Previous books that I have finished: Life of Pi by Yann Martel - this was a really good book - I highly recommend it. Patty Jane's House of Curl by Lorna Landvik - this was another short book that I read on an airplane - it really sucked - it should be titled Patty Jane's House of Hurl The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - this book was written by an atheist and is a rebuttal of religious belief - I enjoyed it and thought it was interesting and at times pretty humorous |

OMG I LOVE Foucault's Pendulum, and Name of the Rose, and well, I just love Umberto Eco! Most recent of his that I read was "The Mysterious Flame of
Queen Laona" - which was, in a word, FANFUCKINGTASTIC. I see on the Amazon he has another out now called "On Ugliness".
Good to know about Atonement, I keep seeing it around but haven't picked it up yet. |

I also love Foucault's Pendulum more than the Name of the Rose. I recently read Baudolino, and it was fantastic. Strangely un-Eco-esque because the
narrator is an uneducated, 9th century son of a pig farmer. So the language is extremely easy compared to his other work, and it reads more like a fairy tale.
*goes off to get that Queen Laona book*

Thanks for the Eco info clever trou and Goosehead.
I will put another Eco book in my "to read" list behind the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, a book of short stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sammy's Hill by Kristin Gore, a David Sedaris book, Persuasion by Jane Austen, and a biography on Johannes Brahms. |

The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver. I've actually read every one of his other Lincoln Rhyme books except for this one. Probably because I saw the movie
first? Anyway I recommend any in that series. Just re-read The Red Tent. I really love that book. Oh I have a great book! Pillars of the Earth by Ken
Follett. I've probably read it 4 times.

I can't wait for the new John Grisham novel. His books are always fun to read.
