I'm reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (again), And the Band Played On (I fogot I had this book and never read it), and 50 Great Essays (essays by Francis Bacon, Abe Lincoln, M.L. King Jr., E.C. Stanton, Virgina Woolf, etc.).

I just started reading the Shack today, because so many people had recommended it to me. I usually am not much of a fiction person, but I am finding this really good. Has anyone else read it?

Painful at the beginning, but he is now in the shack, and discussing his emotions about his "Great Sadness" and it is wonderful. I had written it off as another one of those fad books, but I am pleasantly surprised.

I just read "No Matter What!" by List Nichols. Lisa Nichols is an African American Woman who grew up in a gang-infested neighborhood in LA. Her stories really help you to understand what it is like to be black in America. She is a very successful women, and a great writer. I found myself crying a couple of times. MUST READ.

I read "The Sound and the Fury" recently to remind myself how much I dislike Faulkner. Yes, Oxford is in my back yard, but I still do not like the man. I'll keep reading Faulkner just in case I get to debate some Faulknerite. I smell a new topic

I'm not part of a book club, but I do a fair amount of reading, most recently I read Naomi Kleins 'Shock Doctrine'.. disturbing is the word that comes to mind.

I have often thought about joining a book club, but never have. There is one in town, but it always seems that something comes up when they meet that I can't attend. Also, many of the books on their reading list do not appeal to me very much, and I hate being stuck reading a dull book. I hadn't thought of an online book club, but now that it's been brought to my attention, that seems a good option.

I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife right now. It's really good but it's taking me forever to get through as I have very little time for leisure reading
