Just finished that Twilight series (I know, don't laugh-they are freakishly addictive!!!!), and looking for my next read. What is everyone reading?
I'm really into following all of the links on the page of this AMAZING Calendar expert... Important dates in history
The Last Oracle by James Rollins. Very government underground, secret spy stuff. I love those kind of books. Guy gets an artifact by mistake, chased around the globe......
Almost done with "The Egg and I" by Betty McDonald. About living on a chicken ranch in Pacific Northwest during the 40's. Funny in a deprecating sort of way.
I loathe the Twilight books, but my best friend loves them, so I'll let you know what she's reading in case y'all's taste is alike. She's reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke. I've never read it, so I have no opinions on it to offer. My best friend also likes books by Diana Wynne Jones, who is an author I have read, and I'll freely admit to loving her books. She's a wonderful author, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone. Me? I'm reading The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George and Lamb by Christopher Moore. I don't normally read two at a time, but my SO's been having trouble sleeping and it helps if I read aloud to him. I have fun trying to keep track of the different voices for the characters, but I never thought I'd be doing it for an adult!
Quote:Dawn I am sick too, and I absolutely love those books. They are takemeaway books. I just got done watching Rooster Cogburn. The BEST older western. Lonesome Dove has my heart.
