Oh Stephanie Plum books are laugh out loud funny books! I dare you to read one and NOT laugh out loud. My favorite moment was from One for the Money when Gramma Mazur shot the chicken off the dinner table.

Next was pretty good. I was so sad when Michael Crichton passed... Congo, Both Jurassic Park books and Sphere are still some of my favs.

That's the only Stephen King book I ever put down and didn't want to pick up again. I'll pick it up again sometime, but it started out so violently and just put me off.

I think Gerald's Game was like that for me! The book does get better after the first 50 pages or so, but it has a little melancholy ending that leaves you wondering if he's set himself up for a new series like the Dark Tower series... Then again, with That one done, I'm not finding any of his newer work (since the car accident?) with direct tie in's like with that series. That's one of the things I liked about King's books, no matter how gruesome they are!

Went to the library an got:
Chicken Health Handbook (again)
Storeys Guide to raising chickens (again)
Choosing and keeping chickens by Chris Graham (again, but its my favorite book about chickens---good info, lots of color pics..I'd buy it!)
Cesar's Way by Cesar Millan (not got to it yet)

I just finished yesterday:
Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver--a book about a woman that adopts an abandoned (handed to her by a beaten woman!) Cherokee girl, and gets on Oprah by saving a man's life, and is seen on TV by a Cherokee Nation female Lawyer. The lawyer says that the adoption is illegal, as the Cherokee tribe has to consent adoptions by Whites. The Cherokee Lawyer contacts the loving and protective mother, who goes on the lamb, leaving her rocker/sweet boyfriend, and struggles to make ends meet in another state to protect her daughter from being torn away from the only mother she has ever known. HER mother (the little girls Granny) leaves her placid, silent husband, and joins them. They pick up a down on her luck girl named Barbie, in Vegas, that aspires to be a real life Barbie, lol. Ends up Granny has an long lost cousin, that is married into the Cherokee and goes down there to plead their case...Good book. Neat characters, and the descriptions of things are so illustrative! Well written! You get to learn alot about the modern day Indians (poor people on diminished lands, trying to keep preserve what culture they have and very close nit families)...

Now in between all that Im reading:
Slavery By Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon..The re-enslavement of black Americans from the Civil war to World War II...talked about it in class, and I got it. Talks about how the slaves were freed in the Cival War, but not really why we all think---- but with no material or monetary possessions, and how most states found a way around the 14th Amendment to re-enslave them, keep them poor, and to terrorize them with things like the KKK and arrests for no reason...just to make them "prisoners" and work 20 hours a day in a Mine until these poor people died of exhaustion or illness or murder. Very interesting, lots of things I didnt really know about and its made be feel slightly ashamed to be white, and also very proud that Im from a generation that is very much less prejudiced.

Sorry, lol, I read things all the time, out of order! Depends on my mood you know..
