I needed a break from my ordinary reading load for classes and opened up this book last night and read a bit... I really like what I've read so far but will probably not get to devote too much attention to the story - So, I'll save my review for later when I can finish it.

re: Larsson book you were reading?

Over a year ago, I began to read the "Dragon Tattoo" and it took me a bit to get into his style of storytelling - much of that story triggered me in ways I didn't expect - but I did enjoy all three of his works in that series.

cool beans !

2 books
 

i'm listening to 2 books right now. One is the sequel to Three Cups of Tea and is called Stones Into Schools. This continues the story of Greg Mortensen's efforts to build schools for boys and girls in remote villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Highly recommended! The second is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and tells the story of the woman from whose cancer came all the cells used today in devoping medicine, doing research into cancer and other diseases. They are called HELA cells. Another librarian recommended it. Unexpectedly fascinating!

Library of Congress Book Program
 

for those of you who are vision-impaired, like i am, the Library of Congress in every stste has a program whereby you can get books on digital format (BARD) or on DB or cassette. free, as long as a librarian or dr. signs that you need it. go to your local library for more info, or PM me and i'll try to help. this program has literally saved my life. hades for a scholar not to be able to devote long hours to reading/study!

Work material.....
 

The science of crime scene investigations, "The Forensic Casebook" by N. E. Genge. Just some light reading before I go to bed! Just kidding! It is for work. I always like to see what other people are writing about the subject. :glasses:

John F. Mariani’s “How Italian Food Conquered the World”

... is on my list...

Hocus Pocus by Vonnegut
Inner Circle by Meltzer
Plus anything else I can get my hands on by Kerouac

I'm reading The Body by Stephen King (for a class, but I'm liking it so much I might read the other three novellas that come with it) plus a mystery by Elizabeth George called For the Sake of Elena. If you've ever watched any of the Inspector Lynley mysteries on TV (I think PBS mystery series) then you might like these, George wrote the Lynley books. She has a long list of them. I think I am on my fourth. We hit two second hand book sales last week and oh my, scored big. Lots of 25 cent paperbacks and hardbacks for 34 cents. Sorry, had to get some book bragging in there. I also scored some Val McDermid, Tami Hoag and PD James. I'm in mystery hog heaven right now. I probably won't surface till the end of summer.
