I've been away for a few days (a week or two?) while I relocated and there's so much vibrancy in this thread--thank you all!

Currently, I'm rereading bell hooks' Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black as motivation for this new semester of teaching. I really do enjoy most of her work...

Hugs to all of you fabulous readers!

I had the opportunity to listen to her read and speak when I was in uni (years ago!).

She gave me a lot to think about and was a fascinating speaker.

8 Traits Successful People Have in Common by Richard St. John

A book that was passed on to me and was told it was interesting. It's alright so far.

I'm reading Glamour.

(c'mon it's the September issue - it's huge!)

This looks like a good book. I'm putting on my list.

I just order a kindle but it doesnt ship until first part on Sept. Meanwhile been using Kindle for the PC which is ok just not the same as holding a 6 inch thin device. I love ebooks because for a long time I stopped reading as much because my eyes would get tired no matter what reading glasses I wore. With Kindle and most ebook readers you can increase the font really large.

I believe we are all connected somehow in this life and this book does a great job exploring that connectivity.

I finished Magical Thinking and am now starting A Wolf at the Table. Augusten Burroughs

Note: I don't know if anyone in the thread is signed up with swap.com but if you like to read and don't mind swapping out your books you might want to give it a try. Also, you can add your friends so if anyone does happen to be on swap.com ( use to be swaptree) look me up. I am leatherfaery on there as well. You can also trade books for dvds, cds and for games.

Thanks for the info on swap.com.

I am a total fan of Augusten Burroughs (have read all of his books). A Wolf at the Table was very disturbing (anything with animal abuse is hard for me to read) -- but a great memoir, very powerful and almost surreal.
