I was tired of surfin, tired of the tube so I got some bubblegum for my
brain because that's about all it can handle right now from too much work.

Stephen King, Under The Dome

its graphic, almost too graphic.

Just finished Arthur Laurents: A Memoir of Broadway and Hollywood

This made my inner gay boy happy!

A bit long. He could have used a more rigorous editor but the highlights include:
the inside stories of Gypsy, The Way We Were and West Side Story (3 of my favorites)
an account of what it was like to be a gay man working in Hollywood and Broadway in the 40s and 50s
an account of the Hollywood blacklist and the Red Scare from the perspective of someone who did not inform.

A Trace of Smoke by Rebecca Cantrell

A mystery for non-mystery lovers like me. The story takes place in 1931 Berlin and focuses on Hannah Vogel, a newspaper reporter who finds out that her gay brother has been murdered. As she sets out to find the culprit she is plunged into pre-Nazi Germany, including the infamous SA brown shirts.

A really good book especially for those who have an interest in late Weimar Germany and pre-Nazi era gay life.

American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson (autobiography)
- very funny and quite touching. Some good insights on alcoholism (I think).

My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D (non-fiction)
- a brain scientist writes about her stroke

Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden (fiction)
- describes the journey home of a Cree WWI veteran
