Do you stuff books under your pillows?

I am re-reading The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. Pretty good so far. My library books are due in a few days and this is tiding me over till I can get up there. I love to escape into books too.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" J.K. Rowling
This is the first time I am rereading it since I finished the entire series. I have to say that this time through knowing now the various betrayals, back story, subterfuge and underpinnings it makes it a different book. I am actually in the process of rereading the entire series.

Occasionally they find their way under the pillows. More often they are made up into the bed. I've been known to wake up hugging one like a teddy bear.

I've read The Last of the Mohicans and enjoyed it tremendously. I cannot have any other distractions when reading it though. Cooper likes detail, lots of detail.

I love her books!!!! So well written and the way she builds here characters generates concern with the readers.

This is a fantabulous book that I keep on my coffee table; I haven't read it all, yet--but I'm savoring it all. As a teacher (and I consider this to be a "helping profession"), I've always needed help establishing boundaries between work and play.

Sedaris is a writer that has consistently massaged my every emotion. His storytelling is amazing. For me, I would go from tears to really laugh outloud episodes that literally scared my cats off of the couch. Make SURE you read When You Are Engulfed In Flames. Let me know your critique of his writing style. ~ T.
