What are you reading?

I am reading 'Unbearable Lightness' by Portia de Rossi. This is a memoir of her life with a focus on modeling, Hollywood, family issues, and her eating disorders. What an intense and well-written book. She really pours her soul into the pages. Celeb books are always questionable but this one feels genuine and shows talent.

Oh, and it's also about coming out as a lesbian and being married to Ellen DeGeneres, of course!

Friday Nights

Mona nibbling neck in the restroom at the theatre.
Lisa didn't think she would make it
through dinner and a movie without coming.
Mona take her food into her mouth slow, she chew slow,
she smile when she chew. She take in every
taste, look up a Lisa. Swallow when
she ready. Smile again. Chew.

Some Friday nights, Lisa
don't wear no panties.
Some Fridays she like
it when Mona rip 'em off
and she got to search
the Sunday ad pagers
for lingerie sales. Some
Fridays she put Mona's dick
and harness in her purse.
Tell Mona to hold her purse while
she go to the restroom. Tell Mona
her breath stank and to check in
there for some chewing gum or something.
Some Fridays, Lisa flirts with every butch
around while Mona watches. Some Fridays,
she let Mona dance with other femmes,
just so she can interrupt,
take her sweet daddy back
behind the coat rack,
give her something special
special, 'fore they
get home.

An Indecent Obsession by Collen McCullough~ my alltime favorite author. Written in 1981, this neurologist turned writer can really get into the characters and make them come alive and so human. She also wrote the Thorn Birds a huge bestseller and later made into a movie that was a big hit. This story is about a nurse in the mental ward of a hospital in the South Pacific after WWII; she and all the patients are from Australia and she works her way through their healing and her own.

Colleen also wrote a series of books about Rome; First Man Of Rome, Grass Crown, Ceasar's Women, etc. Seven or eight in all that really capture Rome and it's most famous citizens in all their glory!

One of the best short story collections I have ever read (and I am not usually a fan of short fiction!).
