DIVAlicious, anything by Anne Rice is a must read as far as I'm concerned...

My favorite book is The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. It's a great intro to the basic principles of Taoism..

Yes!!! Haven't been a fan of Anne Rice, but someone recently gave me The Beauty Series, so it's in my stack to read! Thank You, Miss Precious Thang!

A few books that I've read recently and liked are:



My Life as a Fake and His Illegal Self by Peter Carey. These are both great books, mostly due to Carey's uniquely descriptive writing style.


Under the Dome by Stephen King was also good and the first of his books that I've liked in years. It's about a town in Maine that is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world by a mysterious, impenetrable dome. The ending was almost lame but somehow managed to work.

Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord, which I loved. I found two different translations and was surprised by how different they were. I found out after I started researching which quotes were correct that Debord was furious about the shabby translating and only recommended certain editions.

have you seen The Te of Piglet Duchess? it's also quite good.

i'm currently re-reading The Language Instinct by Steven Pinker. given the lively debate in another thread i'd recently participated in i decided i needed a refresher in the ways the human brain creates and perceives language and meaning.

I found The Te of Piglet quite fascinating and I especially appreciate Hoff's use of the Pooh characters. The Language Instinct sounds like a must read. Thanks for sharing.
