Currently reading, The Lesbian History Sourcebook: love and sex between women in Britain from 1780 to 1970, by Alison Oram and Annmarie Turnbull

and

Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold, Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy and Madeline D. Davis.

The first I picked up for only $3.00 used and is good if you have an interest in the subject matter.

The second probably needs no description and is something I should have had on my shelf long ago!

I know someone who is currently reading that same Stephen King book and says its good too, so I might borrow it at some point to read it Myself

I just finished "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. Absolutely recommend it. I have now ordered his other novel "How Evan Broke His Head and other Secrets.".... The author also has another novel coming out in March of 2010 which I will surely purchase as well.

I have now vowed to get through the Lord of the Rings books and all of the Harry Potter's. I have seen all the films and loved them. So now I am starting The Hobbit and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I have read the first 6 Harry Potter books....they mesmerize me! I'm behind, I realize.....

I received "The Last Lecture" from my Sissy.....it's by Randy Pausch....perhaps You have heard of him. This is the Carnegie Mellon computer science professor who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I have not finished this book, but so far it is an easy read and very powerful and profound. It's a good book to read when You (read: "I"!!!) think things are just horrible in Your [my] life. Half~way through, I have been moved to tears several times.

I also received "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies".... THAT should be interesting! <giggle>........and "The Lost Continent: Travels in small-town America" by Bill Bryson (did I mention this already? Or am I having a severe deja vu?).....at first, I thought the giver had already read it, as it had a coffee ring stain on the cover....then I realized it was part of the artwork! <giggling>

Additionally...but perhaps won't be of much interested here...CydKitty gave me (be still my heart!) "The Culinary Institute of America's Baking At Home"...........<sigh> In case You hadn't picked up on it, I adore baking!

I'll be immersed shortly!!

I am there as well. I am still on the first book and just purchased the next two. My niece and nephew always told Me to read them because I enjoyed the movies. However, I found them daunting thinking they would just ramble on. Quite the contrary.

I am also reading a Garth Stein novel (My latest favorite author)..."How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets". I received The Art of Racing in the Rain for Christmas and could not put it down. I am thinking this next novel is going to be just as good.
