Some locals have formed an impromptu reading group to read the Man Booker shortlist

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/gall...11-in-pictures

rather ambitiously they've set two books for next week (I'm unlikely to have time to read both) but I've just sent these two to my kindle.

'Pigeon English' by Stephen Kelman

and

'Snowdrops' by A.D. Miller

Just finished "The Sociopath Next Door" non fiction. scarier than fiction.

4% of the population or 1 in 25 people, have no conscience. look around the room right now and see if you can pick them out!

seriously - really good book. You look at people differently and a bit more objectively. Watch out for those who consistantly play the pity card.

I ordered this from my library and am on the list to get it. Life can be scarier than fiction that is for sure!!

Have I ever said I LOVE MY LIBRARY. Well if not, I do. So I said it. I admit it. I am a library junkie.

So today I picked up "Not One Damsel in Distress ~ World Folktales for Strong Girls" by Jane Yolen.

I am asked to storytell for different events, so I am always trying to find interesting folktales that we may not necessarily have ever heard. I also try to find stories about women, strong women, or wiley women... etc. There are far too many male heroes in our north american cultural mythology. I am only one women, but I hold the power of my voice, my body and imagination to encourage other women to embrace the hero within.

Anyway... I feel a tangent coming on.
