I probably won't be done with the book I'm reading right now until later this week but I'm going to check out The Hunger Games soon!
JD? I've read the book of essays by Wallace: A Supposedly a fun thing I'll never do again. Which of his essays did you appreciate the most? (gotta go, I'm at work) |

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. I didn't want to really read it but it was all that was left in my house that I had not touched and I am pleasantly surprised. Also flipping back to The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver on my Kindle...wonderful read

 A packet of hand-scrawled letters found in a stranger's backpack tells of self-sufficient communities growing from the ruins of California's housing collapse and the global recession. In unfinished Mojave Desert housing tracts and foreclosure ghost towns on the raw edges of the chaotic cities of the West, people have gathered to grow their own food, school their own children and learn how to live without the poisons of gossip, greed, television, mobile phones and the Internet. Encouraged by an enigmatic wanderer known only as "B," the communities thrive as more families and workers are discarded by an indifferent system. But this quiet revolution and its simple rituals cannot stay unnoticed for long, because the teachings of "B" threaten an entire structure of power and wealth dependent upon people toiling their lives away to buy things they don't need.  Cass Neary made her name in the 1970s as a photographer embedded in the burgeoning punk movement in New York City. Her pictures of the musicians and hangers on, the infamous, the damned, and the dead, got her into art galleries and a book deal. But 30 years later she is adrift, on her way down, and almost out. Then an old acquaintance sends her on a mercy gig to interview a famously reclusive photographer who lives on an island in Maine. When she arrives Downeast, Cass stumbles across a decades-old mystery that is still claiming victims, and into one final shot at redemption.

book rant
just finished
Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World - Richard Rhodes i have to give it a skip it unless you are interested in a cliff notes of the life of george anthiel the most interesting part was the introduction - which was the story i was hoping to explore further in the pages of this book instead it was a half hearted account of george antheil - an interesting subject and multiple quoting of hedy lemarr saying "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid." followed by numerous accounts of her being described as the most beautiful woman in the world cmon - when you have a person who escapes nazi germany, becomes a hollywood star and who teams up with the self described bad boy of music to invent something to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam and this book is what you get a sad world indeed |

Packing up to move has brought on a re-reading frenzy (I think for every 5 books I pack away, I take out at least 3 to read). So, at the moment, I am re-reading several Agatha Christie, a few Anne Rivers Siddons, and, one of my favorites, "The Dogs of Babel" by Carolyn Parkhurst
(I'm never going to finish packing, am I? lol)
