at first i was incredulous that someone (a brain scientist none the less) suffering a stroke and losing "pathways" to so many things would retain this experience with so much detail but the book won me over i couldn't put it down very information packed and still accessible reading plus fascinating is right thanks for sharing this find i now have a completely different outlook on the childhood times i shared with my stroke affected grandma |

wow, i just realized it's been awhile since i've posted in here
my reading has slowed down a bit the last few weeks...lately i've still been working through 'sex & disability'... started reading 'health at every size' and i'm halfway through 'the time traveler's wife' (borrowed it from my sis yesterday - i read half of it in the dr's office, that visit took like 5 hours yesterday, but it feels a bit like it's dragging to me so i don't know how long it'll take me to finish) i've also been rereading 'the good and beautiful life' off and on for the third or fourth time. |

I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker or Fifty Shades Freed but there is a tremendous amount of buzz! I just read an article where the author E.L. James says she's sold the movie adaptation already to Focus the folks who did Brokeback Mountain.

Okay, Angela's Ashes had two strikes against it. One - I'm not particularly into Irish literature as a genre, and two - it was a movie. Fairly nor not, I tend to view books that are made into movies with a certain degree of suspicion - but only if I haven't already read and enjoyed the book. Right - mostly not.
But I was at lunch at work and desperate for something to read, and there was Angela's Ashes in the lost & found bin. Can I just tell you? - I couldn't put it down. Frank McCourt blew my socks off.

Just finished The Spellman's Strike Again by Lisa Lutz. Better than the last one. The one after this -- it's a series -- i heard was a big let down, so i hesitate to invest.
It's about a neurotic family of Private Investigators, and it's set in San Francisco. |

I actually picked this book up today while I was at the mall. My friend told me, with a giggle, that I should read it. I read the reviews before purchasing, so I am not overly excited about reading it. I read that the writing is horrible. I am more curious about the BUZZ all around it.
I'll let you know my thoughts in a couple days! Quote:

I just finished J.R.Ward's new book, Lover Reborn. Yes I like those vampire books. Escapist fantasy. I don't know what I'll pick up next. I've also been reading S.M. Stirling's The Change series. This one is a very good read. Enjoy everyone.
