I started reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Its about a woman who, after a series of traumatic events, decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I've read other memoirs where people do these things as a sort of sabbatical. Maybe that's why I'm drawn to the idea.... I SAY I just started reading it but I'm about 25% through already. One thing I do love about my job; it affords me a wonderful opportunity to read...

After finishing The Paying Guest by Sara Waters (which I enjoyed very much btw) I picked up
This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper (Yes the movie out is based on this book). I am almost 3/4 of the way thru this book and have no idea why I continue to read it

Lesbian Romance
I am so happy my copy of The Blush Factor by Gun Brooke JUST arrived!
I'm sure it will be the equivalent of those heterosexual harlequin romance novels, but that is just the type of escapism I'm looking for now

Tonight I'm starting...
Made from Scratch: discovering the pleasures of a homemade life by Jenna Woginrich. This is the same author as Barnheart and I love her writing. However, if she whines about being single in this book too... I won't buy another!! Note about Wild...it was honest and endearing. The author bared her soul and its given me a lot to think about as far as my own motivators for wanting to hike the AT and MTS and now...despite the difficulties she wrote of..the PCT as well...its therapy...from the inside out. Bottom line...

The Tie That Binds by Kent Haruf
I typically read only non fiction and I realize by doing so I'm missing out on a lot...so I'm attempting to alternate fiction and non fiction. The synopsis is kindof muddled. An older woman lies dying in a hospital bed under police guard. She is accused of murder. The story is told in the voice of her longtime neighbor. We shall see...

I have been reading more and more about the growing disparity between populations of those living in poverty and the those who seemingly are wealthy.
It is truly sad, to me, that in this day and age, women and children are yet to be treasured and valued members of society (here or abroad). I hope to come across encouraging news, soon.
