I read that book a decade ago, and it haunts me still. There are some facts about animal penises I just don't need to know. Gack!

Read the book many years ago and I agree....I could have certainly done without the "fun" animal facts!

I get to read it, with a small group of friends who are in town, this weekend.

Selected Poems

ee cummings

Inspired by this recent magazine article, so I picked up a copy and decided to reacquaint myself with ee.

bright_arrow · 03-16-2015, 01:45 AM

Last book I read was the second in the Gardella vampire series.. In an attempt to not buy the next five, I am re-reading Insurgent.

However, my guy bought me the first book in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Kootz last week so I am itching to get lost in that!

He already bought me the last book of the series (my fault, I hadn't researched the series and just added to my list!) so now I need them all. Mwahah..! I mean, ahem, oops!

"Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Originally published in 1930. As germane now, 85 years later, as it was then.

cinnamongrrl · 03-28-2015, 06:19 AM

I just started reading "The Big Bad Wolf" by James Patterson.

I realized I'd never read anything of his before. I'm on a popular author binge. His writing is very good from the get go. I enjoyed Grisham, but he was a slow starter..

GeorgiaMa'am · 03-28-2015, 01:21 PM

I'm about halfway through Funny Girl: A Novel by Nick Hornby. It was recommended on the podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour so I jumped on the bandwagon. It's set in the 1960's era BBC studios, and I like Britcoms, so I've found it pretty interesting. BTW, it has nothing to do with that Barbra Streisand movie.

Cailin · 03-28-2015, 08:37 PM

i love reading this page and seeing everything that everyone is reading... it makes me happy and sad simultaneously. Happy because I love finding out about new books, and sad because i can't read a damned one until this semester is done.

I am so with you on that one!! Just a couple months to go...It seems now that I have my Master's and am continuing my education they have dumped the reading on me....It seems I am doing two books per month per class!! I have also noticed that since I am getting older I am not reading as quickly as I used to due to my eyesight.

I'm counting down the days!!

1 more month to the day. I can almost feel myself able to breathe. I have such a list, not to mention magazines that are stacking up. I feel some "all nighters" coming my way this summer.

cinnamongrrl · 04-13-2015, 04:19 AM

I've also begun reading 1776 by David McCullough...for.when Eleanor of Aquitaine becomes too dry. Plus, I just love that era in history. And I hear good things about Mr. McCullough.. This will be the first book of his that I read.

deathbypoem · 04-01-2015, 10:42 AM

Women who kept the lights : an illustrated history of female lighthouse keepers / Mary Louise Clifford, J. Candace Clifford.

Danger and loneliness were common themes in the lives of 140 women lighthouse keepers in the United States from 1776 to the mid-20th century. Most were appointed to succeed a deceased husband or father, and most appear to have borne the risks with fortitude and outright heroism. While the challenges and duties these women faced were similar, the authors have captured the uniqueness of each woman's experience.

cinnamongrrl · 04-11-2015, 08:27 PM

I'm back to non fiction.

By Alison Weir

The great poets...but with biographies, I prefer some straight shooting...so I may not stick with it..time.will.tell
