I've been done with the Hunger Games - I was surprised at how quickly I blew through them. I've mentioned them to random strangers in airports. Sigh. I am such a nerd sometimes.
I am currently reading "At Risk" by Patricia Cornwell. For those who remember my vehemence about e-readers vs. books... I've surrendered and downloaded the Kindle app on the iPhone AND the iPad. |

I need some good reading suggestions, please.
My son gave me an Amazon Gift Card for Christmas, which I am eager to use, and I am done reading all that I had previously downloaded. |

What genre do you enjoy?
One of my favorite authors is Jacqueline Carey - the Kushiel series is one that I can re-read over and over. I also enjoyed "Room". Sherri Reynolds lives here in VA and is, IMO, a wonderful southern author. On my Kindle app waiting to be read are: A Tinker's Damn Keeper of Keys Dead Wood Big Lake The Collectibles The Wedding Gift |

I like magical realism, mystery, drama, basically anything that is intelligently written and I don't figure out the ending within the first few pages.
I will look those up, thank you. |

whole grain, organic, ciabatta, or twinkie. it's all the same.
Still on the food science tip. After Gary Taubes' groundbreaking Why We Get Fat: And What To do About It, Wheat Belly is a quick read.

Empires, Nations & Families: A History of the North American West 1800-1860 by Anne F. Hyde
This book documents the broad family associations that crossed national and ethnic lines and that, along with the river systems of the trans-Mississippi West, formed the basis for a global trade in furs that had operated for hundreds of years before the land became part of the United States. It shows how the world of river and maritime trade effectively shifted political power away from military and diplomatic circles into the hands of local people, and reveals how, in the 1850's immigrants to these newest regions of the United States violently wrested control from Native and other powers, and how conquest and competing demands for land and resources brought about a volatile frontier culture. I haven't finished this, but it is fascinating and very well written.

reading "Witch and Wizard" by James Patterson right now. 65% in and I still don't give a damn about any of the characters. Not a good sign. I think I'm just reading it cause I'm 65% done and I may as well finish it... kinda like a Saturday night date...

Yesterdays reading selections included Edgar Allen Poe's a Tell Tale Heart, and Ralph Waldo Emerson's The American Scholar.
I just love the early American Authors, they have so much passion, so much drive and such eloquence. If today's activists, or even politicians had even an eighth of their skill and determination and grace, the world would be a far different place.
