soooo...whatchya readin?
i know lots of us pixies like to read (when they aren't smutting around that is ), so i thought we could share our reads here.
fiction or non, good articles, whatever, just post it.
or, if you've read a good book lately, give the rest of us worms a recommendation.
right now i'm reading imajica (clive barker). really enjoying it so far. just finished king's latest gunslinger installment, song of susanna. it only took me about a day and a half so you can see it was an easy read but it was great. can't wait for the last book to come out so i can finally (after what seems like 1,000 years of waiting) see what happens at the tower. oh, and also reading a romance, to balance out imajica, a useful affair by stella cameron (hey, a girl needs her tall dark and handsomes every now and again).

AH! No spoilers about Song of Susannah please! I'm on the waiting list at the library. I'm so glad that he finished the series, the rumors that he wasn't going to were scaring me for awhile.
Anyway. I'm currently making my way through the repertoire of Philip Roth, who is the favorite author of my favorite professor. It's been good so far, he's slightly naughty, makes for interesting reads. I'm reading American Pastoral right now, just started it, but it's good so far. The only downside that I can see - not for me - is that he makes a lot of Jewish references that may be beyond reach for many readers. But it's not the whole story, and if you care to so much, you could always look the references up. Anyway, I recommend him. Good reading.

I'm catching up on all my professional journals. Nothing like sitting around the the pool with a hot copy of The Reading Teacher or Teaching Exceptional Children.

I'm in the process of reading "Perdido Street Station" by China Miéville. I have started this book three times in the last year but for some reason or other haven't finished. Now that all the rest of my books are burried in boxes, I have vowed that I will finish this before I go digging for something else to read! The funny thing is that it is a genre I love and what I have read so far is well written and interesting, I have no idea why I haven't been able to finish it yet. Plus the jacket photo of this guy is great! He is cute.

Oh, four or five different things as is usual for any given point in my life. Usually, something in the realm of science-fiction, something having to do with military history, the latest issue of "Reptiles" magazine, some religion's holy book, and occasionally, I will read some general fiction.

I love to read. I recently finished "Fried Green Tomatoes", never having seen the movie before... it was such a fun book!
Right now I'm reading nursing assistant textbooks.

I've read a couple of different Fannie Flag books....I think "Welcome to the World Baby Girl" was one I really liked.

I'll check it out, Lil... I like her style for sure.
Another book I've recently read and loved was "The Secret Life Of Bees", by Sue Monk Kidd
