The Chronicals of Narnia I just started reading this series by C.S. Lewis.First book The Magicians Nephew.My nephew Christopher had them with him in Iraq.His senior English teacher gave him the series for graduation and as a going away gift.Anyone who's read them want to share their thoughts.Liked /didn't like,favorate book/charactors of the series and would you recommend......
I am a big Danielle Steel fan.get them whenever I can find one I haven't read which is getting harder and harder. I started Lila the follow up to Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.have't finished either on hope to someday.I'm just borrowing
the C.S.Lewis series so I have to read them first..
so what are you reading?inquiring minds want to Know..

Currently I'm reading lots of books about journalism and fanhood because of my MA dissertation.
But when I'm relaxing I read now:
Wayne W. Dyer: Creating Miracles in Everyday Life
and
Jenny Colgan: Working Wonders
I just love reading!

Bill Bryson: A Short History on Nearly Everything.
(I've petitioned the publisher to have it renamed more accurately: A Short History on Nearly Everything, and Everyone)
and The Psilocybin Solution (this is unparalleled good reading)

Rereading "The World Inside," by Robert Silverberg. It seemed so deep 25 years ago. Pretty thin now. 
Some short shorts by Larry Niven.
It's been 15 years since I dug into science fiction. I need to catch up. Damn cyberpunk drove me away after a time.
Chipping away at stuff.

That's a great book, broomie. I read it when mooshie was about 4. LOL It totally changed my perspective on parenting a child with lots of, uh, "spirit".
I'm starting Alice Walker's Now Is The Time To Open Your Heart.
