EJ just got back from visiting her friend Shirley. They typically end up going to Barnes and Noble for coffee and book-hunting.
Tonight, she brought home a new Carol O'Connell "Mallory" novel, and a new Dana Stabenow "Kate Shugak" novel. Two good hits at once.
I'm in Fat City.
So's El. I asked EJ to get her "Speaker for the Dead", since she enjoyed Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" so much. All happily reading for the next couple of days. 
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Finishing up with Martin Davies' "The Conjurer's Bird" before I dive into the others--that book that would make a great movie.
Best,
George

I just love to read! I'm a fast reader. I have loads of books here at my tiny halls of residence room, lots of more back at my childhood home and few more at our summer cottage. My mum joked that when I moved back to Finland from UK I had one luggage filled with books...  Nearly the truth...
I'm currently reading Lauren Weisberger's Everyone Worth Knowing. The girl's gotta have some balance to the media theory books! 
Happy reading,
Sanna

I ordered one due out Fat Tuesday Feb. 20th called "The Dozen Paczkis" It's about the disappearance of twelve poonchkis and ends up in Fat City. Should finish it in a day, many at work want to check it out.

I've yet to read that one, Tara. I love reading Dean Koontz. I'm impatiently waiting for book three to his "Frankenstein" series. It was supposed to be out last August, but since it is a story based in today's New Orleans, he had to put off the release to deal with issues like Katrina in it. Have you read any of his "Odd Thomas" books? I've read "Odd Thomas" and "Forever Odd." Jane currently has the most recent one, "Brother Odd," and should be finished with it tonight. Either tonight or tomorrow, I'll be starting that one.
Stephen King is another favorite of mine. I loved the "Dark Tower" series. It's cool how so many characters from his other books ended up in the series. His most recent book that I have read is "Cell." Makes you think twice about answering that cell phone call. LOL
