On the last chapter of Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz- wow what a ride!
Am currently halfway through Mary Roach's "Spook". This is a follow-up to her 'Stiff: the Secret Life of Cadavers". Blame it on my morbid sense of humor.
Right now I'm reading Maybe This Christmas by....uhh, I can't remember the author's name at the moment and I'm too lazy to get up and look....LOL!
And Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul!

"Spook" wasn't nearly as entertaining or interesting as "Stiff".
Did you hear that Eragon is being made into a movie? I haven't read it yet, but several of my fellow teachers have. I also read Sisterhood for something light, and really liked it.
Currently, I am reading Jan Karon's last Mitford novel and The Historian. I'm about 1/4 through The Historian, and really like it.
ok im reading scott cuninghams guide to insence, oils and brews
I've been thinking about pickking up Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell looks like I might just do that. Of course, first I need to go through my bookshelves and make sure I don't already have it.
Currently reading Single Mother By Choice by Jane Mattes. I'm not at the point I'm ready to make that kind of decision but it's something I'm kicking around for when I reach my late thirties/early forties.
Also getting ready to start Christ the Lord: Out of Eygpt by Anne Rice. I've read all her other books so this should be interesting to see what this new direction feels like.
I also just went on an ordering spree at Barnes and Noble, post Christmas spending is go great, so I have a lot of books coming my way.
Oh and for some reason, I'm really into Non-fiction books right now which is an arena I haven't dabbled in much...anyone have any suggestions? I'm into historical non-fiction and studies on sociology but I've found some are great and some are not so good.
I read "Christ the Lord - Out of Egypt a couple of weeks ago. Anne Rice should stick to the dark side.
I'm about half way through it and I do like the "dark side" better from her as well. It's not horrible but not up to par with her other stuff. I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow then move onto something else. My Mother also wants to read it although she wasn't into the Vampire Novels. My Dad will probably read it as well, it'll be interesting to hear what he thinks of it since he's a fan as well.
At any rate, next on the list to read:
Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner
Finding God in Harry Potter by John Granger
And when my shipments from Barnes and Noble arrive: Prey by Michael Crichton, I've been wanting to read this for a while and it's on clearance at Barnes and Noble for $3.99. I couldn't pass it up.
Right now... I am on a "Narnia" phase after seeing the movie, so I am read the Narnia series of books all in one big book

Just read the Nanny Diaries- absolutely a good and fast read. Lots of laughs as well as some tears inside-
Getting ready to start The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank by Ellen Feldman

I've just finished two by Ann Rule: "Worth More Dead" (okay) and "Green River, Running Red" (fascinating).
I read Looking for God in Harry Potter by John Granger, very interesting. He also has a website, but I can't remember what it's called, maybe hogwartsprofessor.com or something like that.Originally Posted by GrayKittenLove

I just started a Million little pieces, Opera's book club. My Daughter got it for me for Christmas, she said it was great..
GrayKittenLove - have you read "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. Very interesting non fiction read.
I've just finished "Birds Without Wings" by Louis de Bernieres. Love that man! Really enjoyed this novel, I didn't get into as much as "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" but still a hard one to put down.

I'm halfway through "The Pilot's Wife" by Anita Shreve and it has really been wonderful so far.
I've got three books currently waiting in the wings as well. I've got "Good Grief" by Lolly Winston and then two lighter books to read, "4 Blondes" by Candace Bushnell (author of the original Sex and the City book) and "Bite" by C.J. Tosh.

Almost finished with Memoirs of a Geisha here. Before that, it was the sequel to Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, which was titled Forever Odd. Next I'm going for A Million Little Pieces. I can't seem to get enough to read lately!
I'm in the middle of "Hot Target" by Suzanne Brockmann
