Reading rocks. I pity people who snub books or think reading is "uncool" or for "nerds". They don't know what they're missing. I also wouldn't want to imagine what it would not to be able to read.

Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor

Wow it sure is racy for the time it was written!(1944) I think it was banned in some areas of the US. But it is actually a very factual and historic novel about 17th Century England. Ms Winsor's account of the"Black Death" (Bubonic Plague) that wiped out over 1/3 of Europe's population is very intense reading. This book has the best of both worlds, Sex and history!;)

I recommend Forever Amber . Very good reading!

I heard about that book ("A Child Called 'It'"). I'll probably read it by the end of this year - I'm behind on my leisurely reading. :lol:



Right now, I'm reading "Hollywood, Interrupted" (and yes, that title was lifted from the famous Angelina Jolie movie, "Girl, Interrupted"). It's a really funny book so far, and VERY recently came out, so it's a brand-new book. Def. worth checking out. If you want to find it, it can be found in the television section of any bookstore. :D

I'm not currently reading anything. Too busy at work and being Mr. Mom

I finished Greely's Cove by John Gideon a few weeks ago. WHOA! what a great book about vampires! It's out of print but if you can find a copy- snatch it up! Greely's Cove rivals SK's best work. It's kind of a Salem's Lot on steriods!

I am reading a book called White Shadows :D

I like to read mysteries once in a while, but I mostly read romance

The best would be Body of Evidence :D

I love that author. I enjoyed Postmortem.

Judy Blume's 'Wifey'

wow, i've always been a fan of her books, especially the Fudge series, but Wifey is different, it's not something you'd expect Judy to write. wow, is all i can say.
