I am usually too tired to do much reading at night, some New Yorker or Newsweek articles and am working on Life of Pi.

I am reading Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Policeman's Union." It is set in Sitka, Alaska which is the author's invention of a Jewish Settlement which developed after the defeat of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948. This is the vehicle for his story of a burned-out detective trying to redeem himself. I recommend it as a good read.

I have recently heard some rave reviews about the book - The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I was told it was an excellent book, and to read it with a partner if possible. I was just curious if anyone had actually read it?

I am reading The House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Along with several other school textbooks.

I'm currently reading another book by Sue Monk Kidd, The Mermaid Chair. I totally enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees. I recently went to hear her speak; what transformation in her life! Azucena.

1984 - George Orwell -- It is amazing to see so much of it being fulfilled.

Currently I am still reading a book written by W.E.B.DuBoise, (THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLKS) I plan to do a book report on this. It is a book essays written by this author. I find this book to be very educational for me, and also it
is quite interesting.

Have you read any of Dan Brown's books?

"A Hand To Guide Me: Denzel Washington" Inspiring Personal Stories and I just finished, Jermaine Dupri's book...

I just finished Laurell K Hamilton's book A Stroke of Midnight and im reading now the play Portia Coughlan by Marina Carr.

Always waiting for the next Laurell Hamilton book although the last have been more sex then story, but Im still there for both her series. Kim Harrison's new one The Outlaw Demon Wails was another great addition to her series. Was out of books and picked one up at the super market the other day Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon, half romance/ half sci-fi greek and sumerian gods battle it out with demons and the personal relationships. I read the Ruins, the new movie thats out. I had a feeling the book was going to be better then the movie. The ending still dissappointed. Doesnt anyone write an ending anymore, we are so hollywood everything has to have a sequel. I'm off the B&N website to locate my next book.....

I am reading "La Balsa de Piedra" (The Stone Raft) by Jose Saramago, a delightful novel in which the Iberic peninsula separates from the rest of Europe. I love the way he weaves stories, facts, images to get the reader into the environment of uncertainty and adventure the leading characters live.

I read Purpose Driven Life several years ago and thought is was a very good book.  I will definatley get you thinking. 

I've returned to Donald Barthelme's Sixty Stories -- for all of your post-modern lit fans, this is a real winner. It's also a great choice for those who enjoy short stories.
