Wicked
Mike Firesmith Sep 10, 2007, 6:00pm EDT
I read wicked. It's a great book. It's sad at the end when she dies.

what am I reading? Sarah G's comment to your post.
Jennifer G. Sep 10, 2007, 6:03pm EDT
If you're looking for a book to read, read the Twilight series... you'll find it in the YA section of your bookstore, but it seems to appeal to a much broader audience than that.

Right now, I'm reading Rebel Angels, the sequel to a Great and Terrible Beauty.

For the Time Being by Annie Dillard. I am loving it. Next up is 1984. I read it in HS when 1984 was the future. I thought it would be interesting to read it again.
Dianne G. Sep 10, 2007, 8:15pm EDT
Hey Jedimaster (if you read down this far)---I just finished Vonnegut's "Man without a country." It was his last word, and it was sad. Sad but I still laughed out loud, because Vonnegut is Vonnegut, and now he's gone.

The Arabs: Journeys Beyond the Mirage by David Lamb

It is very interesting.
Kim J. Sep 11, 2007, 7:42am EDT
American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips. What is very interesting, in a morbid way, is that although this book was published early 2006, he speaks about what could happen if we had the housing bubble, credit bubble burst(which has developed with loans) and oil rates based on Euro's not the $(which was being pushed very hard by Saddam Hussein in 2001 & 2).
The first part of the book undertakes the politics of oil and the Republican party and...to a lesser degreee, the Democratic party. The theocracy part is all repug and how repug strategy tied together oil policy and religion(end timers believe a war in the Middle East is the real deal, business needs more oil fields).

I doubt that you'd enjoy my current book, the rulebook for the Shadowrun game.

However, if you enjoy fantasy books I suggest the Sharing Knife by Lois McMaster Bujold; if you want something funny in the fantasy line I suggest either Guards, Guards by Terry Pratchett or Goblin Quest by Jim C Hines.

If you like more real life drama there's Namesake. I don't normally read dramatic books; I have enough drama in my life.

If you want romance with a dash of humor and the supernatural there's Don't Talk Back to Your Vampire by Michele Bardsley or Undead & Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson.

If science fiction is your cup of tea there's Catharine Asaro or Linnea Sinclair (I really enjoyed Accidental Goddess). You can go back to the classics with something by Andre Norton or Anne McCaffrey. If you want something that is a short run of books, there's the Fuzzy series by H. Beam Piper. Mother of Demons is also good science fiction.

If alternate history seems appealing, there's 1632 by David Weber.

Natural Slection by Dave Freedman (horror) very good.

I am just finishing James McPherson's ANTIETAM. I should be finishing that this evening and am moving along to a biography of James Madison by Richard Labunski. The only current author I have any use for in the fiction genre is Richard Russo. I believe his new novel will be out later this month, and I am anxious to read it as soon as I can get my hands on it.
Layla Morgan Wilde Sep 12, 2007, 8:42pm EDT
I just finished a fascinating book about fashion in Paris during the '70's called After the Fall. It focuses on designers Yves St Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, their early friendship and eventual falling out.
