I’m reading “The Traveler” by John Twelve Hawks. It’s an insightful (and often scary) book about the constant surveillance we all live with now…and where that might lead.

Look Me In the Eye by John Elder Robison. It details his life with Asperger’s Syndrome, not diagnosed until he was in his forties. I read it in just over a day. His brother is Augusten Burroughs, another writer I adore.

Also, anything by David Sedaris is fabulous, in my opinion.

I would read all day long if I could. A year or so ago I started a list of everything I read so you can check it out on my blog. I like older fiction better than anything new and I read a lot of non-fiction. I buy most of my children's books from thrift stores. I have found so many great old books that way! http://www.lazyorganizer.com/blog/?page_id=908 Lara

I highly recommend The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its follow-up, The Girl Who Played With Fire. Both are by Stieg Larsson (Swedish author). I finally succumbed to the Twilight craze and read the first one over the summer-finished it in two days and went right out to buy the other three and had the whole series finished in a week. They were very easy reading and an intriguing storyline. I also love anything by Jodi Piccoult.
Thanks for reminding me about Goodwil/Salvation Army–we will go look for new reading material.

I just read a couple of the more recent Janet Evanovich books. Light, fluffy (good for tired brains) and makes me laugh. Then a new one called “Dog On It” (can’t remember author), a mystery told from a dog’s point of view, which was also funny.

Right now it’s “The Memory Collector” (can’t remember author). Also sort of a mystery/suspense, but a little more gritty, not humorous.

Guess I’ve strayed, I’m usually a fantasy/sci fi/ horror person, but I have to sneak into the “Young Adult” section at the library to get most of those!

I just finished In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner. It was really good. Since I am totally unaware of what is in the movies anymore I did not know that it had been made into a movie about 5 years ago. There were a couple of scenes in the book that were so funny that I laugh hysterically every time I think about them – I tried to read one to my sister and could not – laughing too hard.
