I'm half way through Blue Religion by Michael Connelly. Lots of short stories about cops - excellent.

I recently finished The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass, which is the best book I have read in a very long time. It definitely makes it into my top ten. :D I highly recommend it - the new translation is terrific and faithful to Grass' original unconventional but riveting use of language.

I have moved onto Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, which is a fictional account of Miller's adventures amongst the prostitutes, pimps and penniless painters and artists in Paris in the 20's and 30's. Some of the language is quite graphic, but it is a perceptive and entertaining account of some quite unusual characters.
So we beat on, boats aginst the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Just finished 'The Great Gatsby' for fun, and 'The Little Book Of Thrift' to learn from.

Both were under $20 and both were fab reads.



I am reading several right now

Safe Haven -Nicholas Sparks

Dawn - V.C Andrews
Flowers in the Attic-VC Andrews
Three to Get Deadly-Janet Evanovich

Now, Voyager by Olive Higgins Prouty (since I love the Bette Davis film I thought I'd give it a go)

I'm also annotating The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte as well

So, I went to download some JCO from amazon and realized it was time for a new prime download. Of course, none of hers was so I got Mourning Becomes Cassandra - Christina Dudley. I have to say, I am impressed! I was very moved and appreciated the religious message not being thrown in my face. Now, on to JCO!
